Pioneer living in style! Sometime around 1890, a very talented Finnish builder crafted several traditional log buildings on Minnesota’s Iron Range. We are fortunate to have one of these well-preserved structures at the Green Gate property, and have masterfully updated it into a unique, historic home.
We believe big things can come in small packages. The Log Cabin is a comfortable and very well-equipped home in a small footprint. This 1890s hand-hewn log cabin has been beautifullyupdated into a modern, cozy space. The 15′ x 15′ floorplan includes a kitchen, dining table, sofa and wood stove, plus a full bathroom neatly tucked below the loft staircase. Thanks to the Norwegian owner (who also happens to be an engineer), this Finnish log cabin is equipped with modern mechanicals including air conditioning, in-floor heat, and a high-efficiency tankless water heater for endless hot water. To complete your log cabin experience, there is also a gorgeous glass-fronted wood stove and always a full supply of firewood available During your stay. The well-appointed kitchen on the main floor includes a 2-burner gas cooktop, farm sink, concrete countertops, an undercounter refrigerator/freezer, coffemaker, teapot, and cookware/serving ware for 2-3 guests. A microwave and countertop convection oven are also provided in the nearby closet should you need them. The upper floor provides a peaceful rest space with a full-sized platform bed, reclaimed oak flooring, vaulted ceiling, air conditioning, DVD player/monitor, and great views of the surrounding forests. Outside, the wrap-around porch covers the south and west sides and includes a custom screen enclosure for bug free lounging in the warmer months.

    The tiny cabin was just what we wanted. The pictures and descriptions were accurate. It is amazing how many amenities were available in such a small space...all the kitchen supplies, cooking utensils, pots and pans; fridge and freezer, etc. etc. The cabin has a wrap-around porch that allowed us to relax outside even when it rained. There was some road noise audible but not too distracting. Easy access to the Mesabi Bike Trail that we walked a couple of times in addition to the more traditional hiking trails in the area. Shawn was easily accessible and helpful. Would go again and consider winter snowshoeing and cross-country ski trips. We were unable to have an outdoor fire because of regional forest fires so want to go back for that, too!

    The cabin was perfect with everything you needed. You can see the passion and thought of detail put into restoring this building. A very relaxing environment. Shawn the owner is always available with a quick phone call for any questions you might have.
