Frommer's Review

This inn has the feel of a wilderness lodge. It sits on 160 acres of unspoiled forest looking out on its own airstrip where a plane waits to take guests out to fish in even more remote spots. The buildings are quirky and charming, with log beams, strange angles, and an authentically rough-hewn look. Guests make no sacrifices in comfort, however; each of the five rooms and five cabins has its own bathroom, and there is ample room to relax and while away the day if you stay home from activities. Meals are ample, with two main courses offered at the evening, family-style service. As at other Gustavus inns, bicycles and rides in the van are free, but most activities off the property are paid for separately.

Facilities:
Free bike loans; activities desk; courtesy van; coin-op laundry; fish cleaning/freezing; Internet access

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
