Arrowhead resort/hotel

I'm looking for a nice place to stay (near silver bay?)for a trip I'm planning for my Wife and I. Any suggestions, comments on places you've stayed will help.

We have a pantera so being on the trail would be ideal. Ditch banging doesn't work so well with a co-pilot grin.gif

We made the mistake in Michigan once booking a hotel that pretty much catered to skiiers and was very far from the trails.

You can also sled right from the SB AmericInn on 61. You do have to sled thru town to the NS trail but the place has a waterslide (lots of fun for my 3 year old last year!) and a big parking lot for trailers.

We stayed there too. It was new last year, very clean, breakfast was included and way less expensive than the fancy places also mentioned. Can get lake view rooms if you want, and the water slide is a nice touch too. Don't get me wrong, the others are very nice places and we've stayed there too on more special occasions, but for snowmobiling (and ATVing) we spend so little time at the place we opted for the less expensive one.

TV BOY,

I work at Grand Superior Lodge and am pretty much in the loop on the trails right now. With the last stretch of warm temps the trails from the resorts are not in the greatest of conditions but once you get up to the North Shore trail its all good. Form our resort its about 4 miles of rough trail before you get to the good stuff on the Gooseberry trail. If you are coming mainly to ride then I would reccomend going up to Silver Bay and staying this time as you will find the best direct connect to the trail system but that can all change depending on traffic and grooming.

Otherwise if you are looking for more than just the riding you should come visit us and say Hi. Last minute bookings can generally get a better rate over the phone with a little haggling, just won't be able to guarantee the room type or availablity depending on whats left. Good luck and have fun.

I need to get some reservations soon. Any last suggestions as where to stay. Would heading up to Lutsen be a best bet vs Two Harbors,Silver Bay? We got burned in MI once staying at a Ski-Lodge (not very Snowmobiler Friendly!) and you had to ride the shoulder of the road 5 miles to the trail.

I got a sweet deal at Bluefin Bay. The gal on the phone said the trail was a few blocks away and you had to ride the ditch.

Anyone ride from there? If it is a pain to get to the trail let me know so I can make another reservation.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
