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 Knife is the bottom unit on the right 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.

Great cozy place to stay! We were able to enjoy the sauna and easy access to the trails. We were just a short ride from Lutsen. Quick response to get the batteries swapped on the door keypad was appreciated.

Beautiful little cabin. You can hear the neighbors walking above you but it was the perfect stay for a few nights to enjoy the fall colors on the north shore

Thank you for the 5-star review. Pleased the cabin was the perfect stay for enjoying the fall colors on the North Shore. Sorry about hearing neighbors above — we appreciate the feedback. We hope to welcome you back.
Everything was very clean, pet- friendly, great sauna, beds very comfortable. It would be nice to have fewer decorative pillows and have more silverware and kitchen towels ( we had 1). Also could use some kindling for the fire place snd fire pit.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I'm glad the home was clean, pet-friendly, the sauna worked well, and the beds were comfortable. I appreciate the suggestions on the pillows. We will be sure to added extra silverware and additional kitchen towels. We typically have fire starter for the fireplace and fire pit in place of kindling. Had we known we couldn't have gotten you more. Your feedback has been shared with housekeeping and maintenance, and we hope to welcome you back.
Sincerely,
Heirloom Management
The location is great, beds comfortable, overall enjoyable stay. My complaints or suggestions are the bathroom is small, with nowhere to set any of your toiletries, and the noise from above…even if the people above you are walking, it is very loud. It also had a smoky smell inside.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jacqueline. We're glad you enjoyed the location. We appreciate your suggestions about the bathroom and noise, and will take them into consideration to improve future stays. We hope to have the chance to host you again.
For four adults (1 couple and 2 individuals) this space was perfect! The only issue is two people in our group are very very sensitive to smells. They could smell a Smokey smell but it didn’t affect their trip.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Zeina. We're glad the space suited your group well. We appreciate your feedback about the smoky smell and will look into it to ensure greater comfort for future guests. Safe travels!
The place was really nice! We loved the proximity to the state park. We could just start skiing right from the property. The sauna definitely takes a while to heat up, but was nice once it got there. I would say 6 people would be overcrowded in the space. We had 4 people and we found seating a bit challenging, usually one person would sit on the floor. And the entry way made it hard to get in and remove shoes/store shoes by the door. But overall, I’d happily stay again with less people in our party. Thanks for the nice experience.

Thank you Nichole for staying with us and for the thoughtful feedback. I’m glad the location worked so well and you were able to enjoy the scenery around you. I would love to reach out and learn more information about what we could do better. Perhaps we list the space for 4 occupants rather than the max of 6? - Paula, Heirloom Vacations
