We are proud to welcome you

We offer a unique motel to stay, as we are located right on the I-35 highway. This lets you step off a main artery in Minnesota for a chance to simply stay the night on your journey or stay a while and enjoy the wonders that are offered in our rural setting.  Many trail users know about us having the trails lead right up to our door for a convenient place to launch into the fabulous 'Northwoods.' Barnum has long touted the town being the "Gateway to the Northwoods" and for good reason. ATVers, snomobilers, bikers, hikers and agate hounds can really appreciate our location. When lodging gets filled up in Cloquet motels with large gatherings or Duluth motels fill up with Grandma's Marathon hosting the nation, we are an excellent solution for a place to stay.

Minnesota is famous for having all four seasons in full glory.  Summer lakes full of fish, Munger Trail being the longest paved rails to trails path, Soo Line grades now being maintained by local organizations. Fall has a full bouquet of colors because of the Maple & Oaks common in our area. Winter is one of the best for snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. Spring is recognized by our town of Barnum with 'Spring Fever Days' as a celebration of life renewed. Annual festivals being hosted in every town of the area are just some of the reasons for recreating and discovering life at it's finest.

Artisans are located throughout our area creating works of art. You'll enjoy visiting some of the local shops filled with their work.  A major event is the 'Autumn Winds Tour' where our local artisans open their studio doors to the public. You'll want to stay a while to fully enjoy this event.  'Art in the Park' happens in conjunction with 'Agate Days' which are world renowned.

So you see... we are not only a stop over motel, but a destination motel for sleeping comfort in a most excellent part of Minnesota.

Hope to see you soon,
Shane & Penny Shol
