Photos and Description of this Minnesota holiday house Home, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Most comfortable for 8 people - 10 Maximum)

This property is located on a small quiet lake in the heart of Superior National Forest, only 4 miles from the southern boundary of the B.W.C.A. Big red and white pines dot the premises, providing nesting habitat for the eagles that make their homes here. This hand scribed full log house has a genuine 'Northwoods' feel to it. A fully vaulted main room faces the lake, bringing the outdoors right in through a full wall of glass. The loft offers a special place for kids or adults to have their own space up in the treetops. Spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed from the living room, the deck or better yet a canoe. A gas fireplace completes the relaxed ambiance.

Isabella, Minnesota, USA (Halfway between Ely and Lake Superior on scenic Highway 1). For those who enjoy nature and being close to it, this is the ideal vacation spot. Due to being one of the more remote areas of Superior National Forest, many types of wildlife are present. Moose especially like this area, and on occasion can be seen swimming in the lake. Timber wolves, great horned owls, foxes, fishers, and other 'shy' forest creatures are seen and heard, often at unexpected times. It has been said that there is more wilderness right here than in the B.W.C.A. and they maybe right. The surrounding area is very sparsely populated and offers many opportunities for exploring. The U.S. Forest Service maintains a number of hiking trails, picnic areas and public accesses to lakes large and small. Day trips to the B.W.C.A. wilderness are also a possibility.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Minnesota, USA

If you are looking for a 'self-directed' type of vacation, this is it. Lake Gegoka offers good fishing (especially for northerns), canoeing and swimming. Our canoes, 14ft row boat and 2 person paddle boat provide a number of ways to explore the lake and are included in the rental price. The lakeside campfire ring is the perfect place to pull up a chair, make s'mores and relax at the end of the day. Lake Gegoka is a shallow lake and warms up quickly. Close by is a public swimming beach on Flathorn Lake which is much cooler. There is a very scenic hiking trail around the lake and also a public picnic area.

Lake Superior's North Shore is only about 30 minutes away and provides yet another day's activities, including the Superior Hiking Trail. Going in the other direction, Ely is also a 30 minute drive and has a variety of restaurants and shops, including two of our favorites - Piragis Northwoods Company and Lisa's 2nd Floor Book Store right above it. A visit to the International Wolf Center is a popular outing and should be on everyone's list. If you have a little more time, the Soudan Mine is a fascinating look back in time to 'hard rock' underground mining on the Range in the early 1900's. Whatever you decide to do get out and explore or get the perfect northwoods gift or just kick back and enjoy the solitude, you will be able to do it all here.

Other Activities: shopping, kayaking, wildlife viewing, boating, rock climbing, cross country skiing
