The Rustic Inn was built in the mid -1920s by Emil Edison as part of one of the first cabin resorts on Lake Superior. With its hand milled, self supporting, cedar walls & birch floor, it is just as warm and welcoming now as it was almost 100 years ago. If only the walls could talk. Our Original Dining Room has hosted everything from Weddings, Baby Showers, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Graduations, Family Reunions, funerals, and even been turned into a dance hall a time or two. Serving Skillets and Omlette’s for Breakfast, Fresh Lake Superior Fish, Tender Roast Beef with Homemade Mashed Potatoes & Gravy for Lunch; as well as Burgers and of course Fresh Lake Superior Fish and Homemade Pies the business grew rapidly. A Gift Shop was added by acquiring the Naturalists home From Gooseberry Falls State Park. Soon after, we discovered that we had to move due to highway construction; So we picked up our buildings and moved them! 3 blocks to exact. At that time we added another dining room and additional retail space. Over time we went year round and added a snowmobile trail for our winter guests. We are truly grateful and thankful for each and every one of our customers and friends. We would invite you to join us and would like to get to know you!
