It has everything we want for a North Shore experience...right on Lake Superior, great location near the best hiking and golf and a good restaurant. It's our "go-to" place on the North Shore. more

We stayed at the resort for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The resort is on the shores of the Lake. The unit was well maintained and equipped. We used and had fun in both the indoor and outdoor pool & jacuzzi. Our 4 year old son loved all the exploration on the rocks and the pebble beach on... more

We have stayed at Bluefin Bay several times and have always enjoyed our visits. We most recently visited in mid-August 2010, and for the first time brought our daughter and her S.O., both 23, to experience the delights of the North Shore. We had a dockside guest room (17B), and while it was small, the fact that it had two... more

I feel like if i were to type out everything that went wrong during our stay i would sound like an over critical crazy person. I'll start out by saying we had pretty high expectations, the resort was higly recommended. We made our reservation weeks, maybe a month or so ago. OUr room was a bit of a let down,... more

Went there for a long Valentine's weekend. The condo was fantastic with unbelievable views of Lake Superior. Even though it was February, we just had to have the door to the deck cracked open to hear the waves crashing against the rocks. Loved having the wood-burning fireplace! Dining at the Bluefin Grille --- Between the views of the lake being... more

The website of this hotel is very well designed and gives the impression of grand rooms. However, sadly, that is not the case. The rooms are horribly outdated- we stayed in a 3 bedroom townhome - paid about 450/night. The jacuzzi upstairs and downstairs both have a window with these awkward shades that you bring down- it's completely tacky. In... more

Hello, The accommodations at Bluefin Bay are owned as condominiums by individual owners, each of which has some say over how unit interiors are decorated. Over the years this led to inconsistency in the design and condition the units. in 2009 68% of our guests rated the condition of our unit interiors as "excellent" and another 27% rated them as...

My husband and I just returned from 4 days at Bluefin Bay. It's been 7-8 years since we've stayed there, and things haven't changed very much... which is good and bad…..still a great location, but there is more competition on the North Shore nowadays and Bluefin no longer feels quite as “unique” as I remember. This resort caters to vacationing... more

We stayed the 4th of July weekend 2009, in a “Studio with jucuzzi”. We were surprised to learn that some of the units were, “pet friendly”, including the one that we stayed in. The unit was impeccably clean and modern. We were also able to pull in a relatively strong wireless WiFi signal from our unit –which was very important... more

Our family had a blast at Bluefin Bay. We stayed in a nicely appointed 3 bedroom town house (Unit number 8). The condo is less than 25 feet from the water!!! We were fortunate to see the incredible waves one day and glass water the next. Our children loved the indoor pool, guided hikes, and friendly staff... more
