The cabin was gorgeous, clean, and exactly what we were looking for. Snowshoeing around the trails was a great touch. We will be booking again in the future! ##### wyatt a.

Mar 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Winter wonderland in beautiful setting The cabin is next to a running stream surrounded by beautiful woods. It has direct access to snowshoe trails and the Banadad xc-ski trail that go into the Boundary Waters. The location midway up the Gunflint Trail is perfect for exploring lakes up or down the Trail and is also not far from good restaurants at Trail Center and Poplar Haus. We loved our stay and hope to return! ##### Todd B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan L. Oct 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent secluded get away The Gunflint trail is already an epic drive but this cabin capped it off well. My wife and our two dogs spent a week here. We took day trips to hike, use the E-Bikes in Schroeder, and tour Grand Marais. The amenities were convenient and comfortable. The entire stay was beautiful and relaxing. We would definitely come back again! ##### Nathan L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon A.

Dec 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Get away from the hustle bustle My husband and I like to hide from the world a little before the holidays to spend quality time together in nature. We loved the cabin feel but the luxury of the larger tub and appliances. The property was beautiful and well maintained. The trails were wonderful and we saw a variety of wildlife. We will defiantly stay here again. ##### Alicia M.

Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely private retreat We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. It was relaxing to wake up with views of the creek from the bedroom window. 6 new inches of fresh snow made for fantastic winter activities. Evening games around the table and reading by the fireplace were a perfect way to end the day. This property was close to Gunflint attractions while still providing privacy. We will be back! ##### Caitlin K.

This is a wonderful cabin with a gas fireplace, big kitchen, comfortable beds, and a huge whirlpool tub to soak in after hiking or snowshoeing. There are many trails within walking distance for skiing, snowshoeing, or hiking. There is a big backyard and a trail that overlooks Poplar Creek. The host was very responsive and even suggested we come early to avoid arriving in a big snowstorm. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Naomi T.
