"Wow, what a beautiful home in such beautiful surroundings! Truely an experience that can’t be described through words or captured fully by photos. A must stay place!" - James, October 2024

Our property is located on a 20 acre slice of the Northwoods nested in between evergreen trees and Lake Superior. Hike our trail loop, stroll down to the pebble beach, take a sauna or enjoy the 7 minute drive to Grand Marais town.

→ CABIN:
The 18’x22’ building was finished in 2022. Many of the white pine timbers that compose the frame were locally and sustainably logged. It has 8 large windows and a cathedral ceiling making this cabin very airy, elegant and modern. It has been thoughtfully designed with one or 2 people in mind.

→ LIVING/DINING ROOM
Enjoy a 180 degree view of Lake Superior from anywhere in this area: while sipping coffee on the cozy chairs or enjoying a meal at the dining table. The propane Jotul stove and cozy throw blankets will make you snuggle up and enjoy the snow fall.

→ KITCHENETTE:
The kitchen is a beautiful place to cook light meals and enjoy the lake view. It has an under the counter fridge (with no freezer), a two burner induction cooktop, coffee maker, tea kettle and all cooking utensils.

→ BATHROOM
The bathroom is truly spa-like: beautiful, spacious and airy. It has a shower, cedar wood paneling and a white vessel sink.

→ ENTERTAINMENT:
There is a smart TV and a record player.

→ 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 cedar deck is wonderful for enjoying the beautiful sunsets and listening to the birds. The fire pit is only a few steps away and overlooks Lake Superior. 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.

Guests are welcome to enjoy the entire cabin as well as its near surroundings, deck and firepit. Sauna and hiking trail are also available for all guests.

We have shared cups of coffee and glasses of wine but we have also had guests that came and left without our paths ever crossing. We are happy and available to interact but we also deeply respect your privacy and always let you lead the way.

Agua Norte is located only 4 miles "North" of Grand Marais. It is the perfect distance to feel like you are in the woods but still run to town when you choose. Our 20 acre parcel of land is nested by the Northwoods evergreen trees and Lake Superior. You can walk down the driveway to a long Lake Superior beach or reach a few different hiking trails within minutes (Devils Track, Kadunce, Devils Kettle, Pincushion).

Our property is located about 4 miles (7 minutes) "North" of Grand Marais.

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 starting at time of booking to read and agree or to cancel your reservation for a full refund.
2. Please be mindful that the Tranquilo Cabin shares property with Agua Norte Cabin and Agua Norte Loft. 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 see photos for reference.
3. All guests must fill out a registry form upon check-in complying with MN STATUTE 2018​ 327.10​. A link to this form will be sent to you on your welcome message shortly after your booking is confirmed.
4. Our driveway is steep and can be icy and slippery during cold months. A 4/AWD vehicle is highly recommended and in the event that you can't make it up the driveway, you are fully responsible to remove your vehicle and free up the driveway immediately.
5. Agua Norte is also our home. We do reserve the right to work, maintain and enjoy our property. We lead very busy lives, specially in the Summer and we are in and out of the property often.
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 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.
