Enjoy a Minnesota
family summer or winter vacation in a lakeshore cabin or lodge on the
Gunflint Trail, 26 miles from Grand Marais, MN at the edge of the BWCA
wilderness.
Established
in 1925, Bearskin Lodge on the Gunflint Trail is one of those
destinations where families, couples, lovers and friends return year
after year to create memories and relive traditions. For many families,
their history at Bearskin dates back three or four generations.
Once you've been
to Bearskin, you fall in
love with it.
It becomes your special vacation place.
Located
near Grand Marais, Minnesota, Bearskin Lodge features canoeing, cross
country skiing, hiking, swimming, fishing and family fun in a pristine
wilderness setting
on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
What
will you find at Bearskin Lodge? Privacy in a wilderness
setting. Secluded cabins deeply nestled in white pines and birch
trees.
Immaculate lodges ad cabins in many price ranges, from classic to
luxury. A
healthy, active family friendly environment.
What won't you find at
Bearskin Lodge? You won't find video games,
television or telephones in any of our accommodations. While options
for
communication are easily available in the Main Lodge, our goal at
Bearskin is for you to experience the richness of the wilderness while
in the comfort of our beautiful resort cabins and lodge units.
Nor will you find the corporate environment that defines an
increasing number of resorts in these days -- Bearskin is a family-run
business, big enough to offer everything you need yet small enough to
know your name. When you are a guest a Bearskin Lodge, you become
part
of our Bearskin family.
Each
secluded Bearskin Lodge on the Gunflint Trail cabin is surrounded by
the woods, separated from
the other cabins. No mowed lawns here; you
are in the wilderness.
Our eleven beautiful log and frame cabins
and our four Main Lodge townhouses feature cozy fireplaces or
wood stoves, fully supplied kitchens, and private docks,
all perfect for making memories. Private use of the hot tub house and
sauna are always part of your Bearskin package.
Bearskin
Lodge is a vacation
destination for all seasons. In the summer families venture
north to
our Minnesota resort to share quality time together. Old friends
reunite. Fishing lines are baited and the thrill of a fighting trophy
dances in the minds of adults and children alike. Swimming, canoeing
and lazy afternoons go hand in hand.
Spend your winter
vacation with us and you will see it is a very
special time of year in the north country. Snow comes early to Bearskin
and stays late, resulting in an extended cross country ski season – an
old-fashioned, real winter like you remember “winter used to be.”
Bearskin has more than 70 km of expertly Pisten Bully groomed
trails. Moose can
often be seen from our trails, foraging for food. Watch for the winter
tracks of wolves, lynx, otters, pine martens and snowshoe hares.
Spring and autumn might be the best kept
secrets on the Gunflint Trail.
The air is crisp and cool, just right for holding hands and hiking
though the woods before cuddling up in front of a crackling fire at the
end of a romantic day. Knowledgeable travelers appreciate the lower
Value Season rates, peaceful trails, and incomparable wildlife viewing
unique to these quieter seasons on the Gunflint Trail.
Bearskin is not just
a vacation destination, it is an experience.
Make memories with us.

Upcoming Vacancies
We
are close to full for Labor Day, but there still are some options
available at Bearskin. If you are dreaming of one last summer getaway,
the last week in August still has a couple vacancies. Those spots
are available for shorter rentals than a full week, so give us a call
and we will try to find an opening that works with your schedule.
September is fully booked in a few
cabins, but if you have flexibility about your cabin choice then almost
every date has a few available spots. September is is one of the
best kept travel secrets of the North Country. If you don't need
to make your vacation plans around a school year schedule, it's
probably the finest time of year to visit the Gunflint Trail. Days
are often warm and pleasant and there are far fewer travelers in the
area. You're more likely to spot an exciting animal and less
likely to spend your time swatting mosquitoes. And best of all,
our prices decrease.
October brings out the "leaf
peepers." Again, there are several cabins that are full all
month, but at this point there are still plenty of options
available. MEA is filling fast.
We are planning several Women's
Retreat Specials for November. More info on this coming soon.
