We are located 10 miles away from Lake Superior near the town of Finland, MN. We are on 30 acres of woods that back up to the Baptism River. We have about a miles worth of walking trails as well as some pastures with a few horses. We have several State Parks close by ( some that are only minutes away!) that offer hiking, waterfalls, fishing and just plan gorgeous vistas! We also are lucky to have hundreds of miles of both snowmobiling & ATV trails right from our driveway! Our site is at our barn. It’s a level gravel spot with a view of woods and pasture. Please note that the site will be in full sun all day. Suggested Local Attractions:Tettegouche State Park, Temperance State Park, Cascade State Park, Lutsen Ski area, Palisade Overlook, Black Beach, Trestle Inn, the Gitchi- Gami Bike Trail and the BWCAW. Can’t forget about all the beautiful waterfalls!

I stayed 2 nights with Sandy and Elaine when rain was forecasted for the entire weekend. It was the perfect place to just kick back, relax, plan the next phase of my trip, and get lost in my latest novel. I enjoyed happy hour with them on the deck the first evening before the rain came. Nice conversation and lots of tips that only the locals would know.

Their place is not all that far off Hwy 61 and Lake Superior. We enjoyed meeting them and exchanging some travel stories

We had a great stay! Our host Sandy and Elaine were very cordial and helpful with ideas of what we needed to visit. The site was private and amenable for RV parking. Could not have been better! Are the bow

We had a delightful stay here for a couple nights as we explored the North Shore. Sandy and Elaine were great, friendly hosts that gave us great recommendations of places to eat and roads to look for fall colors. They invited us to a happy hour on the deck which gave us a lovely chance to chat. We would definitely stay there again when we are in the area.
