Extremely nice a frame cabin!! When they say off grid they mean it, there's enough battery to charge phones and run some lights but not much more than that; and they supply plenty of water for cleaning and drinking. There is signal so you can contact the owners if you need and they are responsive if you need them. It's a little bit hard to find so make sure you follow they provided directions. The path is about a little ways so pack as light as you can because you have to bring everything there and back. The cabin itself is nice surprising spacious and very clean. They have lots of games if you get bored and there's a river down the hill from the cabin.

This place was perfect for what what we needed. The sound of the Fall River in the background added wonderfully to the offgrid setting. Beautiful.

We made this a stop over after a week in the BWCA as a transition back to reality and it was perfect. So relaxing and comfortable. Would highly recommend this over a hotel any day. Beautiful property and access to river

Secluded but still close location. Short walk on a trail gets you here. Close to grand Marais and everything you need. Sauna was very relaxing. Situated on a river. Bathroom is disconnected from building but still accessible from the deck. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts made this stay very easy!

I loved how remote this cabin was. It had everything we needed for our stay. The kids couldn't get enough of playing in the river. We most certainly will be back!

Perfect place for a fall getaway

We loved how remote it felt. It was also very comfortable. For being an off-grid cabin it had heat, lights, water and refrigeration (cooler with ice supplied). We loved exploring up and down the Falls River.

Long Weekend Getaway

This cabin was fantastic to unplug and get away for a nice weekend. The hills on the way to cabin were a little more than expected but doable. Pack light and have a buddy to help push the cart. The sauna was amazing and if you shower when you are done the water will be warmed up. We loved every minute. Temps were 40's to 60's and the cabin stayed nice and warm. No issues with the composting toilet, there was plenty of solar power, drinking water, blankets and firewood. Head lamp recommend. We did hear a moose down by the water.

Very good communication with host, when needed. Cabin in the woods was clean, great windows that provided plenty of sunlight. Very rustic. Fire pit was nice. Description of property does mention the length to get from parking to River Run cabin. Keep in mind that is a long haul up and down over tree roots. We managed, but just bring what you need. Plenty of large containers for washing dishes and such. LED lights were ok, but provided minimal light for reading at night. Bring bug spray. Sauna and shower were an awesome addition and a highlight that made the stay enjoyable and complete. A bonus for our stay was that we heard moose matting calls very close to our place.

Wonderful Get Away!

We enjoyed 3 nights with our 3 granddaughters 9/12/12. It was a little rough getting everything in & out, but we all really enjoyed the cabin. Our granddaughters are very picky eaters, so we ate supper every night at the cabin (so we had a full heavy cooler) Thank goodness they had 3 carts where you parked, to tote all of our gear in. The cabin was nicely lit after dark with solar lights. The girls loved the loft with each of them having their own beds. The outdoor potty on the deck did smell pretty bad, but there is also a porta potty where you park your car that could be used that smelled much better. Because of the drought conditions the river wasn't running at all & the hike down to the river is very steep. Loved it that at night we played games, cards & sat by the fire, No TV! We have Verizon and did have good reception, could even send pics. The last night sitting around the fire we did hear a Moose, Pretty Cool! I would recommend River Run for a family of 5. We know our granddaughters will have fond memories of this trip long after we are gone.

Amazing place. Spent 4 days with the family (husband and two teen girls). Loved the fire pit, the river, and the convenience of the location to town and trails. Plenty of water was provided, the compost toilet was clean, and the home was clean and well stocked with kitchen basics. We did a lot of hiking, so the sauna and bucket shower were awesome. It is a 0.2 mile walk from parking to the cabin, but it is a beautiful, well maintained path. The carts were helpful for bringing bags and food between the vehicle and the cabin. We would 100% stay at River Run again. For those looking for solitude, nature, and a camping-like experience, this is the perfect place. It’s like camping, except with beds, clean dishes, and electricity.

Magical place to be!

We absolutely loved our time at River Run! Last year our family stayed in the other property, Ferny Fern. Now it has become a summer tradition. It’s so nice to be off the grid, hike in with the kids, and have a camping like experience but with a cozy cabin. Thank you! We would love to return!

River Run, Grand Marais, MN

An absolutely perfect getaway setting in the woods. New construction proved to hold up over the last couple of years. Comfortable bedding. Drinking water and cleaning water for dishes, etc. was ample. Great cooking supplies. Nice deck Adirondack chairs provided. Solar lighting for deck, charging station and two indoor lights proved were functional. Light switch in main bedroom needs immediate repair. No solar shower bag provided. Grounds and trails around cabin need to be groomed for better access. Compostable toilet had an extreme odor and needs more attention to remedy immediately! Description of pack in process should include minimalistic light packs to begin then one can gauge their degree of ability to use the carts to bring in more gear. Marking lights, florescent tape etc. needed at foot ledge at the end of spiral staircase and deck so as to provide a safe travel to and from the biffy at night. Overall a very nice accommodation with a few imprudents needed.

Truly peaceful

Our stay here was outstanding. We so appreciated the care the owners have taken to make the cabin comfortable, beautiful, and sustainable. We loved the view of the trees and the sound of the river, and even heard a moose calling from the woods at night. Check-in and -out was easy and the hike from the car to the house just made us feel like we had even more privacy. Absolutely loved everything about our stay at River Run and can't wait to return.

Annual girls trip

This was our second trip to this cabin. We loved it so much last year that we’ve decided to make it an annual girls trip. The peace and quiet and cabin are all magical. A moose calling in the morning and evening is the icing on the cake.
