The Naniboujou Lodge & Restaurant

Food is the best you're going to find within 50 miles. Location is near unbeatable.

I didn’t stay here but stopped with hopes of lunch and went away with a couple of souvenirs….what a great historical building!

Spectacular lodge and grounds, but in dire need of new owners or management who will answer the phone or return email requests for reservations. Their cavalier behavior caused me to change my vacation destination from Minnesota to Michigan where most properties will respond to reservations requests.

A must visit if on north shore.

The artwork is incredible. Just that alone is worth the trip, not to mention the views, tranquility and atmosphere of Naniboujou really make this place special.
Kim is wonderful. What a gem of a human being!

A wonderful place to stop. We had lunch on the last day for this season. Excellent food and service. Also a beautiful place to just see

I really wanted to see the historic lodge and its beautiful art. We at dinner. The food was good but not fabulous. Sitting in the amazing lodge was wonderful. It was worth the cost to experience the lodge. The grounds by the lake were a nice bonus.

Food & drinks: We had looked forward to visiting and having lunch at the Naniboujou restaurant. The unique painting on the walls and ceiling along with an incredibly beautiful fireplace were worth seeing. However, the food was not at all what we hoped for. The fish of the day was supposedly walleye. We've eaten walleye many times in my different places. It often has a fishy taste and is a thick, meaty fish. What we were served was a thin white fish with absolutely no taste and absolutely not walleye. The "homemade" chips were some type of barbecue chip from a bag. The portions were extremely small. The ciabato bread was tasty. We felt ripped off and very disappointed. It will be our last visit to Naniboujou.

Friends & I had lunch there recently. Limited menu. The food was generally ok (I liked my BLT & my wife liked her chicken salad), tho friends were a bit underwhelmed. Wonderful building & grounds.

If you are coming here thinking you are coming to an indigenous historic place, you are WRONG! There is nothing Native American about this place, except using their name and their pictures.
If you read the history of the place from the documents located in the lodge itself, you’ll learn how this was supposed to be a club for privileged white Americans and then came under Missionaries.
This place is not for non-white, non- Christian people.
After specifying vegetarian dietary restriction (coz obviously specifying halal isn’t an option) and paying $700+ for a weekend, you’d think they’ll arrange it for 1 meal they had to, but no. For breakfast, one of our plates still had bacon when the card on our table clearly said “Vegetarian”, which we requested to replace. For dinner, we went and sat and kept waiting, everyone around us was getting food and even dessert but not us. They simply forgot our vegetarian meal(we saw the server freaking out and taking others to the kitchen) and when the food came 35-40 minutes later (when few people had already left), my husband got 4 small spring rolls(with meat in them) and I a burnt (no white part left) portobello mushroom that stunk.
They apologized for the delay (still not mentioning they forgot) and were sweet whenever they talked.
There is no WiFi or even any LTE signals in the area, so there isn’t much to do. There are 2 bibles on every room’s night stand.

Needless to say, not going back!

Terrible food. You have to make a reservation and they charge you ahead of time without telling you the price. Which makes sense when the check comes and you realize they've charged you $45 a plate for bad food. Don't let the building fool you into eating here.

Love this place. The food is fabulous, and so was the service. I will be returning soon

What a great place. The food was delicious. The staff is amazing and the room was perfect. Such a wonderful relaxing trip.

Rooms: Our room was huge. It was perfect. The only thing I would wish for is a small mini fridge.

Nearby activities: We visited the Casino down the road and did a trip to Canada.

Safety: I felt completely safe.

Walkability: The beach was great to walk on. Only a few steps from the lodge.

Food & drinks: Loved the cocktail hour before dinner.

Noteworthy details: The details in this lodge are amazing. Beautiful architecture. I did not miss TV or the internet. I bought a book. The games and puzzles were more than enough to keep our group entertained
