I’ve had the same from the ladies at church. It was decent but it wasn’t like you can’t find similar quality elsewhere.

Respectfully disagree. Unrelated but last year we stopped there on our way to Grand Marais and our server was a retired ISU employee.
Grand Marais, my kids always wanted Sven and Ole’s cause pizza and husband always wants herring at Angry Trout. I just want to grab a book at the cute bookstore and read it while watching the sun set over the lake.
If you have family members who are a bit more adventurous there’s a day trip you can take out near Hungry Jack (on the Gunflint trail) and then go to Duncan Lake. The portage from Duncan to Rose has an amazing waterfall and beautiful views. It’s a way to go to the BWCA with a day trip form you can fill out at the entry.
I second many things said here. Beware that the North shore can get cold even when rest of Minnesota is warm, dress for all kinds of weather. Agate picking is fun and popular. All state parks are a treasure, we’ve done them all, but tettegouche is best. Temperance River* is second best, great hikes near highway. Underrated and away from weekend crowds: Crosby manitou, though bugs can get bad depending on what time of year. Bean and bear hike is one of the best hikes in the Midwest.
*Edited for temperance river (not cascade), though cascade is nice too

We did the North Shore Scenic Railroad trip from Duluth to Two Harbors. Definitely recommend.
Watching the 1000' freighters come into Duluth harbor is also pretty neat. If you can get a rooftop table at Grandma's it's a good view of the canal and bridge.
Also toured Glensheen manor. It's a beautiful property. My wife was more into the family backstory and knew much more than me. If you're into that, it's worth the time.

Update:
So far we've hit up Tettegouche, Split Rock, Gooseberry, and Judge C.R. Magney State Parks. Saw the light house from the State Park trails, walked around Grand Marais.
Ran into Nate Heise's mom at the Devil's Kettle trailhead.
This is such a beautiful area. We're all glad we booked this place.

Good thing Wally sunk almost $300 dollars into that place (not including Lysol). You city folk are damn lucky!
