Good place to enjoy
Cozy cabin, beautiful view, peaceful and quiet place. The place was clean except the ceiling fan that was pretty filthy. If you want to cook, you can do it because the have a small stove, dishes, silverware.

Rustic and friendly
This is a very old school, friendly place to stay in cabins and motel on the lake. The motel section is showing its age, and needs a refresh, but the staff is incredibly nice and the prices are very reasonable.

Great resort and location for us. Clean accommodations and welcoming reception when checking in. It's just a great place to stay as a jumping off point for daily activities along the northern North Shore. We'll be back again for our 6th year next year.

Clean and Comfy.
We Liked our stay. The bed was comfortable, and things were clean. Front desk helpful with interactions. The bathroom door made so much noise it woke us up in the night while using the bathroom. The toilet paper holder kept coming off and landing on the floor which also made noise. these are small things in the general picture, but still leave a memory that is not perfect. we would come back if in the area again

Perfect for our night stay
We were only able to stay a night but would have liked to stay longer. The staff was very welcoming. The lodge was cool. All the history. The view from our motel room was great. The deck was nice to sit out at night. The rooms were very clean and comfortable..it had everything we needed.

Cute and vintage
I stayed in the motel at Solbakken. It is vintage - reminded me of resorts I stayed in as a child. While things inside were older, they were clean. The bed was updated and cozy. The motel portion is not next to the lake - the cabins are behind the motel, and then the lake.
