Cozy northwoods retreat w/sauna

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Nestled in between a large peak and Big Bay of Lake Superior, our heated cabin is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a quiet getaway. Relax on the porch seating or take a stroll to the beaches of Lake Superior. Enjoy a private sauna or bonfire while watching the skies or take to the endless hiking trails Cook County has to offer, the options are endless!

Our cabin is located on a 40 acre parcel just off a private very well maintained road. Privacy is well maintained for a quiet getaway. Full of wildlife in the undeveloped area, we’ve spotted various types of animals and birds ranging from small to large. The 14x28 cabin offers a poplar and hickory built kitchen for food preparation needs, with a faucet for cleaning, and a neat dining table to eat with space. 7 windows are provided for a look at nature along with blinds for privacy along the sleeping area. Fridge/ freezer to keep food/drinks cold. Sleeping offers a queen size log bed for a needed nightly recharge. Enjoy outdoor dining or watch as a campfire crackles. Rock fire pit provided along with birch firewood for a sweet and soothing chance to enjoy the warmth. Clean and spacious outhouse is provided for bathroom needs.

Enjoy the off grid experience while being able to keep your food and drinks cold along with indoor/outdoor lighting. 4 USB outlets are provided along with cigarette lighter ports for charging needs.

House Rules:
-This will be based as a “glamping” type experience. “Leave it as you found it” and let others enjoy the space. Cleaning supplies are provided for an easy refresh! This helps keep stays more affordable if we all can do our part.

- Take note of recommended burning times as we would ask all guests to not burn during any dry times, for the safety of you, and anyone else along the north shore!

Really nice small cabin perfect for a couple or small family! The views were beautiful and at night it was pitch black! We were able to find a nearby camp with a shower so everything worked out great!

Cutest little cabin!

Loved this place for our Spring Break trip! The cabin and outhouse were very clean, and the kitchen was stocked well with utensils, pots/pans, and salt/pepper. The location was beautiful, and felt like we were all alone out there. This was a wonderful place to stay, about halfway between Grand Marais and Grand Portage. Great hiking spots nearby too!

A bear wandered by the cabin the first night I was cooking dinner. Made the entire trip, because I was inside. An awesome little cabin with easy access to the water.
