Minnesota’s North Shore offers stunning Lake Superior views, state parks for exploring, and charming small towns. It is an ideal destination for those looking to relax and recharge. Or adventure and explore. While this region is known for its natural beauty, it's also home to a variety of lodging options that can fit any budget. To make your stay even more appealing, many North Shore lodging properties offer specials that let you unwind and save.
Specials are as unique as the accommodation. Resorts may offer packages that include guided activities and/or include dining. For instance, Waterfall Weekends that include guided hikes to roaring waterfalls, coffee and pastries and boxed lunches. Cabins on inland lakes may include use of boats and motors for fishing and exploring. Hotels deals can include senior, military and AAA discounts. Every property has an occasional last-minute vacancy, too. So if you’re spur-of-the-moment, check for offers before you book.
A popular special and great way to extend your vacation is the multi-night discount. These lodging deals include “3rd Night Free” and discounted 4-7 night stays. Along this line, you will also find Midweek Lodging Specials for Sunday through Thursday nights throughout the year, except peak season and holidays. Families or group gatherings can take advantage of get-togethers and reunions while enjoying savings.
Seasonal offers are ideal if you prefer a quieter getaway without peak season crowds. On the North Shore, shoulder season is spring (mid-April to mid-June) and late autumn (late October to Christmas). Quiet doesn’t mean boring! Waterfall enthusiasts, hikers, and fishermen can get outside and hook a good spring lodging deal at the same time. Late autumn is wave season. Nor’easters (winds from the northeast) roll down Lake Superior making for phenomenal wave watching. Look for a lakeside property with rooms with a fireplace for an ideal pre-winter cozy getaway. And small town holiday craft shows, bazaars and festivals typically occur between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
From Christmas through mid-April, resorts and lodges offer ski packages. Hundreds of kilometers of cross-country ski trails weave through the woods making for days of skiing bliss. Lutsen Mountains is the Midwest’s only mountain ski experience. Skiers can get multi-day ski-and-stay packages.
The North Shore of Minnesota is a spectacular destination for relaxation and adventure, and with these special lodging deals, you can enjoy all it has to offer while saving money. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a group adventure, there's a deal that will suit your needs and budget.
