This home and property is tucked into 20 peaceful, forested acres and is footsteps to the pincushion trails. A short hike behind the house leads to trails along Little Devil’s Track river, lovely to explore all year around. It's well stocked with trout for fishing, great for kids to jump across on the rocks (depending on season), and even good for a dip on a hot day. A ten minute drive to Devils Track Lake offers options for swimming, paddling, boating and fishing. A five minute drive brings you right to the heart of Grand Marais (America's coolest small town) and it's a twenty minute drive to Lutsen and great downhill skiing, mountain biking, and hiking.
For those who prefer to relax and rejuvenate during their vacation, you can enjoy Pincushion Mountain Haus' private sauna and plenty of room to relax and unwind. There are games and activities for kids and adults in the house, as well as a wide variety of books. Eat out at one of the many restaurants in the area, or prepare your meal in the comfort of your private kitchen. Get out and explore, or stay in and relax. 
Should you choose to venture out, you are only a few miles from several State Parks and Forests as well as the Superior National Forest. Take a drive further up the Gunflint Trail for access to inland lakes, perfect for watersports like canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. 
There are three geodesic domes on the property which are available to rent independently from the house (seasonally- May through October). They are located down the trail and out of sight from the house- please respect the privacy of these guests when passing by on the trails. Contact us if you're interested in more information on renting the domes! 
There is a private caretaker's apartment attached to the house which is occupied by the house property manager. The house is completely private from this apartment and the house guests have the privacy of the house and yard, but may occasionally see management as they care for the surrounding property. Our property manager will be able to help you if there are any issues that come up during your stay as well.

Pincushion Mountain Haus

Stayed with some family and friends and it was perfect for a group! There is plenty of space and seating for everyone to gather together, and privacy if you need some downtown. Loved that the house had three different levels. There are several bathrooms, sinks, and showers  which was nice with a big group. This place has mesmerizing views of Lake Superior in the distance! There is an epic trail system right out the backyard. We did some trail running and hiking.  We couldn't believe how close to town it was! Only a 5 minute drive and we were out exploring the eateries, shops, and activities. Would absolutely come again!

Perfect Location

The Pincushion Mountain Haus was a great place to stay up the north shore. We enjoyed the privacy, the view of Lake Superior and the home. It was clean and had plenty of towels and linens. the sauna was very enjoyable after a rainy hike to Devil's Kettle.  The kitchen had above average dishes and cooking utensils compared to other airbnb places I've stayed.

Great place to stay

We adore our time so much at the Pincushion Mountain Haus! The home is so comfortable and the perfect amount of space for families with younger children.  The sauna, comfy couches and view make this place hard to beat.  Being right on the ski trails is dreamy for us with our kids. This was our second trip and we can't wait to return next winter. Thank you for being such gracious hosts, Jess and Paul and sharing this beautiful spot with visitors. Feel so lucky to have gotten to stay there!

Amazing Winter Getaway

Out in the woods yet close to the city. Went up for our son’s wedding so the house was very accommodating for our group. Would loved to have enjoyed more of the surroundings,unfortunately time didn’t permit. Next time! Jess and Paul were very gracious host. Responding to all my text and needs before we arrived. Will definitely look them up for a return visit. I can see a girls weekend in my future. Thank you once again for all that you helped us with!
