Beautiful area but ski trail grooming is spotty.
Our experience this past weekend was memorable. Great, nicely groomed XC trails, and plenty of separate trails for snowshoeing. Andy and his cook Augie do a great job, bending over backwards to make it a good experience. We happened to be there when >30 others were there; all were very nice. On Saturday, the Duluth musician got everyone dancing the conga line around the lodge. :) It also was our family's first polar plunge experience. Very positive weekend for us. Keep in mind that you'll have a short outside walk to the bathroom in the shower house; the rustic cabins are cozy, but don't have running water. :)
My family of 4 (2 parents , 2 young adult children ) stayed for 2 nights late February 2016. We had an awesome time. We were greeted warmly by Andy , the owner, and he made our stay very enjoyable. He was a gracious friendly host. The facilities were as described - rustic classic Minnesota North Woods, very comfortable for our needs and wants. It was an excellent combination of privacy in our cabin with easy access to the enjoyable group experience in the lodge with eating and socializing. The ski trials were incredible, excellent grooming, easy access, great variety. The sauna, polar plunge and hot tub were invigorating and the snow shoe trails very enjoyable. Wish I had a fat bike to join the other bikers heading out this AM! My daughter said to me "you found your people" - others who love the outdoors and , love a camp / lodge type experience ! I don't think there is much else like the National Forest Lodge!
What a great place to spend weekends with friends! Our Meetup group has been to the NFL several times in recent years. We have enjoyed the lodge, food, XC Skiing, sauna, polar plunge, heated pool, Augie's cooking, and Andy's company! We are looking forward to our next visit!
We stayed at the Superior Log Home Getaway. What an awesome lod home located in an area that is very private and peaceful. Our family enjoyed fishing, canoeing, campfires and time without electronics in the kids hands 24/7. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get away from it all. Perfect place to relax.
