Gooseberry Trailside Suites | Knife River Suite

Nestled along Minnesota's stunning North Shore, the Gooseberry Falls area is a nature lover's paradise. When you stay at Gooseberry Trails Suites you can embark on a ski adventure directly on the scenic trails that wind through Gooseberry Falls State Park, known for its breathtaking waterfalls, rugged cliffs, and lush forests. A short stroll brings you to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, where you can enjoy easy beach access and soak in the beauty of the largest Great Lake.

Escape to the Gooseberry Trailside Suites, a four-plex with four individual two-bedroom, one-bath apartments perfectly positioned for an unforgettable North Shore getaway. The Knife is the bottom unit on the right side of the building facing the Lake. This quaint apartment is located next to great trails, multiple rivers, the majestic shores of Lake Superior, and of course Gooseberry Falls, this retreat offers incredible access to outdoor adventures. You can hike or ski directly from the property. Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with a dining room table, ideal for home-cooked meals, and a cozy living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace to warm up after a day of exploration. Step outside to enjoy a shared fire pit for stargazing or unwind in the 10-person sauna, making this the ultimate haven for relaxation and recreation.

Please keep in mind that this unit is part of a four-plex so you will likely hear other guests above or beside your unit. We asked that all guests follow our house rules and abide by the 10pm-8am quiet hours. Spring 2026 Update: removed lower level ceiling and installed a 5-layer soundproofing between the lower and upper units and added another wall layer between the lower units. It is still one structure with 4 units (will always be able to hear some neighbor noise); the sound transfer has been reduced substantially. Freshly painted lower units.

Please note when you book this unit you are only booking the one unit not the entire four-plex, please reach out to us if you would like to reserve more than one unit. Guests will have shared access to the sauna and fire pit.
