My wife and I stayed at the Super 8 in Eveleth for the Master National in late September. Nice place. I picked it because it got the best reviews of any hotel in the area from previous guests on the online travel sites. The price was right too. Pets are only allowed in some of the rooms. If you decide to stay there, be sure to make you reservation early and ask for a pet room. The properties where they ran the Master National are all located between Hibbing to the west and Virginia/Eveleth to the east. One trial property was very close to Hibbing, one was very close to Virginia/Eveleth, and one was about half way in between, so all of those towns are reasonably close for the actual event. Training grounds were mostly scattered in the area between the three towns, with a couple more training properties about 15 miles west of Hibbing and one maybe 30 miles to the north. The Minnesota Iron Range Retriever Club website has maps that show the approximate locations of the trial grounds and most of the training properties.
