Off-Grid On Superior: Entire Private Cabin On Lake Superior

Immerse yourself in Superior's summer symphony of crashing waves and tumbling rocks. This light-filled cabin is located on 900' of Lake Superior shore, features 20 acres of native boreal forest. Marvel at loons and merganser families swimming by, and tracks of deer, moose, wolf, lynx, and coyote, who share the land. Enjoy the profusion of wildflowers, mushrooms, and lichen that make the woods and shore rich with color.

The space:

Off-Grid On Superior is just that, off-grid. There is no running water or indoor plumbing. An outhouse is located down a small walking trail and an indoor and outdoor bucket shower provides a place to clean up. The warm wood-burning stove takes the chill out of the air as well as a convenient propane heater. The solar panels support lights, a small refrigerator, and Wifi. Cooking is made easy with a gas stove and oven. We do not recommend the cabin for the elderly or young children.

Other things to note:

Please bring your own drinking water, bath towels, and sheets. Cleaning and shower water is provided.

Challenging and beautiful
It’s a beautiful property well planned. No running water and an outhouse. Solar electricity, which works fine if you don’t overuse it. We love the experience. It was challenging I’m 79 and my partner 84. We needed to be in reasonable condition to manage the challenge.

June 17-20, 2023 OTG Superior
Three nights. Enjoyable. Interesting to live the owner’s OTG vision. Similar to tent camping in remote locations, the property provides experiences and insights into what efforts are required while providing great comfort amenities. It forces planning and thoughts of the ecological footprints we create daily… water usage, basic personal hygiene and meal preparation including clean-up. The property setup accomplished what we were seeking- a slow down and an adoption of the sunrise to sunset rhythm. Any trip into the MN woods can be “buggy”. We were unfortunate in hitting the cycle peak, but that only forced more creativity.

3 Nights Off Grid on Lake Superior
Stayed with my son and 3 nephews. Everyone loved the location! Comfortable beds and great sleeping with the windows cracked listening to the waves.

Comfortable off-grid place on Superior
Beautiful location with all the necessary comforts. Clear instructions for anything that is unique about being off grid. Worked great for our group of four friends.

Perfect for Getting Away from it All
This is one of those properties that sounds like a perfect get away for some (like us), but probably isn't perfect for everyone. So if you read "off-grid cabin on Lake Superior on 20-acres of boreal forest" and got really excited, you'll probably love it (like we did). However, there is some extra "care and feeding" involved in staying at a property like this, like actively managing wastewater and trekking to the outhouse. But the simplicity of life with limited electricity, combined with waves crashing on the rocky shore just steps away, were truly rejuvenating. There's great hiking nearby and Grand Marais is a short drive if you need a meal out. We will be back again!
