Our property includes a large vacation home and three glamping domes which can each be rented individually or together. Our glamping domes are seasonal and available to rent May through October, with dome calendars open for booking on this website in April.

Our property is great for retreats for larger groups- please reach out if you’re hoping to rent the entire property together- we will do our best to accommodate you! 
Pincushion Mountain Haus
Pincushion Mountain Haus is a light-filled, Scandinavian modern retreat overlooking Grand Marais and Lake Superior. Four upstairs bedrooms and a pull-out couch in the lower level game room sleeps twelve total. The house is very kid and family friendly and has a large indoor sauna for you to enjoy.  Immerse yourself in the surrounding nature as the house is directly on 25k of hiking, XC ski, and mountain bike trails…immediate access to nature out the front door but only 5 minutes to the charm of Grand Marais.

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

Pincushion is the most private, cozy, easy to find, close-to-town retreat in the woods! The house itself is just as cozy as the photos look--the comfy couches, the fireplace, the subtle Scandi vibe....The on-site hiking is incredible with options for more technical terrain (or not!). The sunrise while making breakfast in the kitchen is unforgettable. The kitchen is well-appointed with attention to more natural cooking surfaces as well as each bedroom having its own bathroom-- key for middle of the night potties with kids! The in house sauna was my favorite part of the home and only adds further to an already grounding and soul-filling experience of being there in the woods! The proximity to the town of Grand Marais makes an easy pop in and out for dinner at Angry Trout or a short hike to Artist's Point! Thank you for sharing your treasure on the Gunflint with us!

The coziest spot for groups on the Gunflint!

We had THE MOST WONDERFUL time at Pincushion Mountain Haus. Our group of almost 17 ranging from age 10 months to 40 was comfortable, nourished and so happy staying for our second time! We love the thoughtful amenities, the comfortable beds, the cozy corners and the amount of bathrooms! It’s so easy to get in and stay as well as bounce out to all that Grand Marais has to offer. We loved hiking the River Trail and can’t wait to try one of the Domes one day when the kids are older!

Homeschool friends Fall Camp Week

This is our second consecutive Labor Day Weekend family vacation at Pincushion. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. We enjoy being secluded and spending time together as a family and shutting the world out for a few days. It is perfect and we can not wait to come back next year!

Wonderful!

This is the second summer our family of grandparents, kids and grandkids have stayed at Pinchushion Mountain Haus. We love the location, the spaciousness, the sauna, the hike down to the river - and so many more things. Check-in is easy, questions are promptly answered. The kitchen is well equipped. 
I highly recommend this place. 
Thank you Jess and Paul.

Perfect

The haus + 3 domes was perfect for our family vacation with 17 members! We loved all of the community spaces, large table, and the closeness to the trails and Grand Marais. It was a great place to rest and simultaneously have some adventures with each other. This is our 2nd summer here and we will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Anderson Family!
