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.
We are getting into a time when we need to talk about summer, although there is a little winter left.
Cross country skiing, snowshoeing and dog sledding
The Snow Season Continues
We are approaching mid-March and have experienced a warm spell. The snow banks around the lodge are down to 4 feet and the snow in the woods is settling. One of the nice things about March is the longer days and generally nicer weather to enjoy outside. Typically we get a doozy of a snowstorm in March around basketball tournament time, so we will see how the last half of the month turns out weather wize. We will either be skiing or hiking, but we will all have good northwoods fun, to go along with the cozy fireplace in your cabin and tasty meals in the lodge.
The deer are coming in to feed, with some of them bold enough to eat corn right out of your hand. John, our head naturalist, is keeping the corn and sunflower bin full at the lodge so everyone can enjoy feeding the 'natives'.

1-800-328-3325 is the magic number for our front desk and reservations.
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
Our Planned Unit Development continues with 12
existing cabins on the west side of the lodge. We
are selling them in 1/5 shares. This
gives each owner 10 weeks of use during the year, plus the
amenities of the lodge--canoes, kayaks, hiking trails, all
our naturalist activities and the use of the lodge for wi
fi, coffee, cookies, etc.
If this interests you please

is the licensed realtor in the family who has the details
on this project.
