About this property

Tettegouche Log Cabin Lake Superior views, Sauna, 4 state parks, snowshoe trails

Hand scribed log cabin perched high on a cliff overlooking lake superior. Surrounded by big red and white pines, it truly is the 'land of the pines.' Kick back on the deck or in the large screen porch and watch the ships coming and going from Silver Bay Harbor. Huge view of the lake and Palisade Head. Very private and peaceful.

Tons to do, near Tettegouche, Judge Magney, Temperance and Split Rock state parks and Silver Bay Marina. Excellent waterfalls, Baptism river, swimming, hiking, fishing, biking, rock climbing, sailing, boating, kayaking, the list goes on...
or a perfect spot to sit and take in the views and do nothing at all.

Winter season brings a whole new array of activities and scenery. The snow covered white pines with the blue water of Lake Superior is amazing! We have a sweet dove tail wood fired sauna. There are 2 sets of snowshoes and trails from the door. Also several great cross country ski trails nearby, including Tettegouche State Park, where you can ski into an old hunting camp of several log cabins and a nice lodge. You can pack in a lunch and make a fire in the fireplace. There is also the Northwoods Ski Trail in Silver Bay and Flathorn-Gegoka in Isabella, just to name a few.

There is a queen and a double bed in the loft with a huge skylight for star gazing and lightning storms. The screen porch also has incredible views and is a comfortable place to relax, there is also a comfy futon in the living room.

Centrally located on the North Shore only 50 miles to Grand Marais, 58 miles to Duluth or 50 miles to Ely and the Boundary Waters. The Silver Bay Marina is only six miles away. Superior Hiking trail is a quarter mile. Ring camera doorbell is on site; located beside entry door.

Perfect Christmas gift for parents
We gifted our parents a stay at Shawn & Edward's property for the second time now for Christmas. They both came back saying it was incredibly relaxing and cozy, they enjoyed the proximity to North Shore sights like Split Rock lighthouse, the Onion River, and other hiking trails, and the sauna was wonderful. I know they would love to come back.They also really enjoyed their interactions with Shawn & Edward and were thankful for their warm welcome. I also want to thank Shawn & Edward for helping them check in, as I was out of the country and didn't receive the texts they had sent. Thank you for the extra patience and care!

Time for two sisters to reconnect
We loved the setting - the view of the water and the surrounding woods with the perfect clearing for a campfire. And we loved the simple and thoughtful design of the cabin and its furnishings that made it easy to relax and rejuvenate. On our last night, the clouds blew away and we could stare at the stars through the cabin windows.

Charming cabin with a great view!
We loved our stay at the Tettegouche Log Cabin! It is a very lovely, charming cabin true to the photos. Very private, great location, and the views of Lake Superior are wonderful. We really enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch and using the front deck. This cabin inspires me want to build my own log cabin! I also really enjoyed the books the owners have on-site for the location. I used the waterfalls of the north shore to find several waterfalls I had never been to. Our only feedback was the refrigerator/freezer was dripping water onto our food and created some puddles inside. I am only sharing in case it needs to be fixed or looked at. We would definitely stay here again!

Late Summer Getaway
Shawn was an awesome host and the listing was accurate. We worried that the kitchen might be a challenge, but in reality we had everything we needed. The spiral stairs up to the sleeping loft were intimidating to us 70yo guests, but we managed to make it work! You should know that the only TV in this property is in the sleeping loft and it doesn’t really accommodate adults watching tv. Also the furniture in the living space is well-loved and not very comfortable if you’re hanging out reading books on a rainy day. Part of that is due to the fact that one of the pieces is a futon, so it sits very deep and firm. We enjoyed our stay but wished for more comfortable furniture.

VERY Secluded Cabin on Bluff
Beautiful, quite area about 1hr north of Duluth. Cabin is very impressive, hand built by property owners. Amazing views of Lake Superior, small lakeside towns are just a short drive away. Odd property as base of bluff, not sure what's going on there, but it looks like it's up for sale. If you're looking for some peace and quite away from it all, this cabin definitely is the place to be!

Serenity and adventure at your doorstep!
We were looking for a cabin getaway and this stay surpassed our expectations. This is a beautifully crafted cabin with truly amazing views. Shawn and Ed's recommendations were excellent and spot on. The peace and quiet of the cabin after a day of hiking and sightseeing brought a lasting sense of calm that is rare to find or replicate in today's daily grind. It is worth noting that highway noise was noticeable at times during the day but the views absolutely made up for it. Also, the skylight at night during a thunderstorm was amazing. Thank you Shawn and Ed for opening up your place to us. This is a true Minnesota experience. We will absolutely be back!

We had a lovely time in this cabin. The fire pit is perfect, with comfortable chairs. A marshmallow/hot dog roasting stick in the kitchen! Excellent Weber gas grill. Didn't try the sauna but it looked amazing. Generous supply of firewood. Skylight provided lovely nighttime views. We did not hear any other people in the area, aside from faint noise from the highway.

This cozy little cabin in the woods exceeded our expectations. It has everything you need for a private getaway to the woods. The private wood-fired sauna was amazing. It was so delightful and relaxing, we barely wanted to leave to explore all that is nearby, of which there is quite a lot.
