Gokotta Cottage: Cozy forest retreat with Lake Superior views

Located just 10 minutes north of Two Harbors, you'll enjoy the convenience of being near town for grocery and coffee runs but also the true up-north, in-the-woods experience. The cottage is an 1,150 square foot two level home. The main level is open concept and contains a living room with smart TV and Room & Board queen sleeper sofa, fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, dining space, and full size washer and dryer. The upstairs is an open loft area which contains a queen bed on one side and bunk beds (twin over full) on the other side. All mattresses are Tuft & Needle. Also upstairs, there is a full bathroom and workspace with desk and office chair. The upper level has a walkout patio and large windows, all showcasing incredible views of the valley and Lake Superior. There is extremely fast fiber optic internet throughout the property. Outside, you'll find a fire pit with surrounding chairs. Gökotta is a Swedish word that means "the act of rising early to greet the dawn, listen to birds, and to see the sun" which is precisely what we hope you'll appreciate doing at the cottage!

Even though the gun range is about a mile away, it really doesn't intrude on the experience. I also appreciate it is far enough away from other places that the sky is brilliant at night.

North shore cabin with a view.

Great place. Secluded but close to everything we wanted. So nice to put the kids to bed and still have a space to relax. The only downside... The mosquitoes outside are ferocious, but that's expected with any cabin in the woods. Thanks again. We will likely be back in the future!

The second time around.

Everything was as good as the first time we stayed here. The location works well for us to hike on the Superior Hiking Trail.

Quiet Retreat- Peaceful

Exceptionally clean and neat, with a pleasing sparse decor. It’s stocked well, comfortable, quiet. Great view and fire pit. Close to town and the lake. We enjoyed being out of town and having quiet and privacy. It was a peasant and easy stay. Note: There’s a steep incline up to it, with loose gravel on the hill/road, A four wheel drive would be recommended in my opinion; and they do mention that on their site. My little Honda civic with a heavy load was challenged, due mostly to the slippery gravel (but we made it!) so glad we chose it.
