A large percentage of Bearskin cabins and lodges are reserved one year ahead of time for prime summer dates, but we always end up with a few changes and cancellations over time. This page is regularly updated with a listing of current openings. You can also use the availability box in the upper right-hand corner of the pages to check your options. Or give us a call for the most precise information.
During peak season (June 24 – August 25) most Bearskin cabins are rented for full weeks. Cabin 8 and Lodge 4 are always available for shorter stays. All cabins can be reserved for stays of 3+ days between July 7 – July 14. (If you are thinking about next year, we always open up the week after July 4th week for shorter stays.) We also may open up cabins for shorter stays if they are still unbooked 2-3 weeks before the dates.
To truly experience the Gunflint Trail area wilderness ambience, especially if you make a lengthy drive to get here, it helps to be here long enough to slow down and begin to appreciate our unique environment. Our policy is for summer rentals to be for 3 or more days. Sometimes we do end up with 2 day gaps in reservations that we make available. If you need a rental for only one night, we suggest that you stay in one of the many motels in Grand Marais.
If your schedule means you need to visit for a shorter time than a week, talk to our front desk staff about options. We can frequently make something work for you, especially if you have some date flexibility.

Can I stay at Bearskin for less than a full week?
Yes! But you may have to reserve early to get the shorter stay cabins at popular times in mid-summer.
Cabin 8 and Lodge 4 can always be rented for shorter stays. We prefer 3 night minimum stays, as it gives you enough time to enjoy our area; sometimes we have 2 night openings available. Single night openings are rare; providing one night of lodging is a different kind of business than we offer here at Bearskin. For a single night stay we encourage you to call one of the many nice motels in Grand Marais, who are there for that purpose. Single night openings often may be arranged for groups who are renting canoes and gear from Bearskin Wilderness Outfitters.
Full week rentals are primarily for families and groups during the busiest, high-demand times of summer. Don’t let the number of days worry you if you are a fall, winter, spring or early summer traveler.
