Not only one of the most unique lodging options you will find along Lake Superior's North Shore or near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Superior Hiking Trail, but an absolutely one-of-a-kind experience! Our Tiny Tuloon Cabin was hand crafted by our Amish friends in southwestern, Minnesota and has a beautiful pine log interior, pine floors and a pine vaulted ceiling. My Mom provides all of the handmade quilts and my Dad contributed the wood turned items - it's a family affair!
There is a matching spacious log outhouse just down the short driveway from the cabin. We have received 5 stars for the outhouse!
Due to multiple safety requirements associated with a propane powered, off-grid cabin, The Tiny Tuloon Cabin at Points Unknown is not suitable for young children. Older children must be attended by an adult at all times and not left to wander.
Parking is next to the cabin after winter break up and before the first big snow. During winter months, you will park near our homestead and use a sled to snowshoe your things to the cabin. It is a short distance. Sleds and snowshoes are provided, if needed.
We LOVE pets and animals in general, but because we have sled dogs, you will need to leave your pets at home.

The Tiny Tuloon Cabin allows you to participate fully in our lifestyle with traditional sled dogs. The cabin is just a short wander from the main, modern and comfy off-grid homestead. If you book a stay of 5+ nights, a shower in the main house is included. Otherwise, you can heat up water or melt snow in the winter for a sponge bath. The matching log outhouse has an amazingly warm seat and is shared with of our Points Unknown staff members.
Join us for a dog sledding experience, a Mindful Paddle or hike, a River Canyon Snow Trek or Wild Wander by day. Gaze at our ever-changing sky. From the screen porch, you will catch some beautiful sunrises and you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing overhead. Then, let the tranquil howls of the sled dogs enchant and sing you to sleep. When you're ready for adventure, you'll find our Tiny Tuloon Cabin a warm and welcoming place to start your day.
