We were first attracted to the Adventure Inn by the wildlife themes of their rooms, pictured on their website. With our first stay there, we found comfortable beds (very important to us), a clean room, good coffee and pastries in the morning (also important to us), and a very friendly management. As a bonus, we found the folks at Adventure... more

Perfect!

We stayed at the Adventure Inn after our trip into the BWCA. After being soaked and cold, the comforts at the Inn were perfect. The comfy beds with down blankets and pillows were just what we needed. And the rooms were spotless. Great coffee, very accommodating staff and the owners made sure we were comfortable. When we return to the... more

NOT PET FRIENDLY!!! The walls of the hotel were paper thin and our dogs could hear everything going on next door. When they heard something, they'd bark (like most normal dogs would). We left the dogs at the hotel while we went to a rehearsal dinner and the dogs apparently barked while we were gone. The people at the hotel... more

We are a pet friendly place and have dogs stay with us in selected rooms. Our policy states that no dogs are to be left unattended in our rooms. These 2 dogs were left both nights unattended in one dog crate. They barked incessantly and our guests were very unhappy. The first night we called them and they did not...

In my opinion this is not the place to stay...stay in a tent or you car if need be. The room was dirty - the carpet was very stained and the bathtub moldy and had hairs from previous guests. Another friend stayed at the Canoe On Inn and said was a much better bang for your buck and another stayed... more

The room that they stayed in is in our older economy building. It is only used in the summer months and has new beds, bedding, but the room is smaller, and the bathroom is dated. However, it is priced very economical and these rooms are quite popular with our guests on a budget. We do clean them thoroughly. This room...

The rooms were nice with TV,microwave,refrigerator and 2 sinks. Staff was great, we were up at 6 both stays and coffee and breakfast was waiting for... more

I have stayed here twice now and the new owners are making a difference - the rooms are clean and bright and look really nice - it does not have a lot of amenities, but there is a small continental breakfast consisting of coffee and rolls - I think they should at least add juice or milk for the kids,... more

I'm rating this property a 2 only because the owner was so friendly and accomodating. But the rooms in the older section need to be avoided at all costs. My room holds the record for the smallest I have ever seen (approx 8x10). There was no phone, no plastic cups, no ice bucket and no ice. Paper-thin walls prevented me... more

my apologizes to that guest. We are new owners and took over the Inn on January of 2006. The room is small but is offered with a much lower price and now rather cute. Guests actually request the tiny room.

I stayed at the Adventure Inn during the last week of July 2004. Almost all of the rooms had been recently remodeled and were spotless and I mean SPOTLESS. New Carpet, fresh paint, and home made comforters and window toppers. Each room had an outdoor theme. There were different prices for different size rooms, not a one size/one price fits... more
