Directions & Parking
3113 East Highway 61 Grand Marais, MN 55604*Google Maps doesn't always get the pin correct as it is a new address.
​
From Grand Marais, go north on HWY 61 for 9 miles to Colvill then turn left onto 3113 (blue fire number on side of highway). Our entrance is on the right entrance of the two roads, not the entrance with the black cedar gate. Drive up the dirt road driveway up the hill until you see the cabin at the left of the fork at the top of the hill.
The driveway is plowed and maintained however it steep. We recommend a 4/AWD vehicle. If for any reason guests cannot make it up the driveway, guests are fully responsible for removing the vehicle from the driveway to leave it clear for other traffic. Guests can also park at the bottom of the hill (LEFT & RIGHT OUTER ENTRANCE OF DRIVEWAY) just in front of the first cabin you see at the left of the driveway entrance if worried about driving up hill. Please pull all the way into the lower cabin driveway without blocking other traffic if you use the lower lot.
Parking spaces are just behind the cabin. Please do not try to turn cars around or park next to the outhouse space just beside the cabin. Use the lower lot to back-out and turn around.
​
​

Drinking & Wash Water
We have drinking water in the two blue jugs that are provided. If you need more please contact us in advance to arrange replenishing the jugs for you if they run low during your stay (not common). Typically 2 gallons will last 2 days per couple.
Wash Water: Rain barrels catch all wash water in warmer months. This water is not suitable for drinking. In the winter you can melt snow on the stovetop (not the fireplace).
​
**Winter Months: Nov-April guests provide their own drinking and wash water due to freezing temps. 2 gallons/day is typically what is used.
Fire Pit
Open May - Oct. Guests are open to to use it in winter months but are responsible for removing snow from the fire pit to use. DO NOT throw axe into or strip bark off the trees. This will kill the trees. Some guests have done this and we kindly ask that you get deadfall for kindling on the ground. Check the fire hazard at: www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html ***If it is extreme no fires are allowed.
Solar Power & Lighting
There is a solar powered system supporting the lighting for the cabin. The solar powered battery pack can be used to charge small electronics such as phones and possibly a computer. There is a Halo battery pack which can be used as a backup for cloudy days.
​
*There are two battery powered string lights on the beams above the bed in the loft for night lighting. Extra batteries are in the white bin below kitchen counter.
​
Do not use the gas lamp under any circumstance. It is a fire hazard with the curtains.
​
​
Sauna
The sauna is located just at the fork between the two cabins in the driveway. There's a path through the fence just behind the cabin near the driveway. There is a reservation sheet on the door of the sauna to reserve your time as this is shared with the one other cabin on the property. Please be sure to also add the date of your reserved hours. **Return shampoos with you to cabin after using as they will freeze in sauna** Guests use sauna at their own risk.
