Nestled along Minnesota's stunning North Shore, the Gooseberry Falls area is a nature lover's paradise. When you stay at Gooseberry Trails Suites you can embark on a ski adventure directly on the scenic trails that wind through Gooseberry Falls State Park, known for its breathtaking waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and lush forests. A short stroll brings you to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, where you can enjoy easy beach access and soak in the beauty of the largest Great Lake.
Escape to the Gooseberry Trailside Suites, a four-plex with four individual two-bedroom, one-bath apartments perfectly positioned for an unforgettable North Shore getaway. The Lester is the upper unit on the Left side of the building facing the Lake. This quaint apartment is located next to great trails, multiple rivers, the majestic shores of Lake Superior, and of course Gooseberry Falls, this retreat offers incredible access to outdoor adventures. You can hike or ski directly from the property. Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with a dining room table, ideal for home-cooked meals, and a cozy living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace to warm up after a day of exploration. Step outside to enjoy a shared fire pit for stargazing or unwind in the 10-person sauna, making this the ultimate haven for relaxation and recreation.
Please keep in mind that this unit is part of a four-plex so you will likely hear other guests above or beside your unit. We asked that all guests follow our house rules and abide by the 10pm-8am quiet hours.
Please note when you book this unit you are only booking the one unit not the entire four-plex, please reach out to us if you would like to reserve more than one unit. Guests will have shared access to the sauna and fire pit.

The Trailside Suite was the cutest little place and worked perfectly for our getaway up north. Clean and very welcoming when we arrived. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in Lester suite. It was very adequate and "just right." The location was perfect for the areas we wanted to be close to along Lake Superior. We would choose to stay there on our next visit!!!
Was a great place for our family to stay the night while visiting the north shore. Clean and beautiful view of the lake from our room! The only draw back was being able to hear the other renters, which was noted in the listing.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Glad the room, cleanliness, and lake view worked well for your family. Sorry the noise from other renters was a drawback — as noted in the listing this is a multi-unit property. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again on a future visit to the North Shore.

It was a nice place to stay for our mini vacation; however, we are disappointed. We had a nice fire going inside, but would have loved to use the sauna. We chose this place specifically for the sauna, but there was a master lock in place on the door requiring a four digit code. We texted and talked to a representative, only to be told to try the door or firewood shed code. These codes did not work. We asked for a call back, but never got a call back. Sadly, we gave up.

Carol - While we’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and were able to make use of the cozy fireplace, we are truly sorry to learn about the challenges you faced with the sauna. We understand how important that amenity is, and we regret that it was not available to you as expected. We’d love the opportunity to make this right for you and hope you’ll consider staying with us again so you can enjoy the full experience, without any obstacles.
