About this property

Quiet retreat in the woods.

Welcome to our cabin! This fully renovated cabin is perfectly located, close to the North Shore and the most amazing state parks in Minnesota. While our cabin is conveniently located for adventure, it’s also far enough away to offer the seclusion needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The cabin sits on 20 acres of wooded bliss with ease of access for snowmobile or ATV riders as the North Shore Trail connects to the back of our property. Enjoy a quiet evening by the fire or relax in our wood burning sauna.
Located just 12 miles to Two Harbors and 13 miles to Beaver Bay, you will find many restaurants to explore and shops to take in. When you’re looking for great hiking, we are located just 12 miles to Gooseberry falls. As you continue up the shore you’ll find Split Rock Lighthouse, Tettegouche, George Crosby Manitou and Temperance River. While all of these parks offer amazing hikes and views, our favorite is Grand Portage State Park just at the border of Canada. It will take about an hour and a half to two hours to get there but well worth the drive. Then on your way back, you can stop in at all the other wonderful parks along the way.
The fall time is the best time to be at the cabin. Crisp, cool nights with little bugs make evening camp fires perfect. Be sure to look up while sitting by the fire at night to catch some amazing star gazing. Being so far from the city lights, it’s amazing what you can see at night! Perfectly situated amongst the tall pine trees, it’s perfect!
While we’re sure you’ll spend most of your time enjoying all the north shore has to offer, you’ll be pleased to know that inside, our cabin has all you’d ever need. The full kitchen is ready for you to enjoy, two bedrooms each with queen beds and a sleeper sofa with a full bed ensures you’ll have enough room to sleep everyone. The bathroom also tends to be a favorite of guests with the custom tiled shower!
Feel free to bring your ATV with easy access to the North Shore. This is a great way to see the fall colors at your own speed!
If you book a specific weekend, we’d suggest looking at www.northshorevistor.com to see what events are happening on the shore. You never know what fun you’ll find!
We hope you’ll find our cabin as enchanting as we do and welcome any questions you might have!
Welcome to the North Shore!

Quiet getaway in the north woods

Our vacation was in March and it snowed while we were there. It is a very well built cabin and we were super cozy the whole time. The fireplace was really delightful and there was plenty of wood available. We saw 21 deer on the quiet road that the cabin is located on

Weekend Getaway

Very quiet little property. We absolutely loved our stay. Only complaints were the water in the shower didn't get quite hot enough, and the tv/roku in the bedroom did not work at all.

Great escape!

Clean, quiet, and off the beaten path. Very comfortable bed. The only thing I might suggest is to provide a few coffee filters. But we made due with a paper towel. So no real issue. We will be back!

Nice and relaxing!

This is the perfect place to stay to get away from the busy-ness along the shore of Lake Superior. Close enough that it didn't take long to get to tourist spots and town, but far enough away that it was incredibly peaceful. Would stay again!

AMAZING Getaway!

We had such an amazing getaway at this cabin to enjoy the North Shore in the fall. There was a slight hiccup with the heater having issues turning on (because we were the first of the season) but the owner was SO responsive and drove all the way up to make sure that it was fixed. Excellent customer service, excellent escape and great for families!

Relaxing getaway

This quiet retreat in the country was just what we needed. A full kitchen and laundry on site were bonuses. A less buggy time of year would be nice to enjoy the outdoor amenities. Thank you!

Homebase for State Park Hiking

Very cozy, well-appointed cabin in a secluded and very quiet part of the North Shore. Plenty of room for two (but looks to sleep 6 comfortably). Perfect place for peace and quiet after days filled with hiking State Park trails.

Great little cabin in the woods!

Booked this place to get away from the hectic day to day hustle & bustle. Pretty setting in the woods, yet only a 15 minute drive to town. Enjoyed exploring the area during the day, then made a fire and had a glass of wine to unwind from the day. Peaceful place.

Peaceful

A wonderful stay! Plenty of kitchenware to cook meals. The fireplace is/was my happy place, tending to fires. The location is just far enough away from the outside world and just close enough to sights/attractions. Bentlyville lights were amazing from Lake Superior Helicopters! Christmas in the woods and first timers to the area, we will be back!

Great location

This cabin was easy to find from Two Harbors, with the very clear directions from the owner. Access code provided didn't work, which was challenging at 10pm. Cozy cabin, but there were a LOT of dead flies around on the floor and on windowsills.

Quiet Country with Easy Access to a town

We very much enjoyed this quiet country experience. We were able to relax and hang out. The state trail was extremely close to the house so we were able to walk down and walk on the trail. We did some snowshoeing. We did get 10 inches of snow and they had a snowplow comes 2x. We were very grateful.

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 and love the outdoors. We have 3 young children who love nothing more than going to "the cabin". Two Harbors holds a special place in our hearts, as it is where Jess and I began our love story. When the time was right we also decided that the Shore was the appropriate place for us to be Married. Now we come back often to spend time in many of our favorite places.
