Homemade cinnamon rolls or walleye with wild rice pilaf may inspire awe (especially if you've just hiked the trail to Devil's Kettle Falls). But the real showstopper at this cedar-shingle lodge is the dining room itself. Vivid zigzags and Cree Indian designs in blue, red, green and yellow arch across the ceiling and cover the walls. Art deco chandeliers cast a glow. A 20-foot fireplace made with native stone anchors the room. The guest rooms are simple, and alcohol is not served, but that won't matter in this remarkable space. 20 Naniboujou Trail, Grand Marais; 1-218-387-2688; naniboujou.com
