Looking for a unique natural woods getaway for yourself or your family that has many of the comforts of home? Get ready to relax in this roomy cabin just a 15 minute drive from Grand Marais, MN and close to Hovland, MN.
Experience the wild and rugged northwoods in this newly built property overlooking Lake Superior through the trees offering WiFi, electric heat and fans for guests to enjoy. There is no TV as we hope you take the time to unplug, enjoy nature & you can always fire up your laptop if you like. The night sky offers the amazing Milky Way, constellations and satellite viewing - you likely can get a glimpse of falling stars!
There is plenty of free parking with a 100 yard walk up to the bunkhouse nestled in the woods. We recommend you arrive during daylight hours. There is electricity, a dining area, kitchen area, log twin size bunkbed with a twin trundle, custom mattresses on the L dinette area sleeps two additional people and private area with an electric toilet and a camp shower. The bunkhouse sleeps up to 5. We provide drinking water and wash water but there is no pressurized running water at this time, so no piped shower or faucet flow but we are working on that! The soothing atmosphere of the bunkhouse will provide a peaceful retreat for your getaway. Owner has a cabin nearby on the property and is, at times, on premises should you have questions or need help with anything.
We look forward to hosting you at our bunkhouse.

There is a front and back door to the bunkhouse, a wonderful light and airy feel to the space and yet it is cozy and comfortable. We know you will enjoy your stay here on the rugged granite and treed hillside of Lake Superior in it's natural state.
We are located across the highway from the lake shore but you can still hear waves rolling onto the beach as well as the wolves howling their night song...and sometimes during the day as well. Due to severe rain and wind storms this summer we are still in the process of working on grounds, including a driveway and better views of the lake. In the meanwhile it is a wonderful little cabin to enjoy.
Judge Magney State Park and Naniboujou Lodge are just down the road. If you bring bikes you can ride the under 3 miles down the road to it and hike the awe inspiring trail to Devil's Kettle!
Just a short 20 min drive north is American Falls, a boardwalk in to a gorgeous falls on the Pigeon River that is beautiful at all seasons (and is a great Walleye fishing river downstream).
We are 17.3 miles north of Grand Marais so just a 15 minute drive south and you are there and can enjoy all the GM has to offer. Most weekends in the summer there is something going that is a fun filled day. Then you can return to the natural woods of the area.
Our property connects to a 200 acre parcel of woodland that is trust land so you can hike or hunt that area right from the bunkhouse. There are no trails or roads in that 200 acres.
Between our bunkhouse and GM there are beaches where you can enjoy the shore, rock hunt, read a book or just take in the calm or lapping waves. We invite you to come and relax for awhile.
