I was looking for a relaxing environment to relax and reenergize and decided to try the Blue Fin after hearing so many great reviews. The service was exceptional, the environment beautiful, and the amenities perfect. And they are pet friendly! In addition to relaxing on my deck listening to the waves crash against the rocks, I participated in a nature... More

My husband & I were looking for a nice, relaxing, romantic weekend away so after reading the reviews on bluefin we couldn't say no. I'm glad we stayed here. The resort is huge! When we pulled up I was worried due to the size it might be over run with families and hind the "romance". Not so...there were families, there... More

We were looking for a nice getaway for the weekend, and we found Bluefin was offering pay 2 nights get 1 free. We did a Grand Superior 1 bedroom which was very nice and spacious. Furniture is pretty outdated, and not very comfortable. We stayed in unit 65A, and fireplace glass was missing a piece so it would be completely... More

Thanks for your comments about Bluefin unit 65A. All Bluefin units are in the third year of a four year process of being remodeled and refurnished. Unit 65A received all new stainless steel appliances last week shortly after your departure. New living room furniture is on order and will be in place within a couple weeks. I apologize for the...

Treat yourselves to Bluefin Bay and, if your experience is anything like that of my wife and myself, it will be stored in your treasure chest of precious memories! This was our first visit to Minnesota, and I chose Bluefin Bay because of some good reviews on the internet. They were SO RIGHT. We chose the Romance Package, and between... More

We have been going to bluefin for over 10 years and it is always a memorable time. We have had our family of 8 there every year, but never feel cramped. We always go on the 11 mile bike ride called heartbreak hill that they shuttle you up to. We also go kayaking every year and the guide is friendly... More

The resort is pretty and the rooms are romantic. They have great views of the lake and they offer great specials throughout the year. The outdoor pool is awesome in the winter! More

My husband and I have been coming to Bluefin Bay for about 10 yrs. now. It is a great place to relax and re-connect with your spouse. We always get a unit with a kitchen because we enjoy preparing our own meals while we stay there. The waves were unbelievable when we were there in April . The lake is... More

Had a very nice stay at Bluefin Bay in late March. Weather was lousy, but it was a 2-day anniversary getaway anyway, so we were happy snuggled up by the fireplace (wood not gas) and watching the waves crash on the shore. Highly recommend it and on-site Grille restaurant. Breakfast at Coho Cafe was so-so, but OK. Grand Marais is... More

Our stay at Bluefin Bay was very enjoyable. The facilities are good. We stayed in a two bedroom "suite" which was really the top floor of a two bedroom condo that had been split into an upstairs unit and a downstairs unit. We had two snug bedrooms with a small bathroom sandwiched in between. Below us, the unit had the... More

Our stay at Bluefin Bay was very nice. The view of Lake Superior from our living room, deck and bathroom (two person whirlpool) was beautiful. Bluefin has both indoor and outdoor swimming pools and hot tub facilities. The outdoor pools are open year round. It was so refreshing to swim outdoors during a season that normally would not allow for... More
