5/5 Kathy C. 2 years ago on Google
was
in
Duluth
to
visit
family
and
had
a
marvelous
stay
at
The
inn
on
Gitche
Gumee.
The
weather
was
cold
and
the
ice
far
too
thick
for
a
girl
from
the
South.
But
inside,
all
was
inviting
and
cozy.
Being
kind
of
a
girly
girl
more
frequently
leaning
toward
Victorian
type
lodging,
I
was
anxious
to
experience
a
piece
of
the
outdoors.
My
room
was
the
Loon's
Nest.
It
was
quaint
and
Beautiful.
I
daily
enjoyed
the
fresh
flowers
on
the
table
by
a
window
looking
out
over
Lake
Superior,
it
was
a
perfect
setting
to
sip
a
cup
of
tea
and
plan
theday,
or
to
imagine
the
beauty
of
what
the
numerous
flower
gardens
would
look
like
in
a
few
months
time.
I
could
imagine
an
author
looking
over
the
waves
on
that
Great
Lake
and
writing
about
the
perils
of
sea
travel
in
times
gone
by.
Deer
frequent
the
yard
daily
as
Butch
makes
sure
they
are
fed.
The
inn
keepers,
Butch
and
Julie
Sievert,
are
as
welcoming
and
friendly
as
any
you
will
find
anywhere.
The
Inn
is
immaculate.
Guests
want
for
nothing,
Butch
Sievert
gets
up
at
daybreak
to
make
breakfast
for
his
guests
and
they
are
delightful,
I
love
the
pancakes.
in
full
disclosure,
Butch's
mother
was
my
Mother's
sister.
That
being
said,
I
would
not
change
my
review
one
iota.
I
hadn't
seen
my
cousin
for
over
20
years.
We
are
both
older
and
slower,
our
wits
are
not.
Butch
has
had
a
multifaceted
career
but
seems
to
have
found
his
calling
as
an
innkeeper.
His
beautiful
Julie,
as
sweet
as
she
is
she
is
a
driving
force
behind
all
the
niceties
off
the
Inn
and
it's
function
as
a
whole.
With
their
vision
and
creativity
they
have
built
a
masterpiece.
I
will
be
back
to
see
the
flowers
blooming
and
feel
the
warm
wind
off
the
lake.
I
will
count
the
days.
