Wow what a great place! The best kind of places are the ones you just kind of stumble upon and not the ones you see plastered all over the internet. We were hungry and this placed looked like a nice place to grab a bite and wow what an amazing place.Amazing modern yet outdoorsy ambiance overlooking Poplar Lake but the food was what was noteworthy here.I highly recommend the Haus Burger....MMMmmmm good. Whatever they had in that sauce was amazing. The french fries were also excellent and unique as they were almost a hybrid of a steak fry and a chip.Highly recommend and we will be stopping here on a regular basis when we travel to the Nort' Woods

One of my favorite restaurants. Food is just incredible. I drive 5 hours to come fish and hike but if Poplar Haus wasn’t there, it would truly be less often or a different area! I absolutely love this place ?

We stop here for dinner everytime we go to the Gunflint Trail, we love it! The menu is unique, made from scratch, thoughtful and DELICIOUS! I had the best soup of my life here a few days ago. Everyone is super down to earth and welcoming. It has amazing views and is beautifully designed. Highly recommend stopping here for dinner. You can't beat it, summer or winter, it's the best place on the trail!

Come for the drinks, stay for the food. A great spot a bit off the beaten path. This has become a staple when visiting the north shore.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp wrapping around the building provides an accessible entrance.

Great spot on the Gunflint. The Forager cabin is very cozy, especially in the winter. Dining at Poplar Haus is always a treat.

Poplar Haus is a hidden gem! Nice view of the lake and cozy comfort. The restaurant serves up exceptional dishes, and the staff is top-notch—friendly and attentive. A perfect place to eat after a hike!

Any time you can get a Hamms on tap served in a vintage glass like this, it's 5 star! Service was very friendly, food was delicious, overall it was excellent and highly recommended! Reservations are almost always required as this place is always busy.

We finally made it up to Poplar Haus for a long weekend after first hearing about them back in 2019. We booked well in advance in order to hit the Gunflint Trail during peak Fall colors and the whole experience didn't disappoint. My wife and I stayed in the Forager which was perfect for a cozy getaway for 2.The Cabin: The Forager is located directly across the street from the restaurant and the rest of the cabins. It still has a lake view but it's not directly on the lake. No worries though, we actually loved being a little more private and not having all the cars coming to the restaurant pass right by our place all night. The cabin itself has been updated and comes with Wi-Fi (online info suggested cabins may have spotty Wi-Fi but the Forager has its own network so we had no problem staying connected while we were there. For entertainment purposes, it also comes with a TV (DVD and "UBS/HDMI" ports only so bring your cords or streaming sticks if you'd prefer), a Bluetooth speaker system, a bunch of DVD's and board games. The kitchen has most everything you'd need for home cooked meals except a microwave. No big deal though since one of Minnesota's best restaurants is right across the street. If you do plan on cooking though, bring everything with you because the closet grocery store is in Grand Marais.The Restaurant and Amenities: We stayed in the cabins but we ultimately went for the food and it didn't disappoint. Their ever-changing menu has a mix of modern takes on tavern food as well as plenty of upscale culinary options for all tastebuds. Their drink list is very expansive as well. Make reservations ahead of time though because even if you're staying there, the restaurant fills up (especially on the weekends). On the lake, we had full access to their rack of canoes/kayaks as well as the life jackets and paddles (at no charge). They even had a pontoon boat you could rent at a very affordable fee. There is a sauna as well if you're interested.We spent most of the weekend using Poplar Haus as a base to go hiking all over the Gunflint Trail. Dozens of trailheads within about 20 minutes of the cabins. There's zero cell service up there though so come prepared with your own weekend plan prior to arriving. We can't wait to go back!Nearby activities: Tons of trailheads within 20 minutes of Poplar HausFood & drinks: Amazing food. We really wanted to try the desserts but we made the mistake of filling up on all their delicious appetizers and food before we got to the final course.
