About this property

Rustic Retreat Cabin for Families/Sm Groups, "Shalom"

This little one-room cabin is ADORABLE! It has everything you need (and nothing you don't) for a quiet getaway to fill your soul. We're located just 30 minutes outside Duluth, MN, but when you're here you'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. While you're here you'll have access to our enormous sandy beach on Lake Superior. The beach is a 15-minute walk from the cabin, and is absolutely stunning.

Here are a few things you'll want to know before you book this cabin:
- The cabin is clean, comfortable, and elegant, but still quite rustic. The cabin is available year-round, with a propane fireplace for your main source of heat. It has electricity, but no running water. In the kitchenette is a water dispenser for washing & drinking. Adjacent to the cabin is your own private low-odor outhouse that has a little heater and a light you can turn on from inside the cabin. Just a one-minute walk from the cabin is the main lodge, which has public restrooms for showers and flushing toilets.
- There is no drive-in access to this cabin. You can unload your vehicle about a one or two-minute walk from the cabin. We offer hand carts and/or utility sleds for bringing luggage to the cabin. After you've unloaded your vehicle, we'll ask you to park your car back in the parking lot along the side of the road.
- Please watch this 4-minute tour video before reserving this cabin. The video will hopefully help give you a sense of what the cabin is like so you can decide if it's a good fit for you before you make a reservation: https://youtu.be/-Htu1ZCJtv4

A Peaceful Retreat at Shalom Cabin

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Shalom Cabin at Camp Amnicon, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we felt a warm welcome from the camp staff and an overwhelming sense of tranquility. The cabin itself is beautifully situated, surrounded by stunning natural scenery. It was cozy and clean, providing all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the cabin's simplicity, with all the essential amenities that made our stay comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying the outdoor space. The views are breathtaking, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and canoeing the Amnicon River, as well as simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We also appreciated the no-contact check-in and check-out process, which made our experience even smoother and more relaxing. Overall, our time at Camp Amnicon was incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a place to connect with nature, Shalom Cabin is an ideal choice. We can’t wait to return for another stay!

Cabin was just what we needed- peaceful area - outhouse light from inside cabin was a helpful touch—quick response from staff with questions- outhouse was a bit stinky and wish the fridge was bigger but it was a great stay can’t wait to go back!

Quiet and restful, girls getaway

We had a great stay! The staff was kind and welcoming. The cottage is cozy and has everything you need for an overnight or three stay. Use of the lodge bathroom was helpful for showers, etc. I loved having the drinking water in the cabin to refill water bottles. Only minor challenge is there is a bit of a walk to this cabin from the parking area. I'm recovering from heel surgery and I did not see information about the distance in the VRBO listing, but the director said it was listed on their website. Walked slow and watched my steps on the gravel path to the door. There were plenty of lights, including a motion sensor on the path halfway to the cabin, and a light switch inside the cottage to the outhouse heater and light! The staff has made thoughtful additions to make the stay comfortable. We made it work! We had a great time and were very relaxed during our two night stay.

Kitchen Details

Kitchen is poorly supplied with utensils. We arrived and found a few knives, no spoons, 3 forks. Also no mixing bowls. 4 plates, 4 bowls for a cabin that has bed space for 7 people. All else was very nice. Glad to be there!

Great getaway

Staying at Amnicon allowed my kids to have a taste of camping but still able to sleep in a bed. We used the cabin as a base and did day trips around the north shore. The camp was quiet and clean. We had a great trip.

Great, affordable stay, able to disconnect while also visiting sites.

This worked perfect for our family and our stay, especially with our hound along for the ride. We’d like to return in the summer months to better be able to explore the trails. The one difficulty was the lack of heater in the cabin necessitating use of space heaters. While the cabin remained warm enough I was under the impression there was more centralized heating. Other than that we had no issues and really enjoyed our stay!

Just what we needed

It was a cozy and peaceful stay once we got the heat situation figured out. The contact person was super attentive and took care of what we needed. It was rustic but with nice amenities. Whoever thought to put a heater in the outhouse that you could turn on from inside is genius! It was so nice having the sauna available too. The walking trails were nice. And we appreciate being able to have our dog with us.

We enjoyed our stay in this rustic cabin. There was plenty of space for all 5 of us and it was clean. The camp is nice and quiet. It's located at the end of a long dirt road, which we did not know, but it worked out.

Comfortable and Family Friendly

We wanted space close to Duluth and the North Shore but also wanted to rent a cabin. This location gave us all of that along with its own amenities - beach on Lake Superior, some new hiking trails and proximity to Duluth and all of its attractions. Also, very affordable, clean and just as described.

About the host

Hosted by Camp Amnicon

Host profile image
Camp Amnicon Adventures & Retreats is a high-adventure summer camp that offers guided wilderness trips to small groups of middle & high school students. We are ELCA-affiliated, and welcoming to people of all genders, races, and backgrounds. Our mission is to guide people to experience Grace & Growth in the wild places of creation. We hope that you get to experience deep peace while you're here.

At our base-camp, we rent out 6 small/personal retreat cabins and a big four-season lodge, as well several as hike-in campsites and seasonal glamping wall-tents. The cabins are far enough apart from each other and the main public spaces of the camp that you will get a nice amount of privacy. But you should also expect to see other people around the main areas of camp, at the beach, on the walking-paths, and in the public restrooms in the lodge. If you'd like to see a map of the grounds before making a reservation, feel free to send us a message and we'll be more than happy to share it with you.

99% of the year, our site is quiet and serene. There are a few days during the summer when we'll have several groups of campers coming through base-camp for day of orientation before they head out on their guided adventure trips. If you'd like to avoid these high-traffic days, please contact us prior to making your reservation. We're more than happy to share with you how busy we might expect any particular dates to be.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or need help deciding if our cabins will be a good fit for you!

Why they chose this property

Located at the end of a 5-mile-long dirt road, our rustic retreat center is the perfect blend of far enough away and easy enough to get to. We're just 30 minutes outside Duluth, so you can spend your days touristing if you'd like. We're also far enough from the highway that you won't be bothered by the sounds of the city or highway while you're here. It's quiet, it's peaceful, it's lovely.
