A year round wilderness vacation resort in Northeastern Minnesota, on the Gunflint Trail just north of Grand Marais, offering family vacations, fishing trips, honeymoons, horseback riding packages, women's group retreats, and family reunions.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving time
Indian summer is wrapping up with the leaves on the ground and an occassional snow flurry in the air. The deer are coming through the yard checking to see if we have the corn out yet.
The migrating birds have headed south and the fishing season has ended. The wood piles are stacked high for the upcoming winter months for those cozy evening fires.
Much of November is a quiet time in the northwoods, great for guest who like more of the solitude and personal time for reading, hiking, or catching up on a long overdue project.

Thanksgiving Weekend Package

An old fashioned Thanksgiving in the Northwoods is the perfect opportunity to relax and remember just what it's all about.

Then we add in your meals including a huge Thanksgiving Buffet which includes a haunch of buffalo, double smoked ham, slow roasted whole turkey, plus all kinds of side dishes and desserts. There are always homemade cookies, coffee, tea and hot chocolate at the lodge all day.

Our Winter 2009-2010 packages are posted and available for your review
We are working on our summer rates and packages presently.
If you reserve before we post 2010 you qualify for last summers rates.
For those times when you feel like curling up and enjoying a cozy cabin, we encourage you to enjoy our unique and well-appointed cabins including hot tubs, fireplaces, saunas, dishwashers, and even a washer and dryer in your cabin. If having wildlife outside your window sounds exciting, come on down to the lodge and pick up some corn and birdseed for you to stock the feeders directly outside your living room window. If bringing your pet would complete your home in the woods experience, no worries, pets are welcome here to Gunflint Lodge so you can all enjoy your vacation together.
We invite you to relax in our cabins, feast in our dining rooms, and play in our outdoors. A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with wildlife and panoramic beauty. That such an area as this even exists in a time of urban sprawl and expanding suburbs is hard to imagine, but it does and words alone cannot do it justice. The best way to understand this area is by experiencing it first hand. We invite you to join our family in an area where moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors at home. It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to Gunflint Lodge.
Bruce and Sue Kerfoot, your hosts
