About this property

Incredible Hand-Hewn Square Log Cabin on the North Shore of Lake Superior.


You and your friends and family will adore this classic hand-hewn, square-log cabin. The 4 bedroom cabin was built in the old Finnish tradition on a very private stretch of Lake Superior shore line. The winding driveway leads to 5 acres of land that you can roam. Search for and find the abundant wildflowers in the woods or relax on the shelf-rock shoreline. The screen porch makes for a fly free environment - perfect for drinking your favourite cocktails or watching the spectacular lake storms without getting wet! This home truly holds the character of what one envisions a historic Lake Superior cabin to be. Many family memories have been created here! The owners, who live out of the country and can't visit very often, encourage renters to enjoy their beloved Finn House. Pets are allowed with prior approval.

About the host

Hosted by Charlotte Durie

Host profile image
Our great grandfather built Finn House in 1943, as his summer cottage. The logs were brought from a Finnish settlement and rebuilt close to the shoreline. His daughters loved the place, often spending months in situ. I first went in 1975 with my grandmother and father and like the generations before me - fell in love. My sons have followed suit. Until the pandemic I had been coming annually and have my artwork in local galleries. My love of trees and the wilderness was born on the North Shore, and informs much of my painting.

Why they chose this property

Back in 1943 the area was a lot less populated. Highway 61 followed a different route and had been newly put in. It was built as a summer getaway for my great grandfather, who was then president of the Northern States Power company in Minneapolis. Each generation has fallen in love with the property and surrounding area, and subsequently passed it to the next generation.

What makes this property unique

Aside from modern utilities, Finn House has not changed a great deal and retains its log cabin charm of the 1940s. Two large windows gave a fantastic view onto the lake, offering a mesmerising view at times, and others powerful wave action. The shoreline is private and includes a secluded bay and a promontory, allowing enough space to explore. Despite the feeling of privacy - the cabin is situated a couple of minutes from 61 and the Gitchee Gumee bike trail - not far from the Lutsen ski resort, the Superior Hiking Trail and Tofte and Lutsen. Grand Marais is a 20 minute drive. And the BWCAW is accessible via dirt roads inland. The hardest issue will be deciding whether to stay home or go out and play!
