I like the beautiful view of Lake Superior. It was across the road, not 10 miles away. I liked the location, I liked the room I stayed at. I especially enjoyed the coffee Julie had ready every morning on the deck. It was the most relaxing and beautiful place to enjoy my morning coffee. We had maid service everyday and the room was very comfortable, very clean. The other guests were friendly and resepectful of other guests. Julie and Butch were very helpful and very friendly. For those with negative comments, this is not your 5 star hotel with luxuries and service you receive only because it's their job. The Inn on Gitche Gumee is a rustic get away surrounded by nature with comfortable amenities, the service you receive is service from friendly people who truly want you to enjoy your visit, their town of Duluth and the Northshore. If you're looking to spend time away from the fast pace of the city, The Inn on Gitche Gumee rates 5 stars in my book of places to stay. Yes, I will go back. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508277 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508278 Pros: Our cabin, called "The Cabin" was gorgeously decorated with home items and very comfortable. It had a gorgeous view of Lake Superior. Lovely. Excellent price! The included soap was a wonderfully scented handmade soap. The owners were very amicable and answered questions about distances. They also made us a switch (for a TV with a VCR) when requested. The Inn is located on the North Shore Scenic Drive, which is gorgeous. Cons: The Inn is located a couple of miles out of Duluth the city, so it does take about 8 min? or so to reach the outskirts of the city. One time when we left early, we needed directions, but no one was in the office. This only happened once. We went in late April/early May, and our room could be a little chilly at night. Overall impressions: We ended up staying an extra day. The inn is wonderful, an excellent bargain, and we would return again. Hope you enjoy your stay! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508278 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508279 Perfect getaway and located so that we could enjoy Duluth as well as drive up the North Shore. Owners attended to our needs but were not overly friendly. I would go back again. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508279 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508280 Never saw Julie and Butch, No decent parking, and you can hear people in the office going in and out. Nothing to offer and watch the fine print they don't tell you things when you book about prices and extra people, a place that can sleep 8 shouldn't charge extra for 4 people http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508280 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508281 Service was the best in the area. Julie and Butch are very friendly. It is a wonderful place to get away for the weekend to unwind and enjoy the lake. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508281 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508282 wonderfully decorated with northshore decore, exceptional friendly service by Innkeepers Julie & Butch, convenient to Duluth, a very memorable experience - we can't wait to return we the sauna is completed! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Inn_on_Gitche_Gumee/r508282
