Not only one of the most unique lodging options you will find along Lake Superior's North Shore or near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Superior Hiking Trail, but an absolutely one-of-a-kind experience! Our Tiny Tuloon Cabin was hand crafted by our Amish friends in southwestern, Minnesota and has a beautiful pine log interior, pine floors and a pine vaulted ceiling. My Mom provides all of the handmade quilts and my Dad contributed the wood turned items - it's a family affair!

There is a matching spacious log outhouse just down the short driveway from the cabin. We have received 5 stars for the outhouse!

Due to multiple safety requirements associated with a propane powered, off-grid cabin, The Tiny Tuloon Cabin at Points Unknown is not suitable for young children. Older children must be attended by an adult at all times and not left to wander.

Parking is next to the cabin after winter break up and before the first big snow. During winter months, you will park near our homestead and use a sled to snowshoe your things to the cabin. It is a short distance. Sleds and snowshoes are provided, if needed.

We LOVE pets and animals in general, but because we have sled dogs, you will need to leave your pets at home.

Amenities:

*Perfect for a couple or two friends and can also accommodate a third person. 1 double futon couch/bed below a twin log bunkbed.

*Full kitchenette with a small propane stove/oven, small insulated "icebox" to keep food cold (bring ice packs and not loose ice) and sink with a water jug and bucket below.

*Pillows & bedding included. Please bring your own towels/washcloths for sponge baths. If staying for 5+ nights, a shower in the main house is included. Otherwise, there is no shower access.

*Shared Amish-built outhouse close to cabin

*A small propane grill can be checked out from the main homestead

*The Kitchen is fully stocked with eating utensils, plates and cookware. A French press for coffee brewing is available. There is a tea kettle.

*Included in your stay is time spent with and learning about our sled dogs. You're welcome to schedule times to come out with us when we feed the dogs or visit them during their playgroups. You are also invited to tour the beeswax candle workshop.

*Don't forget to check out the Homestead Store in the main homestead along with the Scent from Nature Pure Beeswax Candle workshop.

The Tiny Tuloon Cabin allows you to participate fully in our lifestyle with traditional sled dogs. The cabin is just a short wander from the main, modern and comfy off-grid homestead. If you book a stay of 5+ nights, a shower in the main house is included. Otherwise, you can heat up water or melt snow in the winter for a sponge bath. The matching log outhouse has an amazingly warm seat and is shared with of our Points Unknown staff members.

Join us for a dog sledding experience, a Mindful Paddle or hike, a River Canyon Snow Trek or Wild Wander by day. Gaze at our ever-changing sky. From the screen porch, you will catch some beautiful sunrises and you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing overhead. Then, let the tranquil howls of the sled dogs enchant and sing you to sleep. When you're ready for adventure, you'll find our Tiny Tuloon Cabin a warm and welcoming place to start your day.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Newman

Host profile image
In 2012, I lived in the country west of the Twin Cities and cashed in EVERYTHING to make the move up to Minnesota's Arrowhead Region to live (modern) Off-Grid with my sled dogs, in the middle of the wilderness. I have Points Unknown which is an educational outdoor adventure business offering dog sledding, Mindful Paddling day trips into the BWCA which is just up the road and other lifestyle immersion experiences. You can use my Guest Suite or Tiny Cabins as your home base for adventure or immerse yourself more in the lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

Off-grid close to the BWCA, Dark Sky Sanctuary and the Superior Hiking Trail. Lake Superior is just down the road!
