Beautiful private cabin centrally located

There was a blown fuse, problem with the heat, but they took care of it right away, and it was no problem. I love the fireplace, and the privacy, and the porch.

Cozy cottage in the north woods

We highly recommend this cottage filled with interesting art, games, firewood for the fireplace and close proximity to trails, shops and great dining. It has everything you need for a short or long visit to the North Shore. Wonderful!

Our Favorite North Shore Cabin

My husband and I have been staying here since 2020, when I booked the cabin as a "work from home/social distancing" getaway. It quickly became our favorite! Peaceful, rustic (but not TOO rustic), and cozy -- the perfect North Shore escape.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage is in the perfect location for a relaxing get away. Secluded enough to enjoy the wooded surroundings, yet close enough to explore the nearby towns.

Another great stay

I’ve stayed at North Country Cottages 7 times and it is always a good time. Strong internet signal allows my wife to work while I read and walk the dog and enjoy the fireplace. Close to Grand Marais which is my favorite place in Minnesota.

Always Great

This was our second stay at North Country cottages. The cottage is quaint, well equipped and had peekaboo views of the lake. We could even hear the waves crashing. The fireplace is perfect. We will certainly be back again.

North Shore getaway

This property was well represented in the listing. It’s an older cabin that has the expected charm and limitations on amenities (basic bathroom, etc). Good location for getting to ski at Lutsen or explore the north shore. Quiet location off the main road.

Our 2nd stay at this adorable little cabin. Very clean and very cozy. Love the little touch of the little wild flowers placed in the different rooms. Owners make it so easy for check in and out. Hope to make the 3rd visit very soon.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We moved here from Chicago in 2013 looking to settle down in the North Woods and start a family. Our love of nature was a driving force. We were always trying to vacate the big city for camping and hiking excursions, so we decided that before we tried for children it would be great to put down roots somewhere very outdoor focused, so that our hopeful children would grow up surround by nature.

Danielle was born and raised in Minnesota and couldn’t wait to get back “home.” Spending time on the North Shore from the time she was 2, it always held a special place in her heart. Carl was born and raised in Ohio, but fell in love with the area on a visit in 2012.

We got married on the shore of Lake Superior shortly after moving here, bought our first home two years later, and were happy to welcome our first child in to the world in 2016! It’s been an incredible journey since we moved to the North Woods and the opportunity to become business owners has just added to the adventure.

We are so grateful to call these cottages ours, and will continue to put our time and efforts into improving on what is already here and so lovely.

We hope you enjoy your time here!
