Agua Norte Cabin: Lake Superior View & Sauna
Grand Marais, MN, United States
"Minnesota's Coolest Airbnb" by Condé Nast and seen on HBO's Cabin Chronicles, Agua Norte is only 4 miles from Grand Marais. With Lake Superior views and a skylight above the bed for stargazing and Northern Lights magic, our cabin is perfect for nature-loving guests looking for peace, quiet, and cozy, but still be near town. Sit out on the large cedar deck and watch the waves crash on Five Mile Rock, stroll to the beach across the road, take a sauna, have a bonfire, and hike our trails.
Good to know
- 7 minutes from Grand Marais - 180-degree view of Lake Superior - Skylight above the bed - Full kitchen - Private firepit - Wood-fired sauna with Lake view Our cabin is located on a 20-acre parcel of the Northwoods nestled in between evergreen trees and Lake Superior. The property is full of wildlife, birds, butterflies, wildflowers, and wild berries. It is the perfect spot for those looking for a peaceful getaway. → CABIN: The 16'x20' cabin was built in 2014. The white pine timbers that compose the frame were locally and sustainably logged, sawed, and treated by us, the owners. It has eight large windows and a cathedral ceiling, making this tiny home airy, elegant, and modern. It has been designed with two people in mind, and although we don't encourage more than two, it can accommodate a party of 4 in a very cozy way. → LOFT: The open loft has a huge skylight for stargazing, and it can be accessed by a ship's ladder. There is a floor queen mattress and a TV with a DVD player to snuggle in when you can't stargaze because the clouds have covered the stars. Just so you know, this is a sleeping loft, and the ceiling is low. → KITCHEN: The kitchen has full-size appliances, Doug fir cabinets, a blue quartz countertop, and a black walnut bar top with two bar stools. It is a beautiful place to cook meals and enjoy the lake view. It has a fridge and freezer, a four-burner electric stove with oven, a coffee maker, a blender, and all the necessary cooking and baking utensils. → BATHROOM The bathroom is truly spa-like: beautiful, spacious, and airy. It has cedar wood paneling, a beach pebble shower floor, a white vessel sink, and two closets. → ENTERTAINMENT: There is a TV and DVD player in the loft and a TV with an Apple TV in the living room. Please bring your own credentials to access channels on Apple TV. → SAUNA: Andrew finished our 10x14 sauna in 2019. It has cedar paneling and a wood burning stove, a nice size changing area, a large window in the sauna room overlooking Lake Superior and a nice porch to cool off and enjoy the view. While the sauna is shared among our three cabins, guests must reserve their sessions to ensure exclusive time and privacy. → OUTSIDE: Outside, the fire pit overlooks Lake Superior. It is private and the perfect spot for an evening bonfire. Oh, and keep an eye out for all the bald eagles! The big, tall spruce tree on the edge of the cliff overlooking the lake is the hangout area for these beautiful birds. It is basically guaranteed that you will see one or a couple hanging out on the three and being harassed by crows and seagulls.
Other Details to Note
DISCLOSURE: 1. We require that you read and agree with our Rental Agreement. A direct link to it will be sent to you via AirBnB messages shortly after your booking. You will have 48 hours to read and agree or cancel your reservation for a full refund, starting at the time of booking. 2. The Agua Norte Cabin shares property with the Agua Norte Loft and the Tranquilo Cabin. Closeness to nature and solitude are a couple of the reasons why our guests choose to visit our property, and we ask that you respect quiet hours and our other guests' privacy. Please take a look at the photos for reference. 3. All guests must complete a registry form upon check-in, complying with MN STATUTE 2018 327.10. A link to this form will be sent to you in your welcome message shortly after your booking is confirmed. 4. Our steep driveway can be icy and slippery during cold months. A 4/AWD vehicle with good tires is highly recommended. If you can't make it up the driveway, you are fully responsible for removing your vehicle and freeing it immediately. 5. There is a utility room and storage area in the crawl space below the cabin that we occasionally need to access. We do not need to enter the cabin if/when we need to access it, and we do our best to let you know beforehand. 6. The Northwoods is full of wildlife and bugs. Please be respectful of the animals you will see on the property. Spring and summer are heavy bug seasons, and you will likely have to deal with mosquitos, occasional spiders, and cluster flies. We do what we can to minimize flies around the building during fly season, but some years are worse than others, and they may come regardless of our efforts.
