Extreme northern Minnesota, near the Canadian border, is known for its sky blue lakes, pristine Northwoods wilderness, and quiet solitude. You can get all of that at one gorgeous rental cabin on Crane Lake, Minnesota, plus close proximity to both Voyageurs National Park and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (“BWCA”). If you’re looking for a secluded base camp with access to some of the Bold North’s premier natural areas, you have to check this cabin out. One thing, though: You’ll need a boat.

Crane Lake, in far northern Minnesota, has the unique distinction of lying partially within Voyageurs National Park and also being an entry point for the Boundary Waters.
