LOON LAKE LODGE

At Loon Lake Lodge you are surrounded by the unspoiled wilderness of the Minnesota north woods. The Gunflint Trail area, where we are located, has changed little over the years. It is much the same as it was over a hundred years ago. The calls of loons, the hoot of owls, the eerie howl of a wolf on a moonlit night and the breeze whispering through the trees will take you back to a much simpler and less hurried time.

Winter at a Northwoods Log Cabin


The weather outside is beautiful today!  It is about 23 degrees and sunny with no wind.  It couldn't be any nicer for this time of year.  You may not know that we now are renting out the Shack for winter guests!  It is a great cabin with king beds a full living room with wood burning fireplace and a complete kitchen.  We just recently finished replacing all the old leaky windows with new ones and putting in a new high efficiently furnace.   So, even if you don't want to use the fireplace you are toasty warm.

The rest of the Lodge is not open.  It is like going to your own cabin in the woods except it is warm and clean when you get there and when it is time to leave you don't have to worry about closing the place down.

Lots of Snow

Here it is just the first part of December and we have had lots of snow.  Officially we have gotten over 25 inches so far!  At this rate we should have a good winter for all of our outdoor sports.  The cross country ski trails have been packed but not groomed as of yet and the snowmobile trails are still being cleared of summer blow down.  The smaller lake are frozen over but the main part of Loon and Gunflint are still open with much sign of freezing.
