"Up North” vacations are cherished for a lifetime, especially at this lakeside cottage. All ages will be entertained - kids will always remember paddleboating, and the pontoon rental is perfect for an (adult) sunset cruise. Poplar Lake is your backyard - bring your boat, or use one of ours! We have fishing boats with motors, paddleboats, a pontoon boat, and a variety of canoes available for rent. Towering Pines Cottage has two decks just off lake shore, one sun deck and another for outdoor dining. What a vacation experience!
Grand Marais is a premier destination for snowmobiling thanks to reliable snow depth from December though March. Ride from groomed trails to your cottage on the point.

Matt Sweetman — 5 star. I've been staying at the Nor'Wester for 17 years. Beautiful place, wonderful people. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Carl and Luana!
MaryAnn Harren — 5 star. We have been coming to the Gunflint Trail area for over 40 years. One of our favorite Lakes to canoe is Popular Lake, a beautiful lake with many islands about 30 miles from Grand Marais. We have been renting canoes from Nor'Wester Lodge. This is an excellent entry point to the lake for both day tripping or for starting a trip into the BWCA. Nor'Wester has a great variety of canoes and very friendly people who will meet your needs.
