Cabin 7 at Trout Lake Resort: Big, Accessible, and Ready for Cabintimers year‑round. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

Looking for a spacious Grand Marais cabin on the Gunflint Trail with easy access for every member of the crew? Meet Cabin 7 at Trout Lake Resort. This large vacation home sleeps 11–13 and is wheelchair accessible. It’s open year‑round, so your fishing trips, fall color weekends, holiday gatherings, and spring escapes all have a home base.

The space

Three bedrooms keep everyone comfortable. The primary bedroom offers a king bed plus bunks. Bedroom two has a queen bed plus bunks. Bedroom three has a twin bed plus bunks. There’s also a full‑size sleeper sofa.

The layout is open and bright. Picture windows frame the pines and the lake. A screened‑in porch extends hangout space outdoors. Cook together in a fully equipped kitchen with a big dining table for the whole group. Fire up the charcoal grill on the hilltop lot. After sunset, unwind with satellite TV and the DVD/VHS player.

Why Cabintimers love winter here

Cabin 7 is the one Trout Lake Resort cabin available in winter. That makes planning simple. Walk to the heated ice‑fishing house and chase rainbow and lake trout. Bring the sleds and connect to groomed snowmobile trails that lead into the Gunflint and Grand Portage systems. Cross‑country skiers can explore miles of groomed Nordic trails, including the Banadad. Downhill fans can spend a day at Lutsen Mountains, roughly 30 miles away. Pack a paper map—cell service fades a few miles up the Gunflint.

Spring, summer, and fall on Trout Lake

Trout Lake is deep, cold, and clear—prime water for native lake trout. Try fly fishing for rainbow and brook trout when the water is cool. As temps climb, troll the deeper holes for lake trout. Want walleye, pike, or smallmouth bass? Check nearby Elbow and Northern Light Lakes. Stream anglers will find options close by, too. Check the Minnesota DNR for licensing and trout stamp details.

Between casts, there’s time for shoreline paddles, porch naps, and camp‑style meals. Evenings are for loon calls and stargazing.

Dog‑friendly

Dogs are welcome. Keep pups supervised, tidy up, and ask the resort for old towels after a good swim. Everyone stays happy when good dog etiquette comes along for the trip.

Where you’ll be

Cabin 7 sits a short drive up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais. Turn onto Trout Lake Road and you’re in the pines in minutes. It feels far away, yet you can pop into town for groceries, a harbor stroll, or fresh‑baked treats.

Things to do in Grand Marais & along the Gunflint Trail

North House Folk School: Take a half‑day craft class or watch live demos on the harbor campus.
Artist’s Point & the Lighthouse: Walk the breakwater, watch the surf, and explore lava rock formations.
Chik‑Wauk Museum & Nature Center: Learn Gunflint Trail history and explore family‑friendly nature trails.
Nordic trail systems: Central Gunflint, Banadad, and Upper Gunflint offer extensive groomed skiing when the snow flies.
Scenic drives & overlooks: Cruise the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway and keep an eye out for moose at dawn or dusk.

Book direct and keep more for fun

Cabintimers, skip the third‑party fees. Book directly with the owner/manager for the best rates, flexible conversations, and real local tips. That’s how cabin trips should be.

Two Ways to Wake Up on Upper Scott Lake: The Cottage & The Rosebed. A Listing Member on RentMichiganCabins.com Since 2018!

Southwest Michigan’s Upper Scott Lake sits just far enough from the bustle to let the loon calls be your morning alarm. At My Sweet Adeline you have two lakefront homes to pick from—each one ready for an easy-going stay with friends, family, and even the dog. Cabintimers, grab your coffee mug and picture which porch view fits your style.

The Cottage – classic cabin comfort

Sleeps 8 | 4 bedrooms | 2 baths | pet friendly
A pine-framed deck, crackling gas fireplace, and private dock set the scene for long weekends and week-long reunions. The Cottage sits steps from the water, so kids can race from breakfast to the row boat in seconds. Evenings belong to s’mores around the fire pit or stargazing from the hammock. Inside, central heat and A/C keep every season comfortable while DirecTV and a stereo with outdoor speakers add rainy-day backup fun. A full kitchen, grill on the deck, and provided linens mean you can pack light and start relaxing faster.

The Rosebed – roomy, bright, and ready for groups

Sleeps 10 | 4 bedrooms + loft | 2 baths | pet friendly
Five wooded acres wrap this airy retreat, giving kids plenty of lawn to roam before they jump off the private dock. Two main-level bedrooms (one king, one full) plus an upstairs loft with twins are a smart setup for multi-generation trips. Slide open the lakeside door, fire up the grill, and let dinner move from kitchen to huge deck without missing the sunset. A gas fireplace takes over when snow blankets the shoreline, making winter getaways as tempting as summer fun.

Why Cabintimers Love Upper Scott Lake

Swim, paddle, fish, or simply float—this 100-acre spring-fed lake is all-sport and all-season. Borrow the row boat or rent the resident pontoon for sunset cruises.
South Haven & Saugatuck are both under 25 minutes away. Hit the beaches, browse art galleries, or sample the ice cream shops.
HawksHead Golf Course, Fenn Valley Winery, and Gingerman Raceway sit within a quick 10-minute drive. Fall apple-picking and color tours keep the calendar packed after Labor Day.
Snowmobiling and cross-country ski trails pick up when the lake freezes. Light the fireplace, pour cocoa, and watch flakes fall on the pines.

Book Direct, Save More

Skip traveler fees and automated chatbots. When you reserve straight from the owner at MySweetAdeline.com you get local tips, flexible arrival options, and honest pricing—no middleman required. Cabintimers know: direct is best.

Plan Your Cabin Crawl

The Cottage is perfect for an easy-going family retreat. The Rosebed spreads out for larger gatherings. Rent both for up to 18 guests and make Upper Scott Lake your annual meeting place. Bring the dog, pack your fishing pole, and let lake time set the pace.
