Everything was great. Small town motel, but perfect for what we needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Perfect size house for our family. Nice location to Brule. Ample parking for multiple cars. Hot tub was lovely at the end of the day. We would rebook here again.

We enjoyed our second stay here. The home is spacious and a beautiful location. The kitchen had everything that we needed along with enough toiletries for the weekend. The only downfall for the winter months is the very steep winding driveway. You can either park at the top of the hill by the road ...

Iron River is a rundown impoverished Rust Belt village. Surrounding countryside is beautiful but the town itself has absolutely nothing to offer but sadness and depression.
We found most of the businesses on what seemed to be the main street in town, closed, on a Sat night. We went to a sketchy loud bar for a burger and cocktail. Patrons stated theyd been drinking since 10;30am. This was about 7pm. Food was good tho.
We didn't spend a whole lot of time in Iron River. What we did see we liked. Maybe next time we come. We did go to Crystal Falls where my daughter and her Fiance' bought a house. We did go down the Painted River Kayaking which was so much fun.
We ate at Riverside Pizzeria the first night and the pizza was awesome. The second night we ate at the Outer Limits Bar and Grill. Their fish was truly out-of-this-world! I can't stop thinking about the Cod tenderloin with the best breading!
Just your average smaller town plenty of restaurants which is nice.
