Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Norfee Cottage is a cozy log-sided cottage, tucked away halfway up the Gunflint Trail on Poplar Lake. The home is just 30 miles from downtown Grand Marais, Minnesota. Poplar Lake is 3 miles long and has 3 entries to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). This is the perfect place for a peaceful retreat. Norfee Cottage is roomy enough for six but the cozy ambiance would be ideal for four.

Other things to note
Passing through Grand Marais, MN, you’ll find the entrance to the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway near the public library, marked by a statue of a voyageur and a black bear. Follow this remote wilderness road roughly 35 miles to Poplar Creek, where wildlife sightings are common—deer, bear, fox, wolf, and even moose. In the spring, guests often spot mother moose with their calves, an unforgettable and increasingly rare sight.

Norfee Cottage offers a peaceful Northwoods escape—perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Enjoy hiking, canoeing, nearby trails, or a day trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Paddle over to the Poplar Haus for a bite, explore the charming town of Grand Marais, or simply relax on the lake-facing deck with a good book while listening to loons and wind through the trees.
