Unique cozy getaway right off lake superior. Dog friendly, and wonderful, nice owners. We stayed at the loons nest which is on the 2nd floor and had a lake view. It was decorated with care, bed was comfortable with a clean fresh scent, and it had cups and plates and some ice in the freezer for our use. Both our toddler and large dog were very comfortable in the space. The breakfast of pancakes and omelets were amazing (and vegetarian friendly!) There is a parking lot in the back as well for easy parking. Very welcoming owners and place.

We stayed 3 nights in 2 rooms. The rooms are all unique and all have amazing views of Lake Superior! We had to extend our stay and Julie and Butch were totally accommodating. Butch makes a tasty breakfast and delivers it to your room! We will stay here again, loved it!!

My husband and I went here for a quick birthday getaway this February and had the best time. Our room was so cozy and cute. Butch made us the most delicious breakfast and we left feeling like family.

The new owners Reilly and Britany Brennan are so accommodating and approachable. They are surely going to carry on the legacy Butch and Julie created 36 years ago. Reilly and Britany are dedicated to cleanliness, and were available to answer any questions we had during our 4 nights in the 3 Bears Cabin. They suggested new restaurants, hikes, sights, and were open to improvements and suggestions for the Inn. They were welcoming to our two dogs, and the cabin was perfect as always. If you are a legacy guest and worried about new ownership, don't give it another thought! You’ll be in great hands!

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.

Just had another nice stay at The Inn on Gitche Gumee! We love this place and it has become our go to place to stay on Lake Superior. Each room is unique with great views of the lake and outdoor decks to enjoy, all on lovely grounds full of perennials. The rooms are immaculately clean and hosts Reilly and Britney are super friendly and helpful! We're looking forward to coming back!

The Inn on Scenic Hwy. 61 on the Lake Superior Northshore is a true gem. Owners Reilly and Brittany were very thoughtful and accommodating. Thanks for the beautiful fresh flowers in our room! The nicely manicured landscape abounds with beautiful annuals and perennials. There is plenty of space to sit and enjoy the beauty of the lake. Location is great! You are close to Duluth and only 20 minutes from Two Harbors. Thank you for a very enjoyable weekend.

My wife and I stayed for our honeymoon here. The room was beautiful and quirky. We checked in one week after the inn was purchased by new owners who are a wonderful couple just like the previous owners. They did a wonderful job making our stay pleasant and even gifted us a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate. The view out of the loon's nest is amazing. We will definitely be coming back to celebrate our anniversary in years to come.

Awesome new owners , kind and caring . They go the extra mile to make sure everything is great for your stay . Highly recommend , we stayed in the wolf lodge , cutest ever and a fireplace too! 5 stars and wishing you the best of luck on your beautiful new adventure in Duluth 🤗

My family and I stayed in the Great Lake Suite for 3 nights. I was a great choice. We enjoyed the great views of Lake Superior. The Inn is close to downtown Duluth but far enough away to enjoy nature. Butch and Julie are very welcoming. Butch even made sure we had breakfast to-go on our last day.

Super nice location. Just 15-20 minutes from downtown Duluth off of the Scenic Highway, basically in between Two Harbors & Duluth, making it super easy to jump on the highway and spend a day sightseeing, in either direction. Julie and Butch, the owners, are the nicest people around. They take care of the cabins like they are their own homes. One of the days Butch makes a breakfast for all in the cabin and is an excellent cook! This has been our 2nd time up and look forward to coming back again!

My husband and I stayed in the Hideaway and could not have been more pleased. We loved the rustic decor, and the jacuzzi tub was just what we needed after a long day of hiking. The location of the Inn was perfect and was incredibly peaceful. The new owners were more than accommodating and were very easy to work with. We are excited to see what new things they have in store for the Inn. We will definitely be coming back!

We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary-so blessed to be able to enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Superior. It rained off and on during our stay, but did not dampen our time. The first day there we were greeted with a double rainbow, right on the lake close to our room. For us it represented evidence of God's love and faithfulness through out "40" years of marriage. Stayed in the Dream Catcher suite, the view out three windows was awesome. The bed was comfy and we loved having the fireplace on a chilly night. We visited some our favorite spots along the lake including Gooseberry falls. Top the day off with a delicious beef pastie from Betty's Pies Restaurant and a piece of pie ala mode. Recommend the Great lakes Crunch! We were greeted by the new owner Reilly, when we first arrived, throughout our stay he was there to make sure we were accommodated. He is an amazing host and sure to make your visit at Gitche Gumee as enjoyable as the scenery! Also loved his heart and vision he has to bring the hotel to a new level, we hope to get back sometime next year to see what he accomplishes !

Awesome place... breakfast is outstanding....the couple that run it are AWESOME 😎👍😎 service is beyond... Great location...the lake superior is so close n the ships are on the lake front views

I have stayed here a couple of times. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The rooms are so.much better than just staying in a hotel. They are very homey, and decorated beautifully. The omelets and pancakes that we received were very good. The views also were excellent

Breakfast and a beautiful sunrise. A great way to start the day. The hosts, Butch and Julie, are gracious and friendly

Gem of a find with gorgeous views of Lake Superior. Cozy rooms with kitchenettes. Easy drive to Duluth proper (15 minutes) for Canal Park, etc.

It was a beautiful view. The place was very clean and charming. The breakfast was great. The location was close enough to get to town quick but we had a quiet view.

We had a whirlpool sweet; We had other outings we were there for 3 days. We didn't realize the Whirlpool didn't work our first day The second day when we tried it it ran for a little while then quit. We drained it, then an hour later it started up on its own empty. It was late and we called the desk to report it, they said they could send somebody up but we declined because of the hour. They said they could have somebody come up in the morning but we were checking out then never mind. They offered to reimburse us $50, but I haven't seen it yet.

Lake views and fantastic character to the whole place. The garden and lawn is enchanting. Everything was comfortable and friendly and peaceful- great service. Breakfast served was the best omelette I've had in years. Thanks for caring about the details, Butch and Julie. I'll be back.
