Gunflint is waiting to welcome you We are ready for you-- to wet a line for some nice lake trout or walleye, to do some hiking or canoeing, go horseback riding or take a ride on our canopy tour. The mallards, loons and eagles have returned, while our deer have left us to have their fawns and spend their summer in the forest, now that they have plenty of eat again.
The forest has greened up for spring and some of our lilacs are even starting to bloom. The mallards have returned and are begging for their handouts of corn from the kids, and of course the sunflower seeds keep the song birds happy at the feeders by each cabin. The gardners have the grounds planted for the summer--about 3,000 plants came in on the semi this spring. Fishing is hot right now with walleye and smallmouth bass at their spring best. The lake trout are biting but have moved down to 30+ feet of water. We have had a strong catch of northern this spring with many at 10# and over. One catch and release weighed in at 22#. Our Towering Pines Canopy Tour is open for the entire summer. This year we will have 5 to 6 tours seven days a week. The trainers for our canopy tour staff have finished their work and have taken all our Sky Guides through a very disciplined training program, which is part of our certification to the highest national standards. As we move into June we still have accommodations available for many days, particularily the one bedroom units for couples. These cabins are available on a housekeeping basis, or in a variety of packages- Honeymoon, Romantic Getaway and Anniversary packages.

We are vacation club members, and we have experienced many resorts. Perhaps the most memorable qualities of this resort is the friendly atmosphere and delightful setting on the Gunflint Trail. This resort offers the adventure of a Canadian wilderness fishing experience without the hassle of crossing the border, or the added expense of licenses and passports. We were able to catch beautiful Lake Trout and Northern Pike in the 3- 15 pound range less than a mile from our lake home. The owners and staff are more than wiling to share information with you about where to go and how to rig to catch these beauties. This resort also offers top notch entertainment. They have on-site Naturalists who guide various activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, dogsledding, candlemaking, and many other educational craft opportunities for the whole family. The girls in our family were pleasantly surprised by the immense quality of this resort in every aspect. We enjoyed a hotub, sauna, and woodburning stove in our lake home. Also, the gourmet food served at the lodge is a real treat! Breakfast is included with your cabin, where you order off of the menu from many tantalizing food options. The chef will make certain that you are well fed before begining your day in this very affordable, beautiful wilderness resort of the North Minnesota Woods! |
Sue and I invite you to relax in one of our lakeside fireplace cabins, feast in our dining rooms, and play in our outdoors. A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with deer, moose, eagles, beaver, and much more. Our northwoods, just 6 hours north of the Twin Cities, continues to exist in a time of urban sprawl and expanding suburbs. Words alone cannot do it justice and the only way to understand the Gunflint area is by experiencing it first hand. Here at Gunflint moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors.

A new item of the summer that might interest you: Lee and Eva, our son and daughter-in-law, have opened a new canopy tour just west of the Twin Cities this spring. It is called Kerfoot's Canopy Tour and is out along the Minnesota River Scenic Byway (out toward Belle Plaine). |
