Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
Serenity Lodge sits nestled in the Superior National Forest on the banks of pristine Ninemile Lake. The comfortable amenities and idyllic location make it the perfect retreat from life's hectic pace. Spend the day hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, snowshoeing, or skiing in the beauty of the Northwoods. In the evening, unwind with a good book by the indoor fireplace or star gaze by the outdoor fire pit.

The space
This four-season lodge accommodates a variety of recreational activities. A 95-foot path through the cedar forest leads to a secluded bay on Ninemile Lake, where clear waters contain Walleye, Bluegill, and Northern Pike. Seasonally, there are 2 kayaks and a canoe, as well as life jackets, for your use. Just up the road from George Crosby Manitou State Park, there is nearby access to a network of hiking, cross country skiing, ATV, and snowmobile trails. After a busy day of activity, unwind by watching the sunset from the dock or making S'mores around the outdoor fire pit.

This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin features an open layout and a “rustic farmhouse meets modern industrial” aesthetic. Prop your feet by the fireplace in the living room or loft, watch a movie, read a book, play a game, or spend quality time with family or friends. There is a smart TV, Apple TV, and DVD player for your use. High-speed, fiber-optic WiFi will meet all your connectivity needs.

The kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator/freezer with icemaker and filtered water, electric range, microwave, and dishwasher. It is fully equipped for all of your baking and cooking needs, including a coffeemaker, toaster, blender, crockpot, and electric griddle. Gather around the large, reclaimed elm dining table with place settings for eight. Additionally, there is an outdoor gas grill available for all of your grilling needs.

Cozy up on the queen-sized bed in the loft with an attached three-quarter bathroom and a sitting area with an electric fireplace and loveseat. On the main floor, you will find another bedroom with a queen-sized bed.

Serenity Lodge is not just another cabin in the woods, but an entire experience. It's ideal for a family or friendly gathering, romantic getaway, holiday destination, or to celebrate a special occasion. It's a place where the Northern Lights and fireflies dance...a place where you can unplug from the world and reconnect with nature.

Guest access
Located 15 miles northeast of Finland, Minnesota on a hard-packed dirt road that is maintained year-round. If you are visiting in the winter, it is recommended that you have a vehicle with all-wheel drive and higher clearance. There is ample onsite parking for typical-sized vehicles. The driveway is narrow and winds, so anything larger than a car/pickup/SUV may find it challenging to enter and exit, such as trailers and toy-haulers in the winter when there is heavy snow accumulation.

Other things to note
There is no air conditioning at the lodge, as is the case with most cabins on the typically cooler North Shore. We find that windows and fans provide sufficient cooling. We supply multiple portable fans for your use.

While we greatly enjoy pets, absolutely no pets are permitted on the premises. No exceptions will be made.

There is no landline at Serenity Lodge, and we are remote enough that there is no cell service in the area. However, after you are connected to the cabin WiFi, you can enable WiFi calling on your cellular phone. In an emergency, most cell phones will work when dialing 911, since that signal is transmitted via satellite, not cell signal.

We kindly ask that you refrain from using products containing benzoyl peroxide during your stay, as they leave bleach stains on the towels and linens. In the case of damage, we will charge for replacements.

Lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Both Minnesota natives, we met in college and married shortly after graduating. Grad school took us to the Pacific NW for 11 years, but Minnesota's siren song called us home to raise our children. The North Shore holds a special place in our hearts, and we are inspired to share its rejuvenating powers with others in this beautiful place that is Serenity Lodge.
