Welcome to Gunflint Lodge, Minnesota

Gunflint Lodge is a year round wilderness vacation resort in Northeastern Minnesota, on the Gunflint Trail just north of Grand Marais entertaining family vacations, cross country (Nordic) skiing, dog sledding, snowshoeing, fishing vacations, honeymoons, and horseback riding.

Gunflint Lodge has been hosting year around vacationers since the 1920’s. Guests have been coming to Gunflint for exciting adventures and romantic getaways. Our winter vacations are some of the best in the state and our summer vacations are sure to leave you satisfied. Here at the Gunflint Lodge, we strive to provide you with your ultimate escape into the woods.


The days are getting colder and there has been snow in the air.  The ducks at the dock have headed south along with the other migrating birds, and the forest has taken on it's winter mantle of deep green stands of balsam and spruce mixed with the bare spires of aspen and birch.  The mooser have headed to the high ridges where they find their winter feed of tender aspen shoots and maple buds.

Here at the lodge, our fall work weekend guests helped us put up our winter wood and got all our outside furnture stored until spring.  A new dog sled trail was built for a nice one hour ride this winter, and now we are starting to plan for Thanksgiving.  Two huge hams have just come out of the smoker and will age a bit before they make a contribution to our huge Thanksgiving buffet dinner.

Here are some of our upcoming events and packages that might interest you:

Thanksgiving Weekend Package Nov 26-30

The first Lodge Decorating Weekend Dec 5-7

Snowshoe Building Weekend Dec 11-14

Pre-Christmas Getaway Week Dec 21-25

Our planned unit development has been approved by the Minnesota State Dept of Commerce so we are cleared to start sales.  We have platted 12 existing cabins on the west side of our property into a common interest community and are selling 1/5 shares.  This gives each owner 10 weeks of use during the year, plus the amenities of the lodge--canoes, kayaks, hiking trails, all our naturalist activities and the use of the lodge for wi fi, coffee, cookies, etc. 

If this interests you please contact Bruce Kerfoot at 218-388-2296, or bruce@gunflint.com.   He is the licensed realtor in the family who has the details on this project.

For those times when you feel like curling up and enjoying a cozy cabin, we encourage you to enjoy our unique and well-appointed cabins including hot tubs, fireplaces, saunas, dishwashers, and even a washer and dryer in your cabin. If having wildlife outside your window sounds exciting, come on down to the lodge and pick up some corn and birdseed for you to stock the feeders directly outside your living room window. If bringing your pet would complete your home in the woods experience, no worries, pets are welcome here to Gunflint Lodge so you can all enjoy your vacation together.


We invite you to relax in our cabins, feast in our dining rooms, and play in our outdoors.

Welcome to your Minnesota "home away from home"!

A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with wildlife and panoramic beauty. That such an area as this even exists in a time of urban sprawl and expanding suburbs is hard to imagine, but it does and words alone cannot do it justice. The best way to understand this area is by experiencing it first hand. We invite you to join our family in an area where moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors at home.  It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to Gunflint Lodge.
