The Burrow on Tucker Lake - Hike In Cabin on the Gunflint Trail | Cabin in Grand Marais

1 Bedroom Cabin in Grand Marais
A five-minute hike through the forest leads you to the front door of The Burrow, our cozy off-grid guest cabin on a hill overlooking Tucker Lake. A unique experience on the Gunflint Trail, our hideaway provides an opportunity for solitude at the edge of the wilderness without giving up the comforts of home. A short walk down a hill to the lake gives you direct BWCA access from our private dock and opportunities for adventure and relaxation with provided snow shoes, paddle boards and a canoe.
Specifics
The Burrow is hike-in and off-grid. You should be prepared to carry everything you take in and out on your back. In winter you can walk the packed trail to the cabin without issue. Snowshoes (free with your stay) or backcountry skis are recommended to traverse the snow on the lake and beyond.
After parking at the trailhead near our home, guests take the .2-mile path as it gently meanders through woods of spruce, aspen and white pine before arriving at The Burrow. The lake is another 200 feet through the forest.
The Burrow is powered by the sun and heated with propane and wood, but still offers many modern amenities including internet. Visiting in the summer is carefree and requires little to no monitoring of the cabin's off-grid systems. A visit in the winter however will require you to monitor battery power levels and burn wood to keep the cabin at a comfortable temperature in addition to a vented, propane heater.
AT&T customers will have 2 bars of 5G service at the cabin, but the lodging also comes with a 5G capable iPad that can be used to watch movies, send messages, and create a personal hotspot to connect your devices.
The cabin's kitchen includes a two-burner stove top, a spacious mini fridge, basic kitchen utensils and everything you need to make a good cup of coffee.
NOTE: Potable water is not provided to guests. The Burrow has a sink that is operated with a foot pump that provides unheated, NON POTABLE water for doing dishes and washing up. Drinking water must be hiked in (or filtered by guests as you would in the BWCA).
The cabin's indoor bathroom uses an incinerating toilet, which might take a little getting used to but provides a superior experience to an outhouse. The bathroom also includes a wash basin that can be filled with water and a mirror.
When the seasons allow, guests can use an outdoor shower filled with water heated on the stove. In winter there is currently NO SHOWER option at the burrow. You can shower at the YMCA or Municipal Campground in Grand Marais.
