Frommer's Review

This inn has more of 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 inn has its own charter fishing boat, too). 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 the day's 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; activity desk; courtesy van; laundry; fish cleaning/freezing; Internet access in common room
