The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The small kitchenette was well stocked. The motel rooms were small and we could hear people on both sides of our room.
Beautiful view of Lake Superior.

This is the second time we stayed. Our motel room was knotty pine and cute but the outdated bathroom was not. However, I could see they are remodeling the motel rooms and can’t wait to return. Beautiful and historic lodge with new sauna and shower room (which I wished I had used instead of the one in room.) the check in process was great.

I loved the log cabin feel of the place and the mini kitchenette. Things felt cozy. The private deck was outstanding, and with a beautiful view of Superior.

This is a very nice place. My wife and our two kids are thinking of coming back here again the future. If there is only downside is everthing is pretty much far away (Grand Marais) such as nice grocery stores and reasonable restaurants. Other than that, this place is nice.

My daughter just finished her semester at UMD and we were looking for a place to stay by Lutsen. We like hiking at Temperance state park and spending time in Grand Marais. The location was perfect.The rooms were perfect for us. They were equipped with everything you need, even a fan. We stayed in a motel rm with a kitchenette. The view was incredible and had a deck to sit on. We walked our dog down by the lake and sat on the rocks.
Our room was super clean. The beds comfortable. We will definitely come back.

Great spot on Lake Superior! Very dog friendly. We stayed in the motel and loved that it had a nice little deck off the back to watch the lake. Will definitely come back.

This is a comfy cozy place to stay. Could use a little updating in the rooms, but nothing worth not checking it out for. Staff were great and you are close to grand marais. Would definitely stay here again!

The folks at Solbakken were very kind and down to earth. They helped me jumpstart my car in the cold for about a half hour and were very hospitable! The cabin was cozy and had all you would need. Great stay thank you guys.

It is a nice, very simple, place to stay. The beds were comfortable. The biggest issue was the extremely hard water and very low water flow

A rustic and well maintained resort on Superior with friendly staff and pool table in the lodge.

Solbakkon has kept the old school feel of the lake resort. We stayed in the motel part that was pet friendly. The room was dated, but expected. Everything was clean. A small kitchenette and dishes where perfect for breakfast. Walking around the property was beautiful. And the lodge was great with games and hang out space. The staff was friendly, even sweet treats offered!! We also stayed warm and comfortable in negative degrees.

I really enjoyed the area, being so close to the lake was really nice. The accomodations were a little rustic but the price was nice for such a pretty view. Our trip was in the winter but I bet it's idyllic in the summer.

The staff was super friendly! And the amenities were a little outdated, but for the price and the view of Lake Superior that alone made it a pleasant stay.
