The Bluffs Inn offers four season motel lodging in Bessemer, MI... 4 miles east of Ironwood, MI and 5 miles west of Wakefield, MI. Centrally located near 4 ski resorts, snowmobile trail 2, Copper Peak, the Ottawa National Forest, Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains, Bessemer was founded on the success of iron ore mining in the 1800's and is now the county seat of Gogebic County. 

Four Season Lodging

Winter

Ski, snowboard, snowmobile, snowshoe or just build a snowman. In this Lake Superior snowbelt, we are the happy recipients of 200+ inches of snow a year. That's over 16 feet! High and low temperatures can range from +35 degrees to -35 degrees. So, leave the flip-flops at home... you won't need them to ride your snow machine, jump on a snowboard or photograph icy waterfalls.

  Spring

Spring thaws of our incredibly deep snow cover bring area waterfalls to life and turn gentle creeks into raging rivers. Trillium blossums carpet the forest floor. Songbirds return and fill the air with the sounds of spring after a quiet winter.

Summer

Miles of pristine Lake Superior beaches are destinations for swimming, agate hunting, sailing, kayaking and simple relaxation. There is no shortage of hiking trails or secluded hideaways. And, although our fish are well trained not to jump into your net, many species can be coaxed out of the water with a little patience.

  Autumn

In mid to late September, dense forest canopies begin to transform into red, orange and yellow beacons. Peak fall color viewing depends on the weather, but usually falls between September 20th and October 10th. Salmon and trout begin their run to spawn while resident bald eagles perch in trees along the rivers. We don't know how, but the dogs seem to know when bird season opens. Then, of course, everyone starts thinking about a big buck.
