Lutsen Lodging Company

Over the river and through the woods…brings you to Poplar Valley Cabin.  Set near the headwaters of the Poplar River in heart of Maple syrup country; there are countless wilderness adventures beginning from the steps of this cabin.  A short walk brings you to Barker Lake and biking/hiking trails run adjacent to the property while the rest of the Lutsen area amenities are less than a 15 minute drive away.

This handcrafted rustic retreat is set up as a one bedroom studio with a sleeping loft.  Bring your own linens (sleeping bags), towels and toiletries.  You’ll love the one seater outhouse – the views are outstanding.  There is no housekeeping or electricity (guests clean the unit upon departure). You want to bring in your own water (however, in a pinch there is water available from an artesian spring). Firewood is provided.  This cabin is perfect for guests who can appreciate the solitude and beauty of the Northern Minnesota wilderness.   Nothing but the occasional wilderness creature (deer, wolves, the beloved red squirrel, etc.) disrupts the otherwise quiet landscape.  A truly inspirational getaway.

Private guided snowshoe trips along the Upper Poplar River are available.  Just ask when calling to make your reservation.

*Year-round accommodations available - in the winter you will walk, snowshoe or cross-country ski about 500 yards
