This custom-built cabin on Gunflint Lake carries a long history. Set among tall white pines and cedars, it combines nearly a century of story with modern comfort. Part of the original 1920s cabin still exists in the bedroom walls, and the antique fireplace remains, a nod to decades spent gathered around its warmth. A well-known local contractor built the home, and the quality shows. Custom stairs, thoughtful details, and plenty of natural light give the interior character. The updated kitchen has granite counters, ready for meals after a day on the water. Upstairs, a private open space offers room for extra beds and a large closet, handy for guests who stay longer than planned. Outside, more than 300 feet of shoreline provides easy access to clear water. A grandfathered boathouse sits about as close to the lake as you can get, and a heated storage shed keeps utilities out of the way. A front entry and mudroom handle muddy boots and snowy gear. The location suits canoeists, with direct access to the Boundary Waters through Magnetic Lake and North Lake. Gunflint Lodge and Gunflint Pines Resort are just minutes away, and the Border Route Hiking Trail is close by for anyone wanting to explore. Cabins like this don't come along often. This one-bedroom, one-bathroom property offers 1,234 square feet of comfortable living in a rare lakeside setting. Come walk the shoreline and see it for yourself.
