Where do you head when you want to go on a relaxing getaway without leaving Minnesota? If you’re like many Minnesotans, your go-to spot is the North Shore, where you can see the beautiful, choppy waters wash the rugged shore. But there are many other wonderful destinations that aren’t on Lake Superior. Next time you’re craving a getaway, consider heading to the Boundary Waters area. We found an amazing cabin along the Gunflint Trail that looks out over Poplar Lake. It’s a nature-filled oasis without the crowds of Lake Superior. Take a look:

Christine’s Hideaway is a gorgeous cabin near Grand Marais, Minnesota. It’s about halfway up the Gunflint Trail, looking out over beautiful Poplar Lake.

A dock on Poplar Lake is a great place to sunbathe, cast a line, or launch a boat. Poplar Lake is three miles long and has three entry points to the Boundary Waters. Bring your canoe and go out and explore nature!
