The bunkhouse sleeps up to 5. We provide drinking water and wash water but there is no pressurized running water at this time, so no piped shower or faucet flow but we are working on that for Spring of 2026!

There is a front and back door to the bunkhouse, a wonderful light and airy feel to the space and yet it is cozy and comfortable. We know you will enjoy your stay here on the rugged granite and treed hillside of Lake Superior in it's natural state.
We are located across the highway from the lake shore but you can still hear waves rolling onto the beach as well as the wolves howling their night song...and sometimes during the day as well. Due to severe rain and wind storms last summer we are still in the process of working on grounds, including a driveway and better views of the lake. In the meanwhile it is a wonderful little cabin to enjoy.

Judge Magney State Park and Naniboujou Lodge are just down the road. If you bring bikes you can ride the under 3 miles down the road to it and hike the awe inspiring trail to Devil's Kettle!
Just a short 20 min drive north is American Falls, a boardwalk in to a gorgeous falls on the Pigeon River that is beautiful at all seasons (and is a great Walleye fishing river downstream).
We are 17.3 miles north of Grand Marais so just a 15-20 minute drive south and you are there and can enjoy all the GM has to offer. Most weekends in the summer there is something going that is a fun filled day. Then you can return to the natural woods of the area.
Our property connects to a 200 acre parcel of woodland that is trust land so you can hike or hunt that area right from the bunkhouse. There are no trails or roads in that 200 acres.
Between our bunkhouse and GM there are beaches where you can enjoy the shore, rock hunt, read a book or just take in the calm or lapping waves. We invite you to come and relax for awhile.
