Eagle Harbor Lodgings

EAGLE HARBOR INN
(906) 289-4435

It's at the edge of the charming village of Eagle Harbor, with many ways to walk over quiet back streets to the beach, harbor, and lighthouse. And it's right next to the excellent, friendly Eagle Harbor Inn, a neighborhood gathering place and destination restaurant with a small bar and a beautiful dining room with panoramic view of the village and Mount Lookout.

LAKE BREEZE
(906) 289-4514; (612) 721-5891

The Lake Breeze Resort opened as a tea room in 1922.

Fans of old summer resorts will treasure this place, with its vintage fireside gathering room, old rustic furniture, and display cases of birchbark curios, rock samples, and local memorabilia. The porch and sun porch have wonderful views of Lake Superior's Eagle Harbor with its rocks and waves. 10 second-story rooms, simple and pleasant, freshened in the 1980s, have private baths. The $109/night 2nd-story rooms for two have lake views. The others are $85-$99. Reserve way ahead; many regulars return each year and their season can be short (mid-July til mid-August in 2010). The Eagle Harbor lighthouse and natural area are two doors down. Phone in office. Not air-conditioned. No TV. Morning coffee provided. Two restaurants in walking distance. As a warehouse in the 1860s, this building handled outgoing copper and timber and incoming household goods. In 1922-23 the building was remodeled into a summer hotel and tearoom. Today it's been run by four generations of the Raley family.
