Hiking trails on the Superior Hiking Trail-ranked among the top 10 in the nation-are nearby, along with miles of rugged and paved biking trails. Guided climbing tours for all skill levels are available, and Lake Superior charter fishing trips can be arranged.

“The townhomes here are impressively spacious, capable of sleeping quite a few, and the mountain views from the lodge rooms are genuinely lovely. While the advertised ski-in/ski-out convenience can be a bit of a puzzle for beginners due to trail navigation, the on-site amenities like the pool and hot tub offer reliable comfort. It struck me as a solid value, especially when looking for a comfortable base for family activities.”
