Marked trails, a year-round creek, and ridgelines that catch the aurora on clear March nights. We keep the forest wild and the paths honest.

  • ✓Creek-fed cedar sauna at North Star Lodge
  • ✓Firewood stacked and split for every booking
  • ✓Dark-sky corridor with no light pollution around the ridge

Built the old way

Every joint cut by hand. Every beam raised with a crew of six and a lot of rope.

Hand-notched

Saddle notches and dovetails cut with chisels. No metal brackets in the load path.

Storm-fallen

Spruce and pine recovered from blowdown. Nothing living is felled on the property.

Stone hearth

Local granite fireplaces built dry-stack with a single steel lintel at the throat.

Wool and linen

Bedding woven within a day's drive. Heavy wool blankets for shoulder-season nights.

Portrait of the host

Tove Lindqvist

Cabin Keeper

Raised three ridgelines over, Tove Lindqvist keeps the woodpiles high and the lanterns lit. The cabins were raised by hand, one at a time, from wood that the storms brought down.
