My husband and I had such a great time at Bearskin Lodge over Thanksgiving week. It's a great place to get away and relax in the cabin or make the most of the beautiful woods around the area. The fresh bread on arrival was a delicious surprise and the pies they offer are fantastic!! There are lots of trails to... More

This was our 15th year of vacationing at Bearskin Lodge, and it seems to get better every year. We vacationed there for a week in February, and no matter how much or how little snow the rest of Minnesota receives, there is always plenty at Bearskin, partly because of the elevation. The trails are expertly groomed, with a wonderful variety... More

I visited Bearskin Lodge in late January 2012, and in this seemingly snowless winter, there was great snow up the Gunflint Trail, and the Bearskin cross-country ski trails were the beautiful well-groomed wonderland I had experienced in the past. Our cabin was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week-long visit. We looked out on a beautiful snow-covered... More

This was our third year staying at Bearskin lodge and we absolutely love it. The skiing and weather this year were the best we've had. The trails offer everything from beginners to expert. The lodge is warm and welcoming. The cabins are perfect for a quiet getaway or to spend time catching up with old friends. We unfortunately could only... More

Stayed here with friends for a few days after being several other places over the last week. This was perfect. Trails were well-groomed, snow was relatively abundant (at least compared to elsewhere), lodge hospitality was appreciated. Wouldn't change a thing, except maybe stay here longer. Get the chili after skiing, and plan to be full. It's a lot of chili... More

Ohhhh did we ever need a vacation. My husband and I had originally booked for September but the vacation was railroaded by car trouble of the worst kind. The kind people at Bearskin graciously let us reschedule for this trip. We were in cabin 8, which was fortuitous as it was just a short trip to the sauna, the lodge... More

We just got home from 4 nights at Bearskin. They were the only place with decent snow, and the trails are wonderful. The team at Bearskin, along with Golden Eagle, spend a lot of time making sure everything is groomed to perfection. We lucked out with snow the final night, so had fresh conditions for our last day of skiing... More

I have been to Bearskin Lodge in all seasons since 1983. Each Thanksgiving since 1988 has been spent there. It is a special place to paddle into the Boundary Waters, to sit in the hot tub haus after paddling or skiing, to ski and hike, and to relax. The cabins and lodge rooms are each beautiful, warm and private. There... More

Second time on the Gunflint and first time at Bearskin. What a fabulous weekend. The cabin was awesome. Terrific view of the lake. We hiked the Beaver Dam trail on our first day -- 9 miles of beautiful views and then the Bear Cub World Cup on the second day -- 5 miles. It snowed just enough for us to... More
