It was very clean, well decorated, and supplied with everything we needed. The kitchen is a little small, but fit our needs well. Staff were so friendly and accommodated our request for an earlier check in time due to an event we had to get ready for. We would definitely book here again - also a great value for the price.

"The hotel’s location is great, especially if you’re looking to explore the Lutsen area. The gondola ride is just a short walk away, which was very convenient. The property also has some nice amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, fire pits, backyard games, and an onsite restaurant. A few things could be improved—the pool was quite cold, and the temperature could have been maintained better. The property is also a bit dated and could use some renovation and updating. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed our stay!"

"If you're looking for a beautiful, quiet cabin in the woods with all the amenities, Little Bear Lodge is the place for you. We truly enjoyed our stay here! Not only was the property secluded; it was centrally located, so you could enjoy lots of what the North Shore had to offer -- hiking, canoeing in the BWCA, wine tasting, various dining options, shopping, etc. It also was a great place to relax and share family time, The numerous windows offered 24/7 views of the woods and allowed for cool breezes. An unobstructed look at the night sky was provided from both decks. Absolutely amazing! In addition, the hosts were awesome! They communicated frequently and were committed to making sure we enjoyed your stay. We would definitely visit again!"
