We've homesteaded here since 2011.  We are a working permaculture homestead in the middle of millions of acres of wilderness.  We own 60 acres with trails and only about 5 acres are developed.  There are endless hiking, back country skiing, snowshoeing, ATVing and snowmobiling opportunities at our doorstep.  We're just over a mile from both the Superior Hiking Trail and the North Shore Snowmobile trail.  We are near the half way point on the SHT and we'd be more than happy to host through hikers.  There are many other unofficial trails all over the area as well.  We live within 2 miles of three small lakes and we're just over 2 miles from Crosby Manitou State Park.  Fishing and hunting opportunities are also seasonally available.  Historical sites included the junk and remains from a hundred year old small logging camp on the property.  Although the area was logged 100+ years ago, many old growth cedars, yellow birch and maples were left behind.  The terrain is varied around the area with over 100 feet difference in elevation on the 60 acres.  The terrain and sites to visit around the Northshore of Lake Superior including state parks and waterfalls speaks for itself.

Long Haul Off-Grid YURT!
Off-grid homestead in the Northwood
Our stay in the long-haul yurt was idyllic. Steven greeted us right away. He gave us a tour around the homestead and brought us to the yurt so we could rest after our trek. We spent our first-night organizing, making a fire in the indoor stove, cooking, and relaxing. The homestead offers walking trails, a freshwater stream, views of their gardens, and construction of new structures that will help with their homestead life. The yurt offers a comfortable bed, a sink and food prep area, table and chairs, a wood burning stove that has a side attachment so you can heat water for cleaning up, a wood trunk, and shelves. Recommendations: Hiking boots for the 2.2-mile trek up the logging road. Carry all of your gear in a pack as you do not want to be trekking in a cooler. Water filter so you can collect and filter the spring water for drinking. Little camp stove so you can cook outside on a warm night. The wood burning stove heats the yurt well. Perfect for fall, winter, and spring, maybe too hot for summer.

Long Haul Homestead A-Frame
My husband and I stayed at the homestead for only a night, but it was an awesome experience! Steven and his family were so welcoming, and his kids are an absolute hoot. We're looking forward to coming back, and bringing friends!

Off-grid Wilderness Homestead
We had a very pleasant stay. They had a a couple hammocks and a fire pit with chairs around it. Access to rain water. I would bring your own fire wood as they use theirs to heat the house in the winter. The family was very nice and accommodating. You will need an SUV or truck to make it down the road to their house.

Long Haul Homestead A-Frame
Steven and his family were very hospitable, showing us around their property and welcoming us to hang around any of it, including a spring, garden, fire pit, teepee, etc. The A-frame was a short walk behind their home in a less-wooded, more open area. They are working towards a self-sustaining lifestyle on their property. The A-frame was as you would expect for an outdoor camping stay - do not expect a clean, indoor facility. It is not bug proof, however, bugs were hardly an issue and a bugnet was put up for us. The 2 mile drive in was doable on a *dry* day by a Subaru outback. Ask Steven for more details, but this could be a hike in if it has rained recently or you don't have a high-clearance vehicle.
