Hotel overview
Set along the shores of Gunflint Lake inside Superior National Forest, this resort combines lakeside charm with rustic comfort. Travelers choose from cozy cottages and camper cabins, some with kitchens, offering a homey retreat surrounded by dense forest. The setting encourages quiet relaxation and outdoor activities like kayaking, cross country skiing, and ice fishing through the seasons.
Campers also enjoy the onsite campground area with access to clean shower facilities and fire pits, complemented by free firewood. A snack bar serves light refreshments, while a well-stocked store allows guests to grab essentials without leaving the property. The resort’s no frills approach appeals especially to nature lovers and families seeking a peaceful, unpretentious stay near the lake.
Though there is no pool, fitness center, or airport shuttle, the easy access to nearby attractions like Magnetic Rock and Sea Gull Lake offers variety for active travelers. Friendly owners and attentive staff contribute to the welcoming atmosphere that encourages repeat visits across all seasons.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Rustic feel with an owner and staff who cares! Started off camping here 15yrs ago. Now staying in their cabins, even in the winter! So from romantic getaways to Ice-fishing with the guys, this is my go to!”
“We stayed in camper cabin 20, with room for 6. Very clean. Dogs are allowed. A small heater had been left by the owner, in case it got too cold. Overnight it was in the 50's, but plenty warm in the cabin without the heater. Very nice owners, and a well-stocked grocery and convenience store. Wood was available at a reasonable price for use in the firepit or grill. The bathrooms and bathhouse were conveniently located in the center of the camper cabins area. Beautiful area in the northern-most part of Minnesota, and only a short distance to Canada. Enjoyed the stay!!”
“We had a terrific time at Gunflint Pines Resort, stayed In Cabin 6 with two couples and a dog and loved it. With fresh snow we enjoyed incredible X/C skiing and snowshoeing. You cannot beat Gunflint Lake in the winter, feels like you are living in a Postcard.”
“I have been coming up to Gunflint pines resort over 25 years First with close friends and then my 2 girls were tired of me telling them what a wonderful place it is. So I brought them up here and the visits continue We made the 11th year last month and many friends and family join us. We cannot say enough about how great all of our stays were. Sherrie and Sandy are amazing. Especially with all the extras they do for us. My rabbit sits on my couch and a smile comes out whenever I see it. I hope I can make many more trips to Gunflint and wherever I can no longer be able my girls and family and friends will keep coming. Thanks for everything. Luv Bunny and all the Bunnies too”
“A very nice place to settle in during my Spring Break, so essentially mid March. The ice on the lake was almost 30⁰ and I was able to catch some lake trout not too far out on the lake from the resort. My cabin, number seven was wonderful. Sheri and the other gal (I forget her name) were wonderful hosts. A couple of cats were there to greet me as well. They turned on the Northern Lights for me one evening as well. I will stay here again. Bring the kids..”
“Beautiful location. Had a wonderful time. Crystal clear water. Looking forward to our next trip!”
