Wolf Point Cabin - Remote Access Retreat

This remote northern Minnesota cabin is located close to the BWCA in a road-less area not far from our Homestead here at White Iron Lake. There is no road to this cabin. In the summer you are picked up in our John-boat and transported to our dock.

In 1999 we bought this wilderness property. No roads. No electricity. No Traffic. No Telephones. Our idea was to have a remote place to escape to yet we can access from our Homestead either by water in the summer season or by ice in the winter season. This property is surrounded by an extensive marsh wildlife area and by Federal land. This assures us of great privacy. This has been a very rewarding experience for our family as we have done all of the construction process ourselves.

We will help transport your gear and supplies to the cabin and back.

The Cabin is 24' x 20' with a loft room. Main floor has a bedroom, kitchen and living room. There is a porch off the living room. There are lots of windows which provides lots of natural light and great outdoor viewing. The inside of the cabin is knotty pine paneling and flooring. There is a woodstove for heating. Propane gas lights. Propane gas stove and refrigerator for cooking. We also have a separate sauna building for your bathing enjoyment. There is also an outhouse located in our property.

We are pet friendly. Our fee is $20.00 a day per dog. Max 2 dogs.

Gorgeous nature retreat
We felt like we are living in the middle of a lush and beautiful forest.We loved canoeing in the lake and bay, and we’re delighted to see and hear Trumpeter Swans, loons, beavers, and barred owls. The cabin was cozy and we appreciated the full kitchen. Gary was accommodating in every way.

Very nice, quiet, private cabin in the woods
We very much enjoyed our 4-night stay! We were there in the summer so did not use the sauna. It would be an especially nice place to stay in the fall or winter with the wood stove, sauna and fire pit. The really charming cabin is up the hill in the woods accessible by a 5-minute hike up a portage trail. The cabin is not right on the water but there are canoes provided at the access dock. There is a swimming rock and spot to sit a little ways down the shore. There is not electricity so bring back up power pack or solar chargers for phone or tablet. There are propane lanterns on the wall in the main room and a very nice propane refrigerator/freezer and stove/oven in the well supplied kitchen area. Bring headlamps and possibly additional lanterns. Plenty of water was supplied. Gary was very helpful in transporting our gear up and down the hill in an ATV. We had our gear well packed in a cooler and portage packs which was helpful to keep things dry and contained both for the ATV and the boat transport across the lake. The south end of White Iron is pretty quiet with lots of beautiful large pines. We heard sled dogs (or perhaps wolves?) singing in the distance a couple times which was wonderful.

Great escape from the everyday life
Gary was a excellent host and our stay was an amazing experience! We loved how peaceful the surroundings were and hearing only nature and it’s beautiful sounds, especially at night while we slept. We would definitely come back for another stay!

Sister weekend
We enjoyed our winter stay in this cozy cabin! Gary was very helpful getting our gear to the cabin and there was plenty of water for drinking, cooking, and dishes! We appreciated the propane kitchen appliances and had everything we needed for cooking our gourmet meals! We enjoyed using the sauna and watching the wild life around the cabin! Thanks for your hospitality!

Quiet, peaceful beauty
It was great to get away from it all, enjoying the amazing quietness, the beauty of the leaves changing, and the wildlife sightings. I was glad no one was in the other cabin, so that we had the area completely to ourselves. Having a canoe provided to explore the lake and the hiking trail down at the river was wonderful. There was plenty of water provided by host, and with the propane lights and appliances, and a wood stove for heating, it felt like we were away from it all but still living very comfortably. The upstairs did get warm but with the window open was fine. Gary was very easygoing and helpful. He was prompt to respond before and during our stay.

Much needed getaway
The stay at the cabin "off the grid" was just what we needed to relax and embrace the Minnesota lakes area. The hosts were great and we plan to return in the future with our grandchildren and do some more paddling and soaking up the serenity of the area.

Week getaway
We had a great time at this rustic little getaway. Gary was a trooper for getting all our supplies for the week to the cabin. Loved the hike to the cabin and the nature and seclusion of the property. It was chilly for July so we had a fire in the cabin three nights. Fishing was not great but we expected that for the time of year. We appreciated the potable water and accommodations. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful
Our stay at wolf point cabin was fantastic! The cabin itself is situated in pristine wilderness and is comfortable and thoughtfully built. The surrounding area has so many options for canoeing, especially if you are up for an adventure! The hosts were gracious and responsive - so wonderful to work with.

Adventure in the Woods
This was just the adventure and getaway we were looking for! We came to the cabin after taking a short boundary waters trips, so in spite of the rustic setting, it felt like luxury. We spent most of the time exploring the lake in canoes, swimming off the point, fishing and sitting around the fire. The weather and breeze were great for keeping the worst of the bugs away.
