We vacationed along the North Shore over Memorial Day weekend and decided to stay at the Outpost while we visited the northern part of the area. This hotel was an excellent value...great price, very clean, and in a quiet area. It's directly across the road from Lake Superior, so I got to watch a couple of beautiful sunrises and I... More

Grammy has been coming to visit her grandchildren and staying at the Outpost Motel for almost 12 years. After traveling 10 hours she gets to stay in a place of her own with a full kitchen and room for the kids. Now she is coming to visit her great grandchildren also and still staying at the Outpost. Out of town,... More

My sister and I stayed up here a few years ago and my Husband and I plan to come for our anniversary this year. This is a very clean place and very quiet and relaxing. My parent and sister have been there several times.

The price was right. Beautiful view of Lake Superior out the window! We traveled to 16 different states on our trip and this motel was very disappointing. The parking area was not paved. No air conditioning. (fan available). I am sure that they don't usually need one, but it was quite warm this year in that neck of the woods.... More

This motel is kind of like cornflakes. Nothing fancy, very simple but served it's purpose. I was in Grand Marais on business so I was out all day, returning only to spend the evening and night in the motel. It's like an old-fashioned motel from the 40's or 50's. The pictures on their website are true to what you get.... More

This the perfect place for us to stay on a North Shore trip. Single rooms are inexpensive, sparkling clean, very good beds, and they are happy to have us accompanied by our two Golden Retrievers. As we rarely spend time in the room other than to sleep those rooms suffice for us.However, be aware the singles are very small and... More

I stayed here twice in July, 1 1 night stay on a road trip around Lake Superior end of June and a 2nd time in July for 4 nights when the Mn State Parks were closed. Both times I was in a basic motel room with 1 queen bed. The room was the same as the room picture on the... More

We were looking for a quiet motel outside of Grand Marais and wanted a full kitchen. We were happy that we were able to book this motel for 2 days only. Many of the smaller "Mom and Pop" places will take only longer rentals in the busy summer season. The kitchen was fully equipped, the rooms were very clean and... More

The Outpost Motel is a little strip motel right on Hwy 61 just 8 miles east of Grand Marais. We stayed there the first time on the recommendation of some friends of ours. We have been back at least a half dozen times since then. The units are extremely clean and the facility is very well cared for. They have... More
