The Naniboujou Lodge & Restaurant occupies a vibrant landmark building once known as a 1920s gentlemen's club. This alcohol-free lodge offers basic, tech-free rooms that emphasize a simpler stay experience. Guests can enjoy the distinctive atmosphere along with a private beach on the shores of Lake Superior and an ornate on-site restaurant that reflects the property's historic character.
Set just off Route 61 and adjacent to the Brule River, the lodge is well placed for visitors interested in outdoor activities and local natural attractions. It lies approximately six miles from Judge C.R. Magney State Park, famous for the Devil's Kettle waterfall, making it a convenient base for hiking and exploring the surrounding wilderness.
Amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, free parking, accessibility features, and kid-friendly facilities. However, the lodge does not offer air conditioning, a fitness center, airport shuttle, or pet-friendly accommodations. The smoke-free environment caters to guests looking for a quieter, more traditional lodging option without many modern conveniences.
Guest reviews reflect a generally positive rating of 4.6 from 364 opinions, with appreciation for the unique setting and peaceful location. However, the property's simple rooms may appeal more to travelers prioritizing atmosphere and location over extensive amenities. Nearby hotels such as The Hungry Hippie Farm & Hostel and Outpost Motel provide alternative lodging options within a short drive.
