About this property

Secluded Forest Retreat With The Little Devil Track River Running Through.

Open May - November this is a wilderness cabin with beaver, eagles, mink, moose, and silence. We are surrounded by forest all around and our two neighbors are rarely heard from or seen at all. The small river is accessible right out your front door, and kids like to splash, catch and net things!
But so many things to do beckon beyond the cabin property it's almost overwhelming. The Lake Superior Hiking Trail (which runs from Duluth to Canada) is very nearby. Devils Track Lake, a rather large lake has good fishing and swimming is down the road a couple of miles. The galleries, food and music in 'town' are extraordinary. Grand Marais really has become quite a hub for artists of all types. The North House Folk School is a one of a kind craftshop with adult classes and the Gunflint Tavern features local and national talent in a funky intimate atmosphere.
Almost half of the people who stay at our cabin are repeat visitors. When you read our guestbook you can see the fun (and quiet relaxation) unfold for so many, rain or shine.

Secluded getaway
We had a wonderful long weekend in this cozy cabin tucked away in the woods, but still a quick drive to town and lots of great hiking trails. One day it rained, but we were happy to sit by the fire, play games, and watch the rain come down through the big windows. This was our second stay at this cabin and we’d come back again!

Ecletic Cabin in the Woods
A serene spot to explore the North Shore from. Great art, comfy and homey furniture and everything you need (including a wide selection of books and DVD's plus a piano) to make a vacation getaway that is memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Gillis

Host profile image
We inherited this one of a kind bungalow from my parents some years ago and has proved to be very popular spot indeed!
The cabin is very cozy in any weather, and is filled with local and family memorabilia. Chris' father was a famous jazz pianist.
We ourselves live in a condo in town and keep an eye on details that need attention or that would make renter stay a little more comfortable. By reading our guestbook over the years, it is only too obvious that everyone is enjoying themselves!

Why they chose this property

We mention our guestbook because it is so full of the many things families found to do, in great detail. What animals they bumped into, which videos they watched. It is a little treasure trove, so please do page through.
The pond is really just a woodland creek to be enjoyed for it's own sake, kids do get in, canoe or no. It can be hot in high summer and a little wading can go a long ways. We usually keep a little net under the cabin near the water there for frogs and what have you!

What makes this property unique

We are close to town and yet well off the road and tucked into the forest on all sides. The cabin itself is a gem and the glass wall facing south makes for a beautiful bright view. Large grassy (mowed) area in front with the firepit is nice to lounge on right up to the Little Devil Track river. The fishing (and swimming) here is for kids, but there are unlimited places a few miles away for various types of adult fishing. Beaver, Great Blue Heron, Kingfisher, mink and moose move up and down the river at dusk.
We have a complete circle turnaround for parking. The woodstove is modern and efficient with ample split birch firewood, and small European wall heat panels heat the rooms. The loft has a full mattress although many people, especially the kids prefer sleeping bags. Towels are provided.
You can see the water from our Artesian well flowing just outside the window, ice cold and pure.
