Close to Duluth yet escape the city. Location on Old 61 puts you close by many other outdoor attractions. The location is across the road from Lake Superior but don't let that bother you if you want to be near Duluth. Most locations on 61 are across the road from the lake. If you want to be on the lake,... More

Initial impression of our group was, what is this place? But after enjoying the creativity of the owners, who made much of the furniture and fixtures in the rooms, and after enjoying the delicious breakfast and marveling at the flowers, waterfall and gardens in front of our cabin, we give it a high rating. You will enjoy it.

My daughter and I stayed in the Wolves Den the weekend of September 9-11 while playing in a hockey tournament in Duluth. We absolutely loved it - I only wish we had more time to explore the beautiful landscaping on the property, but with the rigorous hockey game schedule we were mainly there to sleep. The room had a table... More

I really WANTED to be charmed by this place--after all, it's got the hand-stitched quilts and actual birch tree bedframe. Really "northwoods", right? And I could forgive the slow-draining tub, the stained carpet and the lack of any functional place to hang my clothes (certainly not in the closet with an oversized birch tree limb as the single dowel--no hangers...

I'll just quickly breakdown the pros/cons of our stay: Pros: nice view, kitchen/dining area, nice touches like fresh flowers on the table, breakfast made by the owner, queen bed and queen sleeper sofa, away from the downtown hustle, quiet Cons: bed was uncomfortable, toilet always needed to be flushed twice, faucet leaked, other finishing touches like trim needed to be...

The view was amazing -- right on the lake front. The people who own the place were extremely accomodating including making... More

We spent part of our Honeymoon with Butch and Julie. They are wonderful hosts; very friendly and acommodating. We enjoyed Duluth and the nearby restaurants. If you are lucky, you will get Butch's famous breakfast served to your room. The first time we stayed we had the Wolves Den on the second floor, very comfy and cozy. The second time,... More

We had a wonderful stay here! The rooms are excellent, nice and cozy and they had everything we needed. We had a room with a kitchen and it was well equipped for simple cooking. Beautiful views and nice decks to enjoy the view from. The owners Julie and Butch provided wonderful service. It shows how much they care through all... More

We had planned to stay somewhere else, but the Inn on Gitche Gumee caught our eye as we drove past. We made a U-turn to check it out. The innkeeper, Julie, was friendly and accommodating, even though we came without reservations two days before Thanksgiving! We decided to stay as soon as we saw the room - the Wolves' Den.... More
