I have stayed at Bluefin Bay many, many times over the last 12 years as well as other places along both the north and south shore of Lake Superior, and Bluefin Bay continues to top them all when it comes to proximity to the water and those amazing views. While the lake itself is mesmerizing, I always appreciate the open,... more

We stayed in a one bedroom condo with a stay for 3, pay for 2 night special. Our condo was very clean and very up to date - granite countertops, new decor, newer appliances, all kinds of dishes available etc. I also loved the very large kitchen table - perfect for games and meals. The dishwasher was also nice to... more

My wife and I have stayed at this resort roughly 7 times over the past 15 years- so it is fair to say we are overall pleased with it. It is in a great location if you like all of the outdoor activities this area has to offer. We always stay in a one bedroom condo and we always go... more

We are a family of 5 (three adult children and parents) who started a new tradition last year of getting out of the Cities to enjoy a safe and relaxing New Year's holiday. This year we decided to stay at Bluefin Bay after hearing so much hype for so many years. We booked a three bedroom unit at a hefty... more

I just don't get this place. We made reservations the first time about 6 years ago....and our first time up the North Shore. We had been driving 6 plus hours after a very long week and just wanted to get there. Our room was #1) smelt terribly of offensive cleaning products they use (I love a clean place, this was... more

Beautiful view of Lake Superior! The room had a double jacuzzi, 2 bedrooms and a loft. Try the bloody mary drink at the grill. It is excellent. We went as part of Lutsen ski & stay package. Otherwise, this place would be out of our price range. more

Have stayed here many times over the years, the most recent in August 2008 after a 2 year absence. We stayed this time in a "Superior one bedroom", on the main level and the older side of the resort. Excellent view from there. I read a couple of other reviews about people being switched to different room / room types... more

Bluefin Bay is a beautiful resort. We stayed in a studio room and had an amazing view of Lake Superior. We especially like the free bike rental-- to ride the trails. We spent the extra money to go on a sailboat ride too-- which was worth the $$. I am being picky here... but had a few minor complaints... there... more

We spent an amazing weekend at Bluefin Bay. We opted for the romantic package and a Studio with a Jacuzzi. The romantic package is basically a gift card for the restaurant and a bottle of champagne and is a very good deal. They have a military discount too. We arrived Friday evening and had a really great dinner at the... more

It has been 16 years. We go up to Bluefin Bay every summer for a week. We stay in a One Bedroom Unit. There is many different kinds of style and types of units. The One bedroom has a queen size bed, fully stocked kitchen, jacuzzi in the bathroom, fireplace, dining room, and a awesome view. It does cost a... more
