About this property

Northwoods Retreat: Private 10-Acre Cabin Near Lakes and Trails + Fire Pit

Perfectly Located in Hunting Lands, ATV and Snowmobile Trails. WiFI SMART TV

This 2-bedroom cabin is perfect for your escape to the great North Woods. Nestled in a tranquil setting on 10 private acres, our fabulous property offers a cozy yet modern retreat for guests. You'll have easy access to hiking, biking, ATV, and snowmobile trails throughout the State Forest and the Superior National Forest surrounding the cabin, including 700 acres of public land directly across the street to the north.

Inside, the cabin boasts a freshly remodeled setting. As you enter, you'll find a spacious open area that includes a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare your own meals. The dining table seats six, and the comfortable living room, complete with a Smart TV, provides a perfect spot to relax after a day of outdoor adventures. The cabin has two bedrooms with comfortable beds for a restful night’s sleep—one queen bed, two full beds, and an additional queen pull-out bed in the living room. With amenities like a washer and dryer, grill, firepit, and high-speed internet, you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Centrally located between Pelican, Side Lake, and Lake Vermilion—all less than a 30-minute drive—you'll have easy access to numerous beaches and public boat launches. Side Lake features a giant sandy beach area perfect for family fun, while Lake Vermilion, just 20 minutes away, makes this cabin a budget-friendly option for fishermen who don’t need to stay right by the water but do need ample parking for their trailers and boats.

Immerse yourself in the excellent surroundings and make your holiday unforgettable with a stay at our cabin!

The house is pet friendly, please inquire first about bringing your pet.

This very clean and comfortable cabin is in a quiet, peaceful location. It had everything we needed and we had a wonderful week of vacation.There are several several fishing, boating and hiking options within a short drive. The International Wolf Center and North American Bear Centers are less than an hour away in Ely and there is another bear sanctuary a short drive from the cabin.We highly recommend it!

We rented "the Castle" for a group of 8 to celebrate my daughter's 40th and my 70th. It fit our needs very well and the location was great. Wish we could have stayed longer!

About the host

Hosted by Garrett Simensen

Host profile image
Having lived in many places throughout the country and even in England,
Garrett and his family are grateful to call northern Minnesota home. He and
his wife Lauren have been raising their 3 young kids in the northland since
2020 and couldn't think of a better place to call home. Like many we live
here to be outdoors! We live just a 2 miles away on a 40 acre hobby farm. We bought this property so our family could come visit us from out of state and have their own place to stay. When it is not being used by them and our friends we love sharing it with anyone who wants to experience all the great opportunities Northern Minnesota has to offer.
