We have visited Surfside 4 times in the last four years and have not been disappointed yet. The ambiance of the Master Suite is wonderful. The decor makes it look brand new each time we arrive. Our rooms have always been spotlessly clean and the staff are all very kind and helpful. The grounds are also neat and clean. There... More

We stayed three nights here with a spring special that they offered. It was pure luxury to us. We stayed in the Master Suite which is on the lower level of the complex. You have to take a full flight of stairs down to get to the unit so it is definitely not handicap accessible. We faced the lake and... More

Wow! This place was really something. I stayed here on a weekend trip away with my husband. We decided to pamper ourselves and just relax in our room after a day of skiing. The room was gorgeous! Everything looked practically brand-new. Even more gorgeous was the view- we woke up to the most beautiful sunrise over Lake Superior!

We choose Surfside because we had heard that their accommodations were the best on the North Shore. We had been here previously for a massage at the spa and could not wait to return. The rooms were well designed a extremely comfortable. The activities available through Bluefin Bay are challenging and entertaining. This was a great experience that we cannot... More

This was our third time renting one of the Surfside Condos. The unit was clean, well organized and ideal for our multi-generations family. The few small issues we ran into were handled quickly and without hesitation. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, although we have learned to bring a number of items that are missing (blender). Great views of the... More

We have stayed here a few times and have always enjoyed our stay. The place is beautiful with a woodsy charm and excellent views of lake superior. It is near hiking, skiing, and wonderful restaurants.

We just love this place. We've been reluctant to write a review because we didn't want to share our secret. Obviously, we're not alone. We just completed our fifth visit, and we already have the sixth one booked. There are no finer views of Lake Superior. The architecture is superb - all purposefully designed to feature the "star of the... More

My family stayed at a three bedroom suite and loved it. There was enough space for all of us and we had great service. We went hiking on Eagle Mountain, cliff jumped at the Temperance River, ate at a restaurant at Lutsen Resort, visited Grand Marais, and enjoyed the bonfire at the resort. You can look out the window with... More

Our family of six stayed here at the end of August. We rented the three bedroom townhome. The facility was huge, plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. We liked having the lower level unit all to ourselves. The setting is very peaceful and if you are not refreshed and relaxed when you leave, that is your... More
