This rustic cottage on the shore of Rainy Lake in Ranier is the perfect base camp for exploring the natural wonders of Rainy Lake and Voyageur’s National Park–or just hanging out with the locals in the quirky town of Ranier. It features a living room with a huge window overlooking the lake, a deck and a wonderful lawn that runs down to the water. It’s a great place to spend a week or two (or the whole summer!) with your family. Kids love the beach–just steps away–and swimming off the breakwater. And if you just want solitude or a quiet place to write your memoirs, Ranier has long been a haven for writers and painters and artists of every kind.
