Item Description

We are a family-run organization in a northwoods, homestead atmosphere. In 1971, Grandpa and Grandma Barr traveled west from Ohio to the North Shore of Lake Superior. Nestled alongside the famous Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness they found a home. However, they did not merely want a home "to call their own," rather, Grandpa and Grandma's hope was that many would find this place to be their own "home away from home." And it proved to be true.

Sleigh rides at Okontoe have become a yearly tradition for many, with riders aging from 1 month to 100 years old! Our guests, who have come from all over the United States and from over forty countries around the world, frequently comment that "this was the highlight of our vacation."

Okontoe is located in Grand Marais, MN.

Item Special Note

The deluxe sleigh, with its ornate woodwork and red crushed-velved seats, carries two passengers and is perfect for your romantic celebration.

The sleigh ride season is dependent upon snow conditions, but generally runs from the second full weekend in December through the end of March. Please feel free to call and check on early and late season trail conditions if you plan on being in the area at that time.

Winner receives one romantic sleigh ride for two.
