"The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. The bed was comfortable and I loved all the pillows. They also allow pets for a fee. Breakfast buffet was nice and who doesn’t love waffles. There was a towel left behind from the previous guest behind the bathroom door but we just got some fresh ones from the desk. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Beautiful area."

10/10 Excellent
"Very charming well-cared for hotel with lake view scenery. The rooms were spotless. The hotel has VCR's in each room with a library of fun VHS tape movies to bring to your room and watch, should you desire a little TV time. There are nearby walking paths and the hotel is about a 15 minute drive to Alpha or Iron River. Both Alpha and Iron River have one of a kind pubs and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation. They do serve a continental breakfast at 7 am. We were up much earlier than that and out the door, so we didn't experience the breakfast. They do have vending machines and ice. The rooms do "not" have coffee pots and coffee is not served until 7 am, so if you want coffee prior to that, then you have to bring your own travel pot or there is a coffee shop in Iron River/Gas stations as well that serve coffee. Our stay was perfect. The staff was wonderful. We support local small business. This place checks all the boxes."

Charming 2-bedroom cabin with WiFi on beautiful Patten Lake

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was perfect. Beautiful inside and out. Cleanest place I have ever stayed in. The lake was gorgeous with the colors. Very well stocked. The 4 seasons room and huge deck were so nice to sit back and enjoy the views. The fireplace inside is beautiful and warm on those chilly mornings. Very quiet and private. Our Goldendoodle felt very comfortable here. This cabin makes you feel like you belong there and you never want to leave (which we didn’t want to). The pictures and history of the cabin were very interesting. We are definitely thinking about booking for next year already. Thanks for a beautiful place to get away from it all."
