“My favorite North Shore lodging!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We've stayed here plenty of times and love it! We always stay in a Studio with Jacuzzi, and usually in the winter. My only complaint is with the guests who stay in the Studio with Loft - they always bring their kids, and the kids always stay in the loft, which is right above the Studios with Jacuzzis. We have trouble with this nearly every time we stay. The walls don't seem to be too thin, but the ceiling is another story. Other than that, no complaints! Cozy, relaxing (especially when the neighbors go into town), wonderful view of the lake. We've stayed in the summer only once, and we cracked the window to listen to the waves at night. The pull out bed is great, you would never even know it folds up. The firewood is plentiful and free, although not always dry. The kitchen is fully stocked, just as they say. If you can't find something in the kitchen (like a cookie sheet), just ask, they might be able to deliver it. Can't say enough good things about this place!

Room Tip: If you are bothered by neighbors, get a top floor room. The corner units have an extra window, if I...

“Much More Than We Expected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My Wife and I spent 2 nights at Bluefin for a short "Babymoon" vacation. It was exactly what we were looking for. We stayed in a Superior Suite and really enjoyed the room. Technically there was two rooms. The "Master Bedroom" had a King Size bed, whirlpool and wood burning fireplace and the second room was a simple second bedroom with a double bed. We used the whirlpool both nights and had a fire going nearly the whole night. We could hear the waves crashing on the rocks below us both nights. The highlight for me was the heated ceramic tile (in the bathroom and even around the whirlpool) to keep your feet warm. The room was very clean and overall very nice. We utilized both restaurants on site for dine in as well as room delivery. We had a couples massage at Waves of Superior Spa. The front desk was very helpful in recommending a hiking trail and provided Yak Tracks, they would have provided snowshoes, but not enough snow. I was very surprised at all of the free rental equipment they offer, snowshoes, cross country skis, ice skates and more... We had a very positive experience and would recommend this place to our friends and family. We hope to be back ourselves!

“Fantastic and Relaxing Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This was our second visit to Bluefin Bay and it was romantic and quiet- just what we were looking for. We stayed in a Superior One-bedroom condo with a wood burning fire place, a lakefront deck, a double jacuzzi...it was a fabulous. The outdoor hot tub and pool are my favorite, and the Bluefin Grille is a nice fine dining treat in the north woods. Plus on the weekends they have a outdoor fire where you can roast s'mores and enjoy the stars.

In the late fall and winter, it is quiet and relaxing, but I bet it's also a lot of fun with friends in the summer months.

Room Tip: The condos have it all. And it's worth the extra for fireplace, and lakefront porch or deck.

“Great for the right time of year”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

My wife and I just came back from here a few days ago, and even though we have been there before and it is a awesome place(one of the best on the north shore) we found out why they have the stay for 2 nights get one free deal.Nothing to do after two days there this time of year with no snow if your a snowmobiler or skier. The place itself is very nice for the area and the staff is very friendly but I would choose to cook your own food there or go somewhere else, if you have a kitchen since the resteruant is nothing special.All in all one of the better places on Lake superior to stay,just wait until summer!!

Room Tip: If you dont have a pet be sure to ask for a room that doesn't allow pets since half the rooms do...

“Want to go back!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011 via mobile

We had an excellent stay at Bluefin Bay! We were there over Labor Day weekend. Beautiful accommodations, scenery and weather. The Bluefin Grille was delicious and had wonderful service. The outdoor pool needs some updating but we didn't use it. We rented bikes, enjoyed the nightly bonfires, and explored the area cliffs. Highly recommend.
