Americinn in Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from AU$321

"Great service and great partial view of Lake Superior. Room was spacious for a family of 6."

"This was a great find! So up to date but still woodsy and charming. I came in late, 10 pm, and was given great help with directions and one problem - i didn't know how to work the thermostat. I felt very safe and extremely comfortable. "

"This was a comfortable place to stay when we were in Ely."

"Stayed in room 210. Overall, I had a great stay. Some things to keep in mind. Since the lodge is right next to Hwy 61, there is a lot of road noise from the constant traffic that is going up and down the shore (the room faced the highway and the window needed to be open to cool it down. The room got a bit warm when the temp was warm outside. Our room did not have airconditioning. There was a portable fan in the room which was a huge help. Be careful crossing the road to visit the lake as Hwy 61 is very busy during the summer months. A pedestrian crosswalk would be a good. Parking is an issue for lodge guests when it's busy. Nicely remodeled room, despite the lodge being almost 100 years old. Virtually no place to set things in the bathroom or hang clothes. Needs a soap dish next to the sink. Positives: Nicely kept up interior. I loved the atmosphere and decor. Staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Fun game room in the basement with pool table and 3 old school video games. Ice machine is also in the basement as well as coin opperated laundry, should you have need. Area across the road, lakeside, was beautiful and easy access to lake. Restaurant next door had very good food and was convenient for dinner both nights (Make sure you get there by 7:30pm as they close at 8pm, even on the weekends). Overall well-maintained property. Outside of the building could use a new paint job but that is cosmetic stuff which didn't affect my stay."

"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."

"A beautiful mountain resort getaway. Very comfortable for larger parties. Would be awesome for ski season. "

"Great value, clean room, friendly staff"

"Friendly staff and clean comfortable rooms. Newly remodeled and fresh. Cute north woods details. "

"Very clean and looks to have been recently remodeled, the only criticism is no breakfast but but would definitely recommend "
