Lake Superior Laker’s

Over 30″ of fresh snow and temp’s around zero, but the Laker’s are still operating on the Lake. They usually ship until about mid January but because of this cold weather we are getting in early December this could end their season earlier this year. Not so sure it is much fun being on a steel ship with waves splashing … Read More

Eagles in waiting

A poor deer met her demise last nite while trying to cross Hwy 61 in front of our Inn. I noticed a couple Eagles waiting for a chance to get a meal. I went to get the camera and when I got back out there 5 Eagles were sitting up there along with 3 crows. Four of the Eagles had … Read More

Still is Fall on the North Shore

We still have quite few leaves left on the trees and lots of color still in the ground cover. Yes it’s getting colder but the hiking is good and it’s not nearly as busy. A great time to come to the North Shore.

Beginning of Fall Colors

Fall is beginning along the shore. We are just starting to notice a changing of the leaves and the weeds aren’t growing anymore. Our weekends are almost full but we have some rooms available during the week if you can come.

Split Rock

I was up early this morning and decided to take the 5 minute drive to Split Rock State Park to get some photos before anyone else would be in them. It’s quiet and peaceful in the early morning hours. Wasn’t the best day for pictures if you can call any day here bad! The nice part about our Inn is … Read More

North Shore Beach

If you are going to be staying at Bell Sheep Homestead and would like to hike to this private and quiet public beach, just ask and we would be more than happy to give you directions how to get to this wonderfully awesome beach.

Labor Day Breakfast

These great looking people had breakfast this Labor Day. We started out with sliced bananas topped with vanilla yogurt and toasted coconut, a very tasty Northwoods Quiche, finished off with fresh homemade cinnamon rolls. There were 7 very clean plates and 7 full stomachs.

40 year reunion

These ladies were classmates 40 years ago when they graduated from UMD. This is the second time they have all gotten together at our Inn. All have stayed here but not always all together. They enjoyed a sailboat cruise out of Knife River on Saturday evening and did lots of hiking the other 2 days.

Trestle Inn

When you stay with us we can give you directions on how to find this unique Restaurant and bar while out exploring and site-seeing. If you like driving the back roads, then the Trestle Inn is for you.

More Tall Ships

After two days of clouds, cold and scattered showers, we decided to go into Duluth and get up close to the Ships. We had sun and much warmer weather. The ships were docked in two separate areas and the crowds were much smaller. We were able to board The Pride of Baltimore and The Niagara. All in all a great … Read More
