A truly special North Shore escape! Perched 300’ up on a dramatic rhyolite bluff, this property offers a spectacular 180° view of Lake Superior and Palisade Head. The log cabin was built by the owner at the Great Lakes School of Log Building in 2009, while the dovetail sauna was handcrafted by the owner at North House Folk School in Grand Marais. Large screened porch and decks, woodstove, in-floor heat and a turn-key setup ready for personal or rental use. Three miles of trails connect to the Superior Hiking Trail, with both cabins conveniently located near High Falls and Tettegouche State Park. Just a short walk to Crystal Cave Beach, with Gitchi-Gami Bike Trail access only 5 miles away. Fantastic stargazing, too, with frequent Northern Lights views. A rare combination of privacy, incredible views and easy access to all the best of the North Shore! Professional photos and drone shots coming very soon!
