Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The lodge is in an incredible location with so much to do around it. It's a great place for a family, a couple, or even a solo vacation. The cabins are well-kept, as is the property, and the owners/operators are super people. They were very welcoming and responsive, and the communication was excellent. We will definitely be back.”
“Loon Lake Lodge provided our family with the perfect vacation on the Gunflint trail. The Shack was clean, comfortable, quiet and had spectacular views. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Their boat rentals were brand new and very affordable. Make sure to get their homemade pizzas and ice cream sandwiches - delicious! We will be back!”
“Nestled in the middle of the gunflint trail, this family owned + operated truly is an exceptional north woods experience. Perfect for a getaway day of boating, hiking, fishing, and canoeing. We especially adored the canoe-hike-bridal falls adventure. Honestly, a must do!! Maybe one day we’ll return to stay in the log homes.”
