Story-book Cabin in the Woods of Lake Superior, near Grand Marais.

Charming off-grid cabin surrounded by beautiful forest, starry skies, and wildlife. Campfires, hammocks, and seclusion await you at this sweet cottage. While enjoying the tranquility of this cabin, it's hard to believe Lake Superior and Grand Marais are less than five minutes away. Enjoy the nearby waterfalls, shorelines, and new bike path along the big Lake.

Well-stocked kitchen with propane stove. Gallery stairs lead to a loft with a comfy queen bed. There is also full size futon downstairs, a little wood stove and solar-powered lights and USB charger. It's hard to believe off-grid living could be this cozy. That said, it's not for everyone. Guests will bring in water, ice, and linens / sleeping bags. There is an outhouse for guests. Guests will need to tidy up the cabin for the next guests as well (therefore there is no cleaning fee).

If you're looking for a unique lodging experience that is still comfortable and charming in a location that feels totally secluded but is just outside of Grand Marais, this is the spot!

Awesome spot!
We really enjoyed being close to town while also within the forest. Rustic, and that’s exactly what we were after.

Great little get away
Great little place to just get away from everything for a few days. The nights got down towards upper 30’s and the wood stove kept it nice and warm in the cabin. Grand Marais is such a great area and we were thrilled to have such a great off the grid cabin to stay at.

Simple and easy
This is a very lovely space; simple in design, new, and easy to get to with a car. Honestly, we chose it because it was the only place we could find for that night--my sons' were biking from the border of Iowa to the canadian border, putting them in Grand Marais on a saturday night, finishing the bike ride the following day. So we took it. That it lacked running water and electricity wasn't a problem, just for the price we paid it felt, well, bad. They will plan better next time, so we don't have to feel this way. This was the most expensive place they stayed on the entire trip up (500 miles, 7 nights) and every other place had plumbing, electricity, wifi. Yes, we realize this is in the woods, and rustic, and that's good. Just feeling over-charged for what we got.

Tranquility
This was such a peaceful lodging in the woods yet so close to the lake and Grand Marais as described. It was easy to relax instantly in the cheery lodging you created. We just stayed for the weekend as a respite from biking but could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Cozy Cabin in the Woods
Gorgeous cabin nestled among the birches and aspens. It had everything we needed and well stocked with firewood as well. Close to Grand Marais, hiking, and bike trails. Would definitely recommend to any couple looking to unplug for a weekend!

Quaint and exciting
The owners gave great instructions on finding the property and the check in process. The cabin is very clean and charming! The property is very private and you truly can unplug and feel at ease. The town is easily accessible and close for entertainment and dining. Washing dishes was a little difficult as there was no sponge or scrubby so definitely be sure to bring plenty of water! We would love to stay again next year!
