Summary: Have fun with the whole family at this newly remodeled haus in the heart of Finland Forest, 3 miles from Hwy 61, and 5 minutes from Tettegouche State Park. Enjoy your days with all the things to do on the North Shore—hiking, kayaking, boating, fishing, golfing, ATV, skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing all while exploring the Lake Superior area. Come home after a long day, cook a meal with a fully equipped kitchen, and snuggle up on the couch, play board games, or relax by the bonfire.
