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.
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.

The space
At Pincushion Mountain Haus you are just 2.5 miles from beautiful downtown Grand Marias (a 5 minute drive). Grand Marais offers a wide variety of locally owned and operated shops and restaurants for your enjoyment. With the Pincushion Mountain Trail System literally in your backyard, you don't even have to get in your car to access a wide variety of outdoor activities.
Enjoy miles of hiking and biking trails in the summer and cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking trails in the winter. This location is an outdoor enthusiasts dream come true!

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 the large 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. Or, head down the Trail into Grand Marais and enjoy the Grand Marais Harbor and Lake Superior.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the entire property, except the private caretaker apartment and the geodomes.
The private caretaker’s apartment attached to the house is occupied by our Property Manager who can assist you if you have any concerns during your stay. There are no shared amenities and our guests have the complete privacy of the main house.

The domes (a short hike down the mountain) are for rent independently of the house. Find the listing for the Ole and Lena domes on AirBnB for a great glamping experience.

House guests have the full privacy of the house and front yard but may see property caretaker or dome guests as they arrive and depart from the property using the shared driveway.
