Thimbleberry Inn B&B Reviews

Wonderful Retreat Thimbleberry Inn As I write this review, I am recalling what my husband and I value most in a bed and breakfast. Qaualities that come to mind are 1) beautiful setting, relatively close to things to do; 2) comfortable, clean and spacious rooms with a homey feel; 3) great and imaginative food at breakfast; 4) quiet location; 5) warm and comfortable feel with the hosts. Sharon and Craig Locey far surpassed these qualities in providing us with a wonderful stay at their inn. The inn is beautifully located right on Lake Superior, with a view of one of the Apostle Islands. Tall pines, birches, and maples surround the inn and provide opportunities to view the local wildlife (chipmunks, foxes, minks, eagles, etc.). Our room had a loft bedroom overlooking the lake, which welcomed the breeze coming off of the lake in the evenings. Sharon and Craig are authentic people who take a sincere interest in making sure their guests have a wonderful experience while visiting the lake. Craig is an avid sailor and provided us with a relaxing and fun half day sailing trip around some of the islands. If you just mention something you want to do, Sharon will have the reservations made for you in an instant, plus she will offer great suggestions if you are at a loss. Now for the really good part.....Sharon's expertise and creativity in the kitchen! Sharon made sure each day started right and ended well, beginning with excellent coffee and homemade muffins on our own personal adirondack loveseat overlooking the lake. This was followed by a scrumptious breakfast and great conversation with other guests. In the evenings, we made sure to save room for Sharon's nightly desserts (a variety of cookies and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate filled brownies that I can't get out of my mind). In a word, Sharon and Craig provided for us what was the best bed and breakfast experience we have ever had. Their warmth is genuine, they take care of you, they truly treat you like family. We will be back!
