We stayed at the Rock Island Lodge for 3 nights with a group which included a small child. The beach was fantastic as were the views from the deck. The service and staff were fantastic. We had great group meals with some of the other guests which was fun. My only complaint would be that we ordered a fish dinner... More

There is no place better to stay on Lake Superior. If you are a an avid kayaker or canoeist, or even if you are just visiting the area I highly recomend Rock Island Lodge. The views from the lodge are abosolutely stunning. The high cliffs of superior mirrored by the cold depths off Lake Superior is almost indescribable. The bay... More

My husband & I stayed in the Patterson suite while my sister & brother stayed in the main building. Both were well appointed & clean but I preferred the Patterson suite for the privacy. The lodge has an amazing location with spectacular views! Dave, the owner has an amazing staff that are welcoming and helpful. The lodge offers many sports... More

My Brazilian friend and I were passing through Wawa, braced for yet another highway hotel when someone suggested we check this place out. Words cannot describe the relief and thrill on discovering this amazing place. The location is breathtaking, the staff very warm and welcoming, the accommodations beyond anything we could have hoped for. We wined, dined, paddled, chatted, and... More

If you are a Great Lake Sea Kayaker, this place should be on your "bucket list". My two buddies and I finished our Superior trip (August of 2010) with an overnight stay at this fantastic lodge. The lodge is a base for sea kayaking trips on Lake Superior. Even if you do not sea kayak, the location of this lodge... More

The staff is great. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The views are georgous, especially during storm season. If you are looking for a place to relax and get away, this is it. The rooms are a little on the rustic side, not a 5 star hotel, but the location more than makes up for it. I would definately return here... More

We stayed overnight here at the start of our kayak journey along the shores of Lake Superior Provincial Park. The staff were courteous, helpful and friendly. Dave sat with me to give me tips and information about highlights of the park, which were very helpful. The room was clean. There was no TV, which only added to the charm of... More

Stayed here with our two young daughters and loved it. Position is truly beautiful and it is such a quiet location. This is not a 5 star resort nor does it pretend to be. If you expect basic accomodation in a beautiful position, with helpful, relaxed staff, then you will be very happy here. We stayed in the Patterson room... More
