Every season offers a different set of experiences at Gunflint but there are some things that never change. The peace of mind that the wilderness provides is abundant year round. The Kerfoot family had been here for 3 generations prior. John and Mindy Fredrikson truly enjoy welcoming guests to the Northwoods just as the Kerfoot family had for years. We like to help you explore our forest and find

those places that are special. Our staff is always willing to talk with you about fun places to visit in the forest and lakes around us. So here are some ideas of what we see and do during the four seasons. We 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, where we have more wildlife (deer, moose, eagles, beaver, etc.) than people. 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 animal sightings are more common than a visit by your neighbors. It would be our pleasure to welcome you and your family to our resort, which we hope will become your new "home in the woods".

🫐 Blueberry season is almost here on the Gunflint Trail! 🫐

In just a few weeks, the hillsides and forest openings of the Northwoods will be dotted with wild blueberries. For many of our guests, spending a morning gathering berries is a favorite summer tradition.

If you've been thinking about a summer getaway, now is the time to reserve your cabin. Peak blueberry season is short, and some of the best picking happens before you know it.

Where's your favorite blueberry spot? 🫐
