Thomsonite Inn on Lake Superior

Location is incredible: outside the hustle and bustle of Gramd Marais. Yet very close to getting there for hiking, shopping, and dining! Sauna was intensely relaxing. Only bummer was the lack of advertised s’mores supplies the ONE evening (out of for) that we tried to do it.

I think this property is probably older, but our room "cabin" was updated fairly recently it appeared. Everything was nice and clean and we had a good amount of space. We appreciated the lady at the front desk answering questions we had and she was pretty friendly. They provide all the wood and charcoal if you want to grill or use the firepits. They even provide smores which we planned to use over the firepit but it got pretty windy and chilly so we made them inside on the gas stove. They have a few outdoor lawn games like bocce, cornhole and washers and we played washers. (They also have board games in the office if you get there early enough to check those out). The view is beautiful right along the water and there is lots of seating outdoors to enjoy it. We definitely enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful setting. Dated exterior and rough parking lot. Kind people at check in.

Staff was great, very friendly.

The staff was so friendly here, the view of the water was an incredible way to wake daily and the proximity to all of what the north shore has to offer is perfect for a family trip.
