Gunflint Lodge
A premier wilderness vacation resort in Northeastern Minnesota, on the Gunflint Trail just north of Grand Marais (location map) for cross country (nordic) skiing, dog sledding, snowshoing, families, fishing, honeymoons, and horseback riding
1-800-328-3325

Welcome to Gunflint Lodge.
Our Minnesota wilderness setting fills your vacation with as much adventure or relaxation as you wish. Our northwoods pine and aspen forest, with deep clear water lakes and lots of wildlife, remains much the same as found by the voyageurs over a century ago.

The atmosphere at Gunflint is wilderness elegance and home-away-from-home comfort. We invite you to make Gunflint your place in the northwoods -- a place where you'll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. You won't merely feel like you belong -- you will know this is your home up north.

 "Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so memorable, something we will be able to tell our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren about.  You have a wonderful staff that really care about the customers.  We know that there are many vacations spots, but when we found Gunflint we knew that this was the only spot for us!!!!"

What's New this Winter at Gunflint

Adventure Services

There's so much to do here at Gunflint sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start.  So we opened an Adventure Concierge office to help you plan your activities during your stay.  This person will be available to make recommendations on which ski trails to go on depending on your skill level, which days might be better for snowshoeing, or even booking any popular activities for you before you arrive. 

Winter Specials

Everyone loves a deal so here is our best winter offer.  If you're the kind of person who always wants a vacation to last just one more day, we can relate!  If you arrive on a Sunday or Monday and spend 3 nights with us, the fourth night is on the house. 

Dog Sledding

For guests staying over Monday throughout the winter we are treating you to a taste of dog sledding by offering you complimentary dog sled rides.  Bundle up and hop in the sled, and let our musher and team of eager sled dogs introduce you to an exciting way to traverse the snow-covered trails that wind through the woods.  This is always popular so reservations are a must! 

The complimentary dog sled rides are for guests spending Sunday and Monday nights at Gunflint.  While we do reserve the whole day for rides, there is limited capacity. 

Sleigh Rides

For guests staying over Tuesday we will be offering complimentary sleigh rides every Tuesday evening.  Big Belgian horses pull the sleigh through the woods and alongside a frozen lake on lit trails beneath a star-filled sky.  Homemade hot cocoa awaits you upon your return from this classic north woods experience. 

Just to be clear, the complimentary sleigh rides are for guests spending Monday and Tuesday nights at Gunflint.  This activity is particularly limited in capacity due to size of the sleighs and can only hold 12 people.  So it is open to the first 12 people who sign up.  If you are interested in reserving a sleigh ride for a different night of the week, call us and we can arrange it for you.

A vacation to the Gunflint highlands of northern Minnesota is unique. The area is remote and pristine, while it abounds with wildlife and panoramic beauty.  The countless stars and colorful northern lights will amaze you and your family throughout the winter nights. 

We invite you to join our family in an area where moose encounters and deer sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors at home.  It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to Gunflint Lodge.
