Cozy and Peaceful Little Pine River Retreat

Great Up North cabin in a serene and peaceful setting nestled among the trees along Little Pine River. Some have said they feel as though they’re in a treehouse. Two kayaks and a few tubes are available for guests to use, or sit in a chair in the river and cool off. Enjoy the views and sounds of the river and wildlife while sitting by the fire pit, on the cozy deck or in one of the 2 screened in porches. If you feel like being more social, Crosslake is only about a 5 mile drive.

Private Lake Cottage - Gull Lake chain

Charming one bedroom / one bath private cottage that is nestled up to the shore line of Lake Margaret, one of seven lakes on the Gull Lake chain. This a perfect get away while safety and social distancing is still of heightened importance. We'll ensure the cottage is very clean and professionally sanitized to its highest standards. The interior is super cozy, completely finished in knotty pine. It's the perfect romantic get away, or the perfect place to "distance".

Treehouse (LOTR) Stargazer Skycabin

Our LOTR themed treehouse has been described as a "love letter to Tolkien himself." We have been featured on PBS and WJON radio. Joan and I live on the acreage, about 200 ft. from the Wizard's Cottage and very far from the treehouse, which is located on the back part of the acreage. It has a fenced-in portion that makes up the Shire Garden. Down the hill is our nod to Mordor. Feel free to visit and dare to open the "Mor Do(o)r." Diversity is welcome.
