We recommend downloading the lodge's address into your GPS Apps to be an "Offline Map". Service can be spotty/non-existent on the Gunflint Trail, so this will ensure you have the directions if you lose service. There are road signs every few miles on the road to direct you towards the lodge.
There is essentially no cell service once on the Gunflint Trail. However, the lodge and all the cabins are equipped with Wi-Fi.
While the cabins are pet-friendly, we kindly ask that you leave them at home. Albert & Auggie will be around to soak up all the extra belly rubs.
