About this property

Beautiful cabin, two if you wish, on Pike Lake close to Grand Marais

Welcome to “The Cabins on Pike Lake" in Grand Marais. Voted the Best Midwestern Small Town by USA Today, and the Coolest Small Town by Budget Travel Magazine, Grand Marais has a lot to offer. We are delighted to host you in our two luxurious and comfortable cabins on beautiful Pike Lake. Thank you for considering us for your next vacation get-away.

The Cabins
When you stay with us, you have 2 options:
For groups of 4 or less, the Main Cabin is perfect. For more space and privacy, you can also rent guest cabin for an additional $150/night.
For groups of 5-7 you must rent both the main cabin AND the guest cabin. We cannot accommodate groups of more than 7.

Please note that the charge for the guest cabin will not automatically appear on the pricing. The owner will have to manually enter the charge after the guest requests the pricing.

These traditional cabins have been meticulously updated for modern living without compromising their North Shore Arrowhead heritage. They sit just across the yard from each other yet still have ample space between them to offer privacy. The Main Cabin has two bedrooms and the Guest Cabin is a studio. Each has a contemporary kitchen and bath, a gas fireplace, and a lake-facing deck. We offer a wonderful shared space for families and multi-family vacations. We do not rent the cabins separately, so when you rent with us, the property is exclusively yours.

A third building, a renovated boathouse, serves as a screened porch, and is located a few feet from the shoreline. It is a wonderful place for solitude and a nice place to play games on a rainy day. Want to sit out under the stars by a fire and make S’mores? We have a beautiful spot, a slate fire pit also just a few feet from the lake.

Create lasting memories. Bring your family and friends to “The Cabins” to enjoy Pike Lake’s beauty and serenity. Swim off the dock and wade on the pebble beach in the crystal-clear shallow water – perfect for kids (be sure to bring water shoes)! Take a canoe, we have three - two usual sized and a single-person fishing canoe -- or one of our two kayaks for a tour of the amazing and secluded Pike Lake. Don’t forget your fishing poles!

Please note that we do not allow pets.

During the summer months we prefer week-long stays and we welcome weekend and midweek bookings through the rest of the year.

The Surrounding Area
There are so many things to see and do, all year round, close by. Visit Grand Marais, the “Coolest Small Town in America” with it’s beautiful Lake Superior harbor, art galleries, and many restaurants – have breakfast at the Blue Water Café or pizza at Sven and Ole’s. Enjoy a meal at the Angry Trout, the Fisherman's Daughter, the Gunflint Tavern or any one of several great places to eat in the area.

This is what Travel and Leisure magazine says about Grand Marais: https://www.travelandleisure.com/guide-to-grand-marais-minnesota-7642197

Travel south 25 minutes to Lutsen Mountains, “mid-America’s largest ski resort,” for skiing, Gondola rides, Alpine slides (gondola and slides open in the summer), golf, and a number of restaurants and bars (check the local listings link for live bands that play throughout the year.) For that special occasion visit the romantic and historic Lutsen Resort Dining Room. The food and lake views are, like the lake, superior!

Like to hike or mountain bike? You’ve come to the right place! Lake Superior, picturesque waterfalls and parks, hiking trailheads, and back roads are just minutes away from “The Cabins.” The fall colors are spectacular on Pike Lake and throughout this area.

In the winter, along with great downhill skiing, our location gives you immediate access to miles of groomed cross-country ski trails including the Norpine Trail Association system. A parking lot/trailhead is 2.5 miles from “The Cabins.” 57km of cross country skiing, hiking, and mountain biking trails are just minutes away! The trails wind through mature maple forests, mixed evergreens, and North Country wildlife. A number of the trails have spectacular views of Lake Superior and connect up to the Cascade River State Park Trails. The trails are well marked and maps are available online.

Our Invitation to You
There is plenty to do and, if you like, there is nothing “to do” at “The Cabins.” You are most welcome and warmly invited to spend time throughout the year with us. Please know that while we love pets, we do not allow them at “The Cabins.”

Stayed here with 3 grandkids and had a great time. 60 years ago we had a cabin on this lake, just a few properties away. Had a good time reminiscing with the grandkids and we will definitely do it again.

Beautifu,l peaceful cabin.

We stayed here for a long late winter weekend with some downhill skiing at lutsen and xc skiing on the norpine trails. We were very impressed with the cabin, wonderful decor, great spaces, and a really pleasant place to spend our evenings. Everything worked well for us, and we appreciated the care and quality of the cabin, the artwork and the furnishings. It is clearly a well loved place. We didn't rent the guest cabin, but it would be a great way to expand the space if needed. It is a bit of an extra drive up into the woods above lake Superior, but well worth it, and very close to great classic xc ski trails!

This was a beautiful cabin, fully appointed and comfortable. Awesome selection of books, games and puzzles. The drive to the cabin was on a hard pack dirt road and was about a 7 mile drive. It wasn’t a 100% clear that to have the 3 listed bedrooms and 2 bathrooms you have to rent the smaller cabin as well. The walls in the bedrooms didn’t go to the ceiling so that’s just something to know, however, overall it was just lovely

We try to come here every summer and once again our stay was wonderful! The cabin is so cozy, I love all the decor. The bed is super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and everything was very clean. We love how quiet and peaceful the location is. Close enough to enjoy time in Grand Marais and yet away from the crowds. We hiked to Hidden Falls for the first time and the parking lot for the trailhead was just a few minute drive from the cabin. We love it here and hope to come back again next year!

Why they chose this property

The Cabins at Pike Lake offer a unique setting with the main cabin and the guest cabin both being available to rent and they both have a waterfront setting. Whether you need one cabin or both to accommodate your family and friends you'll find them both to be amazingly comfortable and well-suited to discerning tastes. The clean waters of Pike Lake are just outside the door and the dock, canoe and row boat are all there for your use. A beautiful slate bonfire area sits lakeside, too. Listen to the crackle of the fire and the waves. Pike Lake is a good fishing lake, too, so don't forget your poles/tackle.

What makes this property unique

Two cabins on the shores of Pike Lake and just a few steps to the water's edge. Wildlife, call of the loons, , quiet & serene setting, proximity to downtown Grand Marais, quality of the lodging itself...what more does one need in a private get-away!
