Eat out at one of the many restaurants in the area, or prepare your meal in the comfort of your private kitchen. Get out and explore, or stay in and relax. Should you choose to venture out, you are only a few miles from several State Parks and Forests as well as the Superior National Forest. Take a drive further up the Gunflint Trail for access to inland lakes, perfect for watersports like canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Or, head down the Trail into Grand Marais and enjoy the Grand Marais Harbor and Lake Superior. This home and property is tucked into 15 peaceful, forested acres and is footsteps to the pincushion trails. A short hike behind the house leads to trails along Little Devil’s Track river, lovely to explore all year around. A ten minute drive to Devils Track Lake offers options for swimming, paddling, boating and fishing. A five minute drive brings you right to the heart of Grand Marais (America's coolest small town) and it's a twenty minute drive to Lutsen and great downhill skiing, mountain biking, and hiking. There is a yurt and a geodesic dome (coming summer 2022) on the property which are available to rent independently or along with the house.  They are both located down the mountain and out of sight from the house, but are an easy hike down the trail from the house.  These are given first priority as add-on rentals for house guests for those who book at least three months in advance and would like to rent out the entire 15 acre property. Just send an email with your reservation requesting more information if you're interested in adding these on. There is also a caretaker's apartment attached to the house which is occupied by the house property manager. The house is completely private from this apartment and the house guests have the complete privacy of the house and yard, but may occasionally see management coming and going as they care for the property. Our property manager will be able to help you if there are any issues that come up during your stay as well.
