About this property

Private Shoreline on Lake Superior

  • Escape to this stylish one-bedroom "glamping" cabin perched along 500 feet of private Lake Superior shoreline.

    Perfect for a peaceful retreat or a romantic getaway, this cozy cabin features a queen pullout bed and a veranda where you can sip your morning coffee. A thoughtfully off-grid cabin with modern comforts.

    This fully heated retreat features a cozy wood-burning stove and an incredibly comfortable Room & Board queen pull-out bed. Just 20 yards from the shoreline, the cabin offers immediate access to the water—complete with a dock perfect for morning coffee, sunsets, or simply listening to the waves.

    Enjoy an outdoor shower (seasonally) with hot water, and a heated outhouse that makes off-grid living feel surprisingly luxurious. You’ll have over 1,000 feet of completely private shoreline to explore, with no neighbors in sight or sound. It’s peaceful, secluded, and unmistakably North Shore.

    Stylish, affordable, and deeply private—this is one of the best hidden escapes on Lake Superior.

    We provide coffee, sheets, pillows, and bedding so you can relax the moment you arrive. Note: there is no running water. Please bring drinking water for your stay. There is no indoor plumbing.

    20 minutes to Grand Marais and even closer to inland lake hiking and fishing. Simple, serene, and unforgettable—your Lake Superior adventure awaits.

Amazing spot nestled upon the Lake Superior shore. We were only able to enjoy it for one night due to the wildfires but I’d recommend for a rustic weekend away. Host was very understanding and helpful. Can’t wait to come back in Fall

Superior "Glamping"

The two of us enjoyed a fantastic, rejuvenating, secluded few days at this wonderful location. Beautiful views, infrastructure upgrades including a new outdoor shower, and thoughtful touches like a Nespresso for morning coffee made this property impressive and truly one-of-a-kind. We especially appreciated the quick, informative, ongoing communication from the host. We hope to be back!

Secluded Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a home base for a long weekend in the Grand Marais area. I also expected to cook some meals there. The good news is that the sofa sleeper is the best we have ever slept on. The cabin was sturdy and clean. On the other hand, there were some things to be desired. You will find a tiny corner cabinet with a coffee pot, a single hot plate and a small pot to warm water. Fine for morning coffee or tea. No kitchenette. Bring your mosquito repellent. They are ferocious.

We had a lovely stay! Beautiful scenery on the shore and the stars appeared magnified at night with such minimal light pollution!! Everything was clean and well decorated, but the outhouse definitely had some odor and bug issues. (I imagine that is hard to control however!) And the bed that is listed is the pull out couch which they had set up for us upon our arrival. There is a back up generator for when you run out of solar power each day. We were there at the end of August when the days are shorter and the generator startled us the first night when it automatically turned on. (We were told we would need to turn it on if we needed it.)I also wish I would have known more about their cooking situation (grill, side burner on grill, pots/pans, utensils available) as I brought a lot of stuff in order to prepare our own meals.Owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns though and we greatly appreciated that!!!Took a charter boat out of Grand Portage to Isle Royale and spent the day hiking. It was fabulous! Places we suggest trying nearby are Voyager Brewing Company and The Raven’s Nest (a roof top bar above Gunflint Tavern). We ended the weekend on a high with our engagement!
Cabin and outhouse. Outhouse had newly installed outdoor shower attached to it that used rain barrel recycling water!

What a beautiful property. The host was quick to answer questions and accommodating. I loved sitting by the little fire pit watching the lake and listening to the birds. We brought our paddle boards to enjoy the bay which felt like our own private inlet. The outhouse on the property was well maintained and much nicer than the ones we encountered in the state parks. Highly recommend the cascade falls park and devils kettle waterfall hike. Wood stove kept us warm at night, coffee on the dock in the morning. I will definitely stay here again.
