About the host

Hosted by Joseph Laur James and Jenna Boyd

Host profile image
I grew up in Wisconsin, and these cabins in northern MN were our "up north"! I restored the lakeside cabin in the mid 1980's, and built the upper cabin on the hill overlooking the lake in the 1990's. This is my soul place to rest, fish and swim, paddle and hike, and try out creative new projects. 5 generations of my family have enjoyed these waters and woods, and we are preserving the legacy for future generations.

Why they chose this property

We have the BWCA right our the back door, and are surrounded by conservation land to boot. 2000 acres of lake out front, and 3 million acres of roadless wilderness out the back door.

What makes this property unique

The wildness, the rustic nature, the closeness to real life- chopping wood, carrying water, and feeling the wilderness all around.
