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.

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!

Cozy Cabin
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.

Peaceful Cottage
Babbling brook created a calm atmosphere. Comfortable beds, hot water, handy location close to hunting trails and also to Grand Marais. Flies inside were annoying and some outlets/lamps didn’t work.

Great stay at cute cabin!
Hosts were great to confirm not too many steps and beds/baths on main level for my elderly parents. Cool sleeping loft for my teenaged son and he caught some trout in the stream!

Relaxing little getaway
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!

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.

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!

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!
