BnB Recommendations
Being a believer that good service should always be recognised, I thought it might be cool to give a quick review and recommendation for the b&b's the boy and I were fortunate enough to patronise during our all-too-brief honeymoon on the North Shore.
Should any of you or folks you know find yourselves along Lake Superior, I highly recommend you patronise any/all of the following:
Spirit of Gitche Gumee
6228 Highway 61
Silver Bay, MN 55614
http://www.gitchegumee.net/
A simple and modest little 4-bd B&B in the middle of nowhere on hwy 61. Ideal for peace and quiet but not for the demanding traveller. The beds are comfy, the showers clean and the daily fresh scones are the best I've ever had (seriously!).
Laurium Manor Inn
320 Tamarack St
Laurium, MI 49913
http://www.laurium.info/
A former mining boss' mansion turned into a gorgeous B&B. Guests can explore the whole house as all rooms are restored in turn-of-the-century grandeur. The full self-serve continental breakfast in the dining room (former ballroom?) was delicious.
Inn at Timber Cove
1319 Sanborn Ave
Ashland, WI 54806
http://www.innattimbercove.com/
A former farmhouse now converted into a B&B; this is located on a huge property with plenty of space for walking, berry and apple-picking (in season) and croquet! Evening dessert and breakfast tray is brought to your room but be warned, the hostess prepares enough to feed 6 grown adults!
