This OFF-GRID, solar powered hideaway is on the Knife River just a few miles outside of Two Harbors, Minnesota. THERE IS NO RUNNING WATER and LIMITED ELECTRICITY. WE DO HAVE WI-FI. The kitchen has a propane refrigerator and gas oven/stove. Solar power is used for lights and some outlets. Propane fireplace / furnace for heat. The "bathroom" is an outhouse. You bring jugs of drinking water. Hand and dish wash water provided. We supply coffee with pour over utensils, dishes, spices and firewood.
The space
Large windows give you a feel of being outdoors under oak, maple, aspen and pines. Sit out on the deck and enjoy your morning coffee or BBQ dinner. The river is only 220 feet from the cabin, so you may hear it when the water is high. You will likely see deer, snowshoe hare and a variety of birds including ravens, crows, grouse and many kinds of woodpeckers. A rare sighting might be a black bear or moose
Guest access
You will be 5 miles from town but "the neighborhood" is forest. Mixed hardwoods and conifers surround the cabin.
Other things to note
There are no showers, but in the summer season we supply shower vouchers to use at the city campground (Burlington Bay).

Where I went to school: St. Johns University/College of St. Bens
My work: Retired Educators
We are a family-run business. We are artists and former teachers who want to share the inspiring beauty of the wild areas surrounding the North Shore of Lake Superior in Northern Minnesota. We want your experience to be filled with wonderful encounters with the critters who live in the region, and a sense of wonder at the creative forces of Nature . We have both stepped away from FT work in the schools and will be spending more time making art and walking, biking or snowshoeing the trails in this majestic place.
