About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded Forest Retreat With The Little Devil Track River Running Through.

Open May - November this is a wilderness cabin with beaver, eagles, mink, moose, and silence. We are surrounded by forest all around and our two neighbors are rarely heard from or seen at all. The small river is accessible right out your front door, and kids like to splash, catch and net things!
But so many things to do beckon beyond the cabin property it's almost overwhelming. The Lake Superior Hiking Trail (which runs from Duluth to Canada) is very nearby. Devils Track Lake, a rather large lake has good fishing and swimming is down the road a couple of miles. The galleries, food and music in 'town' are extraordinary. Grand Marais really has become quite a hub for artists of all types. The North House Folk School is a one of a kind craftshop with adult classes and the Gunflint Tavern features local and national talent in a funky intimate atmosphere.
Almost half of the people who stay at our cabin are repeat visitors. When you read our guestbook you can see the fun (and quiet relaxation) unfold for so many, rain or shine.

The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Secluded getaway

This was our third visit to this cabin and we enjoyed every moment! During the day we explored several of the great hikes in the area, and in the evening we relaxed in the clean and cozy cabin by the fire reading and playing games. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect, private, comfortable cabin. We had a fantastic stay. Highly recommend. Short trip to town or the gunflint. Cool nights made the wood stove a wonderful asset. Hope to return next year.

This was our second time staying in the cabin. Such a special place. The location is a perfect distance from town so that we could come back and prepare meals between exploring. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Absolutely perfect time. Thank you!

Perfect Place In The Woods To Unwind

The river runs through the front yard, flowing over rocks, creating a peaceful “white noise” situation, enjoyed throughout the house. “Cooler by the Lake” is a factor as well, our stay was the first week of August, in the 90’s to the south, but mid 60’s in the cabin during the day, and bumping 58 degrees after dark Comfortable throughout, so many nice touches, including well aged birch in ghe woodsbed!

Close to hiking

This VRBO is close to the Pincushion Trail for biking & hiking. It's also a quick drive to town for coffee and donuts. In the general Grand Marais area we saw two otters, a jack rabbit, plenty of bouncing crows, 2 wolves and three pups, chipmunks, red squirrels, humming birds, snakes and water birds. The wolves were spotted from atop the NE side of Pincushion Mountain looking E down into a meadow. The adults were rather large! Inside, I am sorry to say, was visual, audible, and scent evidence of mice. We did not use the kitchen because of the mouse activity. All of our food was kept inside our cooler as not to add to the party that we were not invited to. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable for my family. Thank you for the 3 fans. Drapes would be a plus. We gave up on the entertainment system. We changed the batteries in the remote with no luck. We saw the directions in the handbook. The movie supply looked fun for late night relaxing. I enjoyed your books- especially the Big Sur Cookbook. The stream was a bonus for us. It's deep in spots (2.5-3 ft.). The otters were spotted early in the morning on the far side of the stream. The back deck is not safe for a small group of adults to be all at once. The situation is in dire need of a sure foundation. The mosquitoes were not out of control. The driveway was a nice wooded walk. The neighbors/pets were quiet. There's plenty of firewood for bonfires and we were happy to find a shower. Thank You.

Peace and Quiet

My wife and I drove to the A frame the day after our wedding. It was a beautiful little a frame to spend our first few days as a married couple. Having fires by the stream so relaxing, such a quiet peaceful vibe. The sound system is good, a few more CDs would be nice but a good selection. It is an easy 5 min drive to town and good food. The beds, furniture, etc are all nice and comfortable. The kitchen is a bit basic, but that is what is described and a very easy trade off for the seclusion, nature, and positive vibe. Would love to stay again!

Friends’ Getaway

We had the BEST time at the Secluded Forest Retreat in Grand Marais. The location was private and beautiful, with our daily view of the little river out back. The amenities were perfect and the home offered lots of comfortable spaces. We loved the unique artwork and selection of books and movies. The kitchen was well equipped ands access to the grill was a bonus. We enjoyed taking a break from eating out and making our own meals. The location was close enough to town yet far enough out to take in the peace and quiet. It was just what we needed for our friends’ getaway to the North Shore.

Beautiful location, quaint cabin

Loved the location of this A-frame cabin. We had a nasty night of weather and rain that caused leaking in the cabin and the electricity to go out. Chris was very attentive in helping with communication to get this resolved. The cabin was very clean, beds comfortable, close to Grand Marais, and on the Gunflint Trail. Disappointed we did not see wildlife.

Perfection

This cabin was the perfect place for us! We explored the North Shore each day and came back to a relaxing and quirky cabin each evening. It is secluded and quiet, but also just a few short minutes to downtown Grand Marais, close to multiple state parks, and many other adventures. The cabin itself is well-stocked and cozy. It sleeps 6, with very comfortable beds, two bathrooms, and a lovely kitchen. It is bright and cheery, with the sound of the river right outside. The hosts were wonderful with communication and they clearly love the property. If you're travelling Up North, make this your home-base!

Secluded getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend in this cozy cabin tucked away in the woods, but still a quick drive to town and lots of great hiking trails. One day it rained, but we were happy to sit by the fire, play games, and watch the rain come down through the big windows. This was our second stay at this cabin and we’d come back again!

Our family enjoyed our first stay and came back this year. It feels like coming home to your family cabin for a summer break. Kids loved paddling in the pond. Brought happy memories from our last stay. Chris is responsive to questions and very accommodating. We would love to come back for another family getaway.
