About this property

Rustic Retreat on the River OFF GRID

Retreat to this off the grid rustic one room cabin. Enjoy natures beauty on 25 acres of Gods Country. Fish the Whiteface River, hike, kayak, bird watch or just relax on this secluded land.

Cabin is powered by a remote start generator. Bring your own water. An outhouse is on site. We provide a 5 gallon dispenser of water during your stay.

We are approximately 5 miles from the welcome center of the Sax-Zim Bog. Perfect get away for bird watchers.

Only about 45 minutes to Duluth, MN and 40 to Cloquet, MN and 40 minutes to the Iron Range, MN.

Relax at our Rustic Retreat!! Enjoy all our property has to offer. We have trails on 25 acres where you can hike along the river and around the property without having to worry about seeing any neighbors. There is state land nearby. The beautiful northern land offers access to hunting, snowmobiling, four wheeling and much much more!

There are many ATV and Snowmobile trails nearby. We have two fire pits available for roasting marshmallows or relaxing by the fire. We have a grill to grill outdoors.

Check out the restaurant, The Wilbert Cafe located in Cotton, MN, just 10 minutes from the cabin. The El Toro is next door if you want to grab a burger and a drink. Simek farm is just down the road, only one mile away. They have live music in the fall, hay rides and lots of activities during the fall months. The colors are breathtaking in the fall with the leaves.

If you need anything we are just a message away! We are excited to host you.

If you are interested in an ON GRID experience, check out our other VRBO located in Brookston, MN called Rustic Cottage on the River.

The outside shower is only available during the warmer months of May - September.

Security: We have three actively recording cameras overlooking the front yard to where you access the cabin and screenhouse areas. There is also one actively recording camera facing the driveway. All devices are on the exterior of the property.

A true gem!
Absolutely loved our short stay at the cozy cabin! It was perfect for our anniversary getaway to relax and unwind. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the walking trails along the river and the large lawn while we sat by the fire. Recommending to everyone and can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing getaway
First we showed up and saw the property and right away we liked it the quaint and peaceful surroundings. The off grid experience was just what we needed.

About the host

Host profile image
We are from just outside Duluth, born and raised here. We love the outdoors! Fishing, hiking, kayaking, four wheeling and being on the water. We love nature and we fell in love with this place the moment we found it. We are so thankful and blessed to be able to share this space.

Why they chose this property

This rustic cabin is nestled in the woods on 25+ acres of property. We love the peace, quiet and tranquility this space has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We love that the cabin is an off grid experience. There is a generator on site that can also power up the cabin. The joys of getting away from the busy lives we live to come to this space is amazing.
