We really liked the Thomsonite Beach Inn and Suites. We stayed in their most economical room and it was a great value for July 4th weekend. They have 3 fire pits and lots of free fire wood to use. One pit was literally on the rocks just above the water. We loved sitting in front of the fire, watching the waves come in, and staring up at the stars!

We stayed at Thomsonite Beach Inn & Suite for a 3 night getaway from the kids in August 2010. Our stay was wonderful, relaxing and just what we needed. The shore was amazing! I loved hearing the waves crash on the shore as I was laying down to go to sleep.

The room was neat and clean. We had our own kitchen unit and own little cabin. It was perfect.

As for location...it's just before Grand Marais. It was nice not to be in the middle of town but it was close enough to go for the day.

My husband and I stayed here during our Lake Superior Circle Tour by motorcycle. We did not know anything about the area and picked Thomsonite Beach Inn based on reviews. What a nice place! They have a great location on Lake Superior with a warm and welcoming facility. The room was comfortable and attractive. The bathroom could use a little work but overall was good. In a day when most hotels give you so little water pressure you have to stay in the shower twice as long as normal, we had to turn the flow down or risk losing our skin!

If we had known how nice Grand Marais is we would have stayed more than one night at this inn.

We have stayed at Thomsonite Beach Inn several times over the last 9 years. It is the the favorite spot of our family to stay on Lake Superior! We and our children have enjoyed every stay. We enjoy the secluded Thomsite rocky area where the kids and we can climb on the rocks or just sit and watch / listen as the waves crash against the rocks. A regular tradition has become an evening fire at the fire pit to roast marshmellows and just enjoy some family time. You can do the fire yourself or Scott will be glad to get it started for you if needed. Scott and Lee are great hosts! The units vary, are basic, rustic and well kept. Close by to many things to do like the hiking trails, Grand Marais harbor and shops. If you are looking for a getaway place, this is it!
