    What's special

    Wind your way through pristine back roads to this quintessential rustic dovetail cabin. Nestled among ancient white pines, this sweet little retreat lets you shed all the unnecessary clutter and enjoy your connection with the natural world. Relax on the screened porch to the sounds of wind through the pines, the rushing water of Tait River, and the haunting cries of loons. Paddle the quiet waters of Christine Lake or bike the local gravel roads and trails right out your door. The Superior Hiking Trail is just minutes away, and a short drive takes you to Lutsen for skiing, dining, supplies and more. Simplicity at its best, this cozy cabin has electricity for lights and appliances, and broadband for staying connected. The baseboard heat keeps the space comfortable in mild weather, and the wood stove plenty of cozy heat in even the coldest of winters. You’ll bring the drinking water, but a rain barrel supplies water for solar showers in the summer, and a tank attached to the sauna stove heats water for bathing in the hot room in the cooler months. A composting toilet in the cabin washroom means there is no need to go outside on rainy or chilly nights. There’s also a tidy, custom-built concrete vault biffy for convenience and extra privacy. The sturdy shed provides storage for tools, with a covered area for keeping your firewood dry. Federal and State lands abutting the southwest lot line protect your peace and privacy. Enjoy this intimate nest with just your favorite person, or invite friends to join you as there are many options for sleeping spaces in the cabin, including a queen size futon on the main floor and a sleeping loft, bunk space in the sauna changing room, and camper parking with electrical hook up in the driveway. This picturesque escape is what cabin dreams are made of. See it for yourself before someone else snaps up what you’ve been waiting for!
