The Beaver Lodge is cleaned and disinfected between guest stays, which are usually two days or longer We would recommend that you follow the MN. Dept. of Health's and the Governor's guidelines on strategies to protect your family & community and our family & community during your visit and travels to the Northshore. Lots of wildlife and close to points of interest that you can still socially distance yourself 6 feet from others if you wish. Our property is remote, extremely clean, thoroughly disinfected, and ready for your stay. If you have any questions about the cabin or area, please don't hesitate to message us.

This approximate 1400 sq. ft. cabin is located on one of the largest privately owned parcels (over 700 acres) nestled in between Gooseberry State Park, Split Rock State Park, and Iona’s Beach Scientific and Natural Area. It is located less than 2 miles from Lake Superior off Highway 61, about 15-20 minutes from Two Harbors or Silver Bay. There is over 7 miles of undeveloped shoreline that include designated trout streams and tributaries that provide some of the highest quality habitat ratings of any stream in the Gooseberry River sub-watershed. There are several large beaver dams that provide habitat for a large variety of birds and wildlife. It also includes several types of wetlands, marshes, and forest communities that provide an abundance of diversity for a multitude of habitat for birds, large mammals, and aquatic wildlife. The ultra-private and secluded location is gated for ultimate privacy, quiet, and relaxation. To access all of this beauty is an extensive private network (literally miles) of periodically mowed trails between 8 and 20 feet wide for low impact use. The private trails cover a plethora of the property to access this remote wilderness for pleasure, exercise, or photography. If desired, Superior Hiking Trail access is located just 1 ½ miles down the driveway from the cabin.

Our cabin is off-grid, no internet, land line phone, or grid power, but has power supplied from solar and a generator that runs automatically when needed, which is not very often. In rare instances on the hottest summer days, the cabin has air conditioning when natural ventilation is just a little too uncomfortable. So even though it is off-grid, it has all of the basic modern amenities we enjoy; you really don’t know it is off-grid. Our cabin is completely furnished and supplied with everything you would need, other than food, to make your stay memorable and enjoyable. There is a large kitchen and living/dining area, 2 bedrooms downstairs, bathroom with shower, and a loft for a few extra guests. We have local tv and stereo for those days you just want to kick back or use on rainy days. We have a few movies and LP’s to watch and listen to. Cell phone service is available from AT&T and Verizon, but can be limited depending on the device (Apple, great service Android, limited service - both on Verizon). The kitchen has pots, pans, and an abundance of utensils available for all of your cooking and/or baking needs. We have a BBQ grill and everything needed to flip, poke, or grab for your grilling needs. All of this overlooking a beautiful stream you can see and hear right next to the cabin. On clear nights the stars and northern lights can be phenomenal to see as there isn't any light pollution for miles.

We enjoy this as our family cabin and hope that you will respect, enjoy, and care for it as much as we do. The cabin is meticulously cleaned after each stay, but we would greatly appreciate if you leave the cabin as you found it… clean. We are available for any questions or concerns and are happy to provide you with an informative summary of the cabin, amenities, or other information that would make your stay more satisfying.

Please consider the following before booking:

We do occasionally stop in to the cabin’s garage (located over 500 feet from the cabin with ample tree coverage for privacy) to perform maintenance on equipment, trails, or drop off some supplies. We will respect your privacy, but we still have to maintain the property when Mother Nature’s or our schedules allow.

This cabin is remote and has over 3 miles of forestry and private road. On occasion, with wet weather there can be some rutting in a couple of spots, so those with low clearance vehicles would be advised not to book this cabin. If you’re not sure, just contact us, we maintain the whole road. We will not be responsible for damage to your vehicle. Upon prior request and approval, we could transport you to the cabin in our vehicle or ATV.

Being an off-grid cabin supplied by solar/generator, please be conscious of electrical usage. Please shut off the lights to keep unnecessary usage to a minimum in order for us to keep our generation costs down and keep our footprint small.

The wildlife is wild here, and most of them are more afraid of you than you are of them, but remember, they are WILD and not domesticated! Yes, bears and other wildlife $h!t in the woods and occasionally on the driveway and yard. We also take every effort to minimize little critters from entering the buildings, we use traps and bait, but on rare occasions we do get a mouse or shrew. If you find this offensive, this isn’t the place for you.

Absolutely no ATV’s/UTV’s are allowed on the trail system; ATV’s/UTV’s must stay on your trailers if you bring them.

No coolers in the cabin. Coolers left in the enclosed porch for convenience must not leak. Any damage to the flooring will be charged accordingly.

We prefer you recycle as much as possible; this eliminates a lot of garbage. Being the cabin is so remote, we take care of the garbage. On extended stays, we will routinely stop by to pick it up.

There is no smoking indoors, including the porches or around the buildings. For those that do have a smoke, please do it outside and away from the buildings, and please dispose of your butts properly.

The cabin has a septic system that handles human wastes and toilet paper. Please do not flush anything else such as sanitary products or wipes; there is a trash receptacle in the bathroom for those items.

Absolutely no pets. Your terms of a responsible pet owner and mine may differ, and irresponsible owners and pets can cause thousands of dollars in damage. If a pet is found to be brought on the property, you will be required to leave immediately and the rental fee and deposit will be forfeited.

A fire-pit is available to use carefully and responsibly. There is kindling and fire wood for your use.

We do have limited outside chairs and seating on the deck, but for larger groups you may want to bring a few of your own.

No hunting or shooting firearms during your stay.

We understand that accidents happen. We ask that you please let us know when they do; we can probably fix them as effortlessly as possible, which also means better chances of having your full security deposit returned too.

Please refrain from entering any outbuildings on the property (garage, shed, or pole building).
