There is also an outdoor tennis court, an indoor pool and whirlpool, a heated outdoor pool overlooking Lake Superior and two saunas. In the spring, summer and fall, Bluefin provides mountain and road bikes, hiking trail guides and backpacks, tennis equipment, badminton and bocce ball sets, and a shuttle service.

All of the bedrooms in the unit have one queen bed. If you plan to share a room, we ask that you find your own roommate.

All units have a full kitchen, eating area, and a shared jacuzzi on the main level. Prices include all taxes.
