Secluded Serenity - Rustic Cabin Nestled in the Northwoods

Unplug and unwind at our beautiful rustic cabin located on 20 private acres with thousands of acres of state land beyond! Enjoy all that nature has to offer! After a long day of outdoor recreation, you can relax in the authentic Finnish wood burning sauna.

Other things to do:
- Enjoy the many ATV, snowmobile, mountain biking and hiking trails nearby, including some trails that can be accessed from the property.
- Public Lake Access is located 1 mile away to Morcom Lake for fishing or kayaking
- Grill outdoors or roast marshmallows over the fire
- Duluth and Cloquet are approximately 45 mins away for shopping and entertainment
- Explore Giant’s Ridge Recreational area located 50 minutes away
- Deer hunting and excellent grouse hunting (a waiver must be signed prior so please let us know if you would like to hunt on the property)

Important Information to Read Prior to Booking:
- There is no running water or bathroom INSIDE of the cabin. **There is an outhouse on site. We also have a high powered well located outside of the cabin to pump clean water for dishes, cooking, showering, etc.**
- The well water is clean but it does contain lots of iron. **We recommend bringing drinking water.**
- It has been an extremely wet season. We have fumigated for bugs multiple times, but the bugs can still get pretty bad at night. **We recommend bringing layers, some bug spray or nets for your comfort.**
- Wood for outside fires and the sauna is provided.
- There is no shower at this time. We do have a camp shower that can be hung up outside the sauna. We also like to rinse off/shower with cold water after a nice sauna session as a way to clean off as well. Get creative!

We are just a message away if you need anything or have any questions. We are excited to share our beautiful cabin with you!

Perfect place to get away from it all...
Charming, rustic property. Very clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. Fireplace heats the house very well. We didn't need baseboard heat (or we could have skipped the fire). Loved the sauna. So happy to not have access to WiFi. Comfy beds. Awesome hosts. -- responded quickly to a question and were very friendly. Loved the sounds of frogs and birds, and the stars were beautiful.

Perfect Quiet Getway
This cabin was nothing short of amazing. From the drive in to the cabin it was beautiful. We visited when the temps were -15. The fire place was great along with the steamy sauna. They had plenty of firewood for use. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever utensils needed. Coffee pot, microwave, toaster, and crock pot to use. Plenty of extra blankets if needed. We loved sleeping up in the loft area, it was the coziest spot! We loved that they had board games and books. They had plenty do lights outside, especially leading to the bathroom which was nice. This cabin stay was the perfect quiet getaway we were looking for. If you are look to escape the hectic city life and disconnect, this cabin is the place for you. Thank you for sharing this place with us, we will be back!

Grouse camp 2023!
We had a great stay! The cabin was remote and cozy just as expected. The sauna was a very welcome treat. Night time camp fires were wonderful and we got to hear wolves. Being able to hunt grouse right out the door was great and we saw several on the road within the property. Thank you a great fall get away!!

While the weather did not exactly cooperate (lots of rain) we really enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the remote location and the quiet forest setting, perfect for relaxing after busy days visiting family in the area. Cabin was cozy, clean, and exactly as we expected. Thank you Jana and Arnold!

Peace and quiet
If you are looking to get away to what feels like the middle of nowhere, you’ve found it! We enjoyed our weekend here. Quiet, peaceful, clean, cozy. The cabin owners have the place stocked with everything needed. But bring bug spray…the mosquitos were out! A good spray and all was good. We look forward to staying in the fall next time and getting to explore the woods.

Great property! Love the cabin! Sheets & blankets clean! Instructions clear & well written. The owners thought of everything! Kids said it was awesome except for the sauna not working out. Could have used some kindling and if guests would clean the dishes they use, would have been perfect! Thank you!
