Northwoods comfort on Shagawa Lake

Set right on Shagawa Lake inside the Superior National Forest, Grand Ely Lodge keeps things easy with an indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna for year-round resets. The Fireside Lobby’s high ceilings, exposed wood beams, and cabin-style touches set the tone for low-key hangouts. When it’s time to eat, Evergreen Restaurant serves American favorites all day in a casual, family-friendly setting with big forest-and-lake views.

We had a really nice one-night stay. Our lake view room was worth it because that was quite a view. Even though the hotel seemed full, it was exceptionally quiet. All the staff were way above average in friendliness. I wouldn't change a thing.
