Beautiful cabin on lake close to Grand Marais, Lutsen, XC, and snowmobile trails
Welcome to “The Cabins on Pike Lake" in Grand Marais. Voted the Best Midwestern Small Town by USA Today, and the Coolest Small Town by Budget Travel Magazine, Grand Marais has a lot to offer. We are delighted to host you in our two luxurious and comfortable cabins on beautiful Pike Lake. Thank you for considering us for your next vacation get-away.
The Cabins When you stay with us, you have 2 options: For groups of 4 or less, the Main Cabin is perfect. For more space and privacy, you can also rent guest cabin for an additional $150/night. For groups of 5-7 you must rent both the main cabin AND the guest cabin. We cannot accommodate groups of more than 7.
Please note that the charge for the guest cabin will not automatically appear on the pricing. The owner will have to manually enter the charge after the guest requests the pricing.
These traditional cabins have been meticulously updated for modern living without compromising their North Shore Arrowhead heritage. They sit just across the yard from each other yet still have ample space between them to offer privacy. The Main Cabin has two bedrooms and the Guest Cabin is a studio. Each has a contemporary kitchen and bath, a gas fireplace, and a lake-facing deck. We offer a wonderful shared space for families and multi-family vacations. We do not rent the cabins separately, so when you rent with us, the property is exclusively yours.
A third building, a renovated boathouse, serves as a screened porch, and is located a few feet from the shoreline. It is a wonderful place for solitude and a nice place to play games on a rainy day. Want to sit out under the stars by a fire and make S’mores? We have a beautiful spot, a slate fire pit also just a few feet from the lake.
Create lasting memories. Bring your family and friends to “The Cabins” to enjoy Pike Lake’s beauty and serenity. Swim off the dock and wade on the pebble beach in the crystal-clear shallow water – perfect for kids (be sure to bring water shoes)! Take a canoe, we have three - two usual sized and a single-person fishing canoe -- or one of our two kayaks for a tour of the amazing and secluded Pike Lake. Don’t forget your fishing poles!
Please note that we do not allow pets.
During the summer months we prefer week-long stays and we welcome weekend and midweek bookings through the rest of the year.
The Surrounding Area There are so many things to see and do, all year round, close by. Visit Grand Marais, the “Coolest Small Town in America” with it’s beautiful Lake Superior harbor, art galleries, and many restaurants – have breakfast at the Blue Water Café or pizza at Sven and Ole’s.

For that special occasion visit the romantic and historic Lutsen Resort Dining Room. The food and lake views are, like the lake, superior!

The cabin is very cozy and well equipped. Lots of hooks, which we appreciated because we were up north for some cross country skiing and had lots of coats, etc.
This was my second stay at these cabins and again it was perfect. The cabins were clean and the location was perfect for access to Eagle Mountain, Grand Marais, and Devil's Kettle. Thank you for letting us stay!
We loved everything about our visit to this Pike Lake rental. The cabins were perfect, kitchen very nice, lots of games, kids books, canoes and kayaks. Also a very nice fire ring. Definitely want to come back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful cabin on a beautiful lake, plus bonus space for our friends. The owner was a pleasure to work with and the listing accurately portrayed the property. We hope to return.
We rented both cabins and they were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The view of the lake was lovely and we appreciated the easy access and the canoes and kayaks that were available to use. The area is very peaceful and serene and exactly what we were hoping for.
This was a lovely cabin on Pike lake that was beautifully done. Great kitchen with butcher block island, nice views out of the deck door and windows. Would definitely stay again!
beautiful cabin stay near Grand Marais. we were able to explore and get some great hikes in around the north shore and used this as a place to stay. overall great cabin experience.
The cabin is a really special place and we enjoy returning whenever we can. The lake is beautiful and it's fantastic to have the kayaks available for use. Bernard is a great host and communication is always seamless.
We try to come here every summer and once again our stay was wonderful! The cabin is so cozy, I love all the decor. The bed is super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and everything was very clean. We love how quiet and peaceful the location is. Close enough to enjoy time in Grand Marais and yet away from the crowds. We hiked to Hidden Falls for the first time and the parking lot for the trailhead was just a few minute drive from the cabin. We love it here and hope to come back again next year!
The cabin was exactly what we needed! We rented the smaller cabin along with the main, and it was perfect for our family. The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed the use of the canoes and kayaks. The weather didn't get warm enough to get in the water, but we will definitely book again for a warmer time of year!
Beautiful cabin! The owners really seem to be focused on their renters experienc, it was all 1st class. Great touch with a small bottle of wine and coffee samplers, plus everything else you need for a stay.
This was a beautiful cabin, fully appointed and comfortable. Awesome selection of books, games and puzzles. The drive to the cabin was on a hard pack dirt road and was about a 7 mile drive. It wasn’t a 100% clear that to have the 3 listed bedrooms and 2 bathrooms you have to rent the smaller cabin as well. The walls in the bedrooms didn’t go to the ceiling so that’s just something to know, however, overall it was just lovely
This home is perfect!! We had 4 adults and we were comfortable in the main cabin!! Owner was very responsive with questions, the amenities were top notch, it was clean and comfortable! I highly recommend this cabin ifYou arelooking for a quiet place to rest and relax!!

Why they chose this property
The Cabins at Pike Lake offer a unique setting with the main cabin and the guest cabin both being available to rent and they both have a waterfront setting. Whether you need one cabin or both to accommodate your family and friends you'll find them both to be amazingly comfortable and well-suited to discerning tastes. The clean waters of Pike Lake are just outside the door and the dock, canoe and row boat are all there for your use. A beautiful slate bonfire area sits lakeside, too. Listen to the crackle of the fire and the waves. Pike Lake is a good fishing lake, too, so don't forget your poles/tackle.
What makes this property unique
Two cabins on the shores of Pike Lake and just a few steps to the water's edge. Wildlife, call of the loons, , quiet & serene setting, proximity to downtown Grand Marais, quality of the lodging itself...what more does one need in a private get-away!
