Poplar River Condos

10/10 Excellent
"We had one of the Lake View units and it was clean, private and comfortable with the fireplace and a nice deck overlooking the lake. The jetted tub was a plus as was the provided Caribou Coffee. Was a good home base for our daytime explorations with lots to see and visit along the North Shore all the way to Grand Portage. Will definitely consider staying there again next time we're up that way."
