Four upstairs bedrooms and a pull-out couch in the lower level game room sleeps twelve total. The house is very kid and family friendly and has a large indoor sauna for you to enjoy.  Immerse yourself in the surrounding nature as the house is directly on 25k of hiking, XC ski, and mountain bike trails…immediate access to nature out the front door but only 5 minutes to the charm of Grand Marais.

This home and property is tucked into 20 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. It's well stocked with trout for fishing, great for kids to jump across on the rocks (depending on season), and even good for a dip on a hot day. 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.



For those who prefer to relax and rejuvenate during their vacation, you can enjoy Pincushion Mountain Haus' private sauna and plenty of room to relax and unwind. There are games and activities for kids and adults in the house, as well as a wide variety of books. 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.



There are three geodesic domes on the property which are available to rent independently from the house (seasonally- May through October). They are located down the trail and out of sight from the house- please respect the privacy of these guests when passing by on the trails. Contact us if you're interested in more information on renting the domes!



There is a private 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 privacy of the house and yard, but may occasionally see management as they care for the surrounding property. Our property manager will be able to help you if there are any issues that come up during your stay as well.

    The Pincushion Haus property far exceeded our expectations! It was such a welcome respite. Everyone in our party was so comfortable, and the location was just a few minutes from all we could want in Grand Marais.

    We are repeat visitors so we were able to look forward to our stay with great anticipation. Pincushion Haus is a perfect summer destination for our 3 generation family. Thanks for everything!

    The Pincushion Mountain Haus was the perfect cabin getaway! We really enjoyed the remote woods location while also being close to Grand Marais and lutsen ski hills. Our group spent most of the time cozied up by the stove relaxing and telling stories. The host was accommodating and communicative. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough!

    We had the best experience on Pincushion Mountain! The property was clean, cozy and beautifully decorated. Additionally, the location was perfect and only a few minutes from Grand Marais. We will definitely stay here again in the future because Jess and Paul were great hosts and we loved the Pincushion Mountain Haus!

    Our extended family of 6 adults and 4 children age 4 and under had a wonderful time at Pincushion Mountain Huis. We had plenty of room to accommodate our group. The house was very well stocked. The location was terrific for trips into Grand Marais as well as up the Gunflint Trail. The little ones enjoyed playing in the yard, going on walks, and making s’mores over a campfire. A great vacation for all!

    We had an absolutely amazing time at the Mountain Haus. It's right on hiking/skiing trails and so close to town or a Gunflint day trip. We had a few families, so the fact that each room had a bathroom was a game changer. It is very kid-friendly, fully equipped with all the kid stuff you will need. The hosts are very responsive and so helpful. We WILL be returning! Thank you!

    The Pincushion Mountain provides excellent peaceful location with very comfortable accommodation. The fall colors at their peak along with perfect weather was icing on the cake for we 5 girlfriends who took advantage of many hiking trails in area. We found caretaker very responsive to a couple inquiries..
