Gunflint Trail Mountain Top Cabin Remote Private

We had a short stay over the 4th of July. Everything was as expected. For an “off grid” cabin it felt like a home with all amenities working. The view from the cabin was better than in the pictures. Access to town and local things to do was great!

The place had everything they advertised and the property owners were quick to respond to anything that came up. Loved the time there.

This is a really beautiful property, where you feel almost like you are in a tree house in the top of the pines and jutting out almost over the lake! The views are stunning and the property was very clean and pretty much as presented. The downside of the property is that it is very, very remote and down a very bumpy, slow, curvy, hilly, gravel road. We came in after a rain storm and almost got stuck without four wheel drive, which I would highly recommend. The listing also showed wireless internet when we booked but found out through another review that it wasn't available, so I believe was removed from the listing. Cell connections to Canadian towers were not reliable. Again, it's a remarkable property but potential renters should have a pretty good idea about its remoteness.

What a pleasure this home is. Completely self sustaining with views that leave you in awe. Everything you need is here. We were apprehensive about being completely off the grid but with having Grand Marais close by it ended up being a pleasant thing. No interruptions or distractions to our.family time. Thank you again to the owners for sharing your home.

For being an “off the grid” home, it sure didn’t feel like off the grid living! The windows in the living room made the most amazing views all day and night. Sip your coffee and watch the sunrise listening to the loons, or watching the stars while sitting around the campfire! We saw more shooting stars and satellites in a week than we have in the last 5 years! It was amazing!! We had an amazing time fishing, lots of fish and not a single person on the lake each time. It was peaceful and beautiful. Over all amazing time, we will be back! We highly recommend staying here!

We had a peaceful and relaxing week at this off-the-grid cabin. You never get tired of the view - it is beautiful everyday. The cabin is extremely well equipped and the layout is really smart. The thoughtful details makes it easy to feel at home and to relax. Be prepared for no internet - there is no wifi. There is cell service from Canada. You will truly be unplugged. The access to the lake is great for a kayak or paddle board and the public boat access isn't too far away. Large driveway is super convenient for parking the truck, boat and trailer. The dirt road back to the cabin is very bumpy and can feel long after a few trips back and forth to get to 61 for day trips. It's not bad - just something to be prepared for. We enjoyed our stay and had a great vacation.

We loved staying here! Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. You cannot get a better view! The owners were extremely friendly and we had great communication regarding our stay. We will definitely rent here again!

How fortunate we were to find this very special property! It is homey, comfy and offers a spectacular view—it’s almost as if you are in a treehouse. The home is immaculate, and the owners have thought through the details. The kitchen is a dream—well appointed with many incidentals included. We arrived on an unexpectedly chilly day in September and were delighted to find how quickly the heat kicked in. We really appreciated the hydronic heat. The property is tucked in the wilderness and is ideal for those seeking silence. We came face to face with a young bull moose on one of our treks in—spectacular! We can only imagine how beautiful the views are in winter and summer. We would love to return one day. We should mention that the owners were very responsive and allowed us to shift our dates at the last minute. So happy they were able to accommodate us!

We had a great time staying with our young family of 4 plus a dog. Plenty of room to roam and have quiet time or time together as a family. Great to have time off the grid in a beautiful setting.

Perfect location, gorgeous cabin, stunning views, kind and courteous owners....5 stars all around!!
