I checked in late and they left a packet with my key out for me. I stayed in a studio with kitchenette and had everything I needed. The lakeside sauna was a nice bonus.

Room was clean and comfortable. Sauna was fun. More lights on walkway would be great, and a safety bar in the shower. Bed, too was awesome. And, I loved the table and chairs in the room.

This is an old resort but typical for the area. The room was comfortable but electric outlets were not accessible, shade didn’t come down all the way (would be nice to have top down shade for lake view without being on display), paper thin walls (but people were reasonably quiet). Nice to have fridge and microwave. Staff were friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our trip to Thomsonite was very good. There are only one recommendation we have for Room #11. Please add some lighting, either above the coffee pot and fridge, or add some lighting to the table/chairs "eating" area. It was very cloudy and rainy most of the weekend and when we were eating breakfast, making coffee, or playing a game, we wished there was more lighting available. We ended up moving the lamp between the two comfy chairs but then we'd need to move it back. M&M

Great location with beautiful views of the lake. We stayed in one of their newly renovated rooms and found it to be cozy, quaint and comfortable- which was perfect in a spring blizzard! The lakeside sauna was perfect for a relaxing evening.

Perfect spot just outside of Grand Marais

The location was excellent - just outside of Grand Marais and close to lots of hiking trails. We loved the sauna and the peaceful lakefront property. A great find!

It is a perfect escape and pivot point between Grand Marais and Lutsen skiing. Only used the sauna once, but it was a great amenity. Kitchen fully fitted out for making meals. Decor was just right.
