Not only one of the most unique lodging options you will find along Lake Superior's North Shore or near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Superior Hiking Trail, but an absolutely one-of-a-kind experience! Our Tiny Tuloon Cabin was hand crafted by our Amish friends in southwestern, Minnesota and has a beautiful pine log interior, pine floors and a pine vaulted ceiling. My Mom provides all of the handmade quilts and my Dad contributed the wood turned items - it's a family affair!

There is a matching spacious log outhouse just down the short driveway from the cabin. We have received 5 stars for the outhouse!

Due to multiple safety requirements associated with a propane powered, off-grid cabin, The Tiny Tuloon Cabin at Points Unknown is not suitable for young children. Older children must be attended by an adult at all times and not left to wander.

Parking is next to the cabin after winter break up and before the first big snow. During winter months, you will park near our homestead and use a sled to snowshoe your things to the cabin. It is a short distance. Sleds and snowshoes are provided, if needed.

We LOVE pets and animals in general, but because we have sled dogs, you will need to leave your pets at home.

Amenities:

*Perfect for a couple or two friends and can also accommodate a third person. 1 double futon couch/bed below a twin log bunkbed.

*Full kitchenette with a small propane stove/oven, small insulated icebox to keep food cold (bring ice packs and not loose ice) and sink with a water jug and bucket below.

*Pillows & bedding included. Please bring your own towels/washcloths for sponge baths. If staying for 5+ nights, a shower in the main house is included. Otherwise, there is no shower access.

*Shared Amish-built outhouse close to cabin

*A small propane grill can be checked out from the main homestead

*The Kitchen is fully stocked with eating utensils, plates and cookware. A French press for coffee brewing is available. There is a tea kettle.

*Included in your stay is time spent with and learning about our sled dogs. You're welcome to schedule times to come out with us when we feed the dogs or visit them during their playgroups. You are also invited to tour the beeswax candle workshop.

*Don't forget to check out the Homestead Store in the main homestead along with the Scent from Nature Pure Beeswax Candle workshop.

The Tiny Tuloon Cabin allows you to participate fully in our lifestyle with traditional sled dogs. The cabin is just a short wander from the main, modern and comfy off-grid homestead. If you book a stay of 5+ nights, a shower in the main house is included. Otherwise, you can heat up water or melt snow in the winter for a sponge bath. The matching log outhouse has an amazingly warm seat and is shared with of our Points Unknown staff members.

Join us for a dog sledding experience, a Mindful Paddle or hike, a River Canyon Snow Trek or Wild Wander by day. Gaze at our ever-changing sky. From the screen porch, you will catch some beautiful sunrises and you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing overhead. Then, let the tranquil howls of the sled dogs enchant and sing you to sleep. When you're ready for adventure, you'll find our Tiny Tuloon Cabin a warm and welcoming place to start your day.

    A cozy, well designed and built cabin in the distant woods was my retreat last weekend and it was terrific! The cabin is just the right size for one person or two that enjoy each other. There is no electricity, internet, plumbing, or cell service but I had everything I needed, especially peace. The screened in porch was delightful in the evening as dozens of species of birds and frogs filled the woods with song. The propane wood stove was on a thermostat and provided charm as well as warmth. Fresh, delicious well water in a five gallon jug with a spigot was sufficient. And the seat in the outhouse was always warm. Seriously. I helped with the morning feeding of the Huskies and found the pups to all be well-mannered, disciplined, and fun! Linda, the proprietor, is friendly, no-nonsense, and eager help you enjoy your stay. I'm going back this winter for a ride on the dogsled. I recommend this place to anyone who loves the woods, adventure, and dogs.

    My study here was exactly what I needed! The cost was great, the lodging was so cozy! I loved getting to meet the dogs. I will definitely return and I am hoping to do a winter get away! Thanks Linda!
