(In May of 2024, we finished building a wood-fired sauna and off- grid shower building at this property. Hope you'll like it!) For those who truly enjoy hiking the Northern forests or sitting along the rushing rivers, this is a good place to be. Unplug and relax in this unique and beautifully secluded cottage along the Fall River with acres of woods surrounding you. Open the windows of this off-grid haven and listen to the birds and babbling river below. Immersed in nature, but completely comfortable. Away from everything, yet only three miles from Grand Marais! ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Toilet paper ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility -

The cabin is really great. Quiet times, very private in the woods. Definitely a camping experience off grid with a bit of a walk but we knew that. We had a problem with lights and Justin responded immediately and came to fix right away. He even brought lights from his son to help. Really a fun place to stay for a new experience. Highly recommend and enjoyed this lovely cabin. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 14 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication A short easy hike in and a sweet reward of a well maintained treasure in the pines near a river and complete solitude. immaculate and Well equipped and battery and solar lighting--no electric but everything you need is there. Propane stove. Old well iced- ice box--plenty of fresh water, towels, firewood, dishes and nice porch with a sweet smelling compost toilet. I guess there is a sauna and shower nearby but I did not use it.
