About this cottage rental

Cedarwood Hollow rests at the very edge of a private cobblestone beach on Lake Superior. Located halfway between Lutsen and Grand Marais, Cedarwood sits adjacent to Cascade River State Park along a quiet stretch of Cascade Beach Road. This authentic timber-frame chalet has been renovated to retain all of its original charm of a bygone era, while updated with modern amenities. It offers a spacious layout and picture windows so close to the Big Lake that its waves practically lap at your toes.

This authentic timber-frame chalet has been completely renovated to retain all of its original charm of a bygone era, while updated with all the modern amenities — including a 48` Italian pro-style gas range in the kitchen. Offering an abundantly spacious layout, the Great Room is home to a wood-burning fireplace, dining table, game table, and picture windows so close to the Big Lake that its waves practically lap at your toes. The master bedroom has a king bed overlooking the water, allowing guests to fall asleep to the soothing sound of lapping waves. The 2 full bathrooms are outfitted in spa-like fashion with oversized deep-soaker tubs. With the 2nd and 3rd loft bedrooms, one outfitted with a king bed, the other with a queen — and a sleeper sofa in a private corner of the loft — Cedarwood can comfortably sleep 8 adults.

Outside, a beachside patio sits elevated just above the cobblestone shore. A pro-style gas grill makes for easy outdoor cooking and gathering. As idyllic as the Cedarwood Hollow is, the cabin itself is only the beginning …

Cedarwood is situated in the heart of the most legendary and spectacular section of the entire North Shore. Except for a few private parcels of land right along the Lake Superior Shore, Cedarwood essentially sits in the middle of pristine Cascade River State Park. Hundreds of miles of Sawtooth Mountains trails (hiking in the summer, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter) are accessible right out the front door of the cabin. Cascade Lodge Restaurant & Pub is an easy 1-mile walk and features great food, drinks, and frequent live music. A trail leading to Cascade Falls is just 1.5 miles from Cedarwood`s door. And within a 30-minute drive, everything the North Shore is known for is accessible: world-class hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking trails, skiing, galleries, restaurants, NorthHouse Folk School, and a vibrant live music scene. After all, Cedarwood Hollow sits in the heart of Cook County and Grand Marais, which was named by Travel & Leisure magazine as `America`s Best Small Lake Town` in 2023!

NorthLight Lodging is a family-operated, boutique hospitality operation consisting of several guest cabins along Lake Superior’s North Shore in northern Minnesota. Ranging in size from 1 to 4+ bedrooms — and all sitting along the easternmost stretch of coveted Cascade Beach Road — NorthLight`s properties are located halfway between the grandeur and skiing of the Lutsen Mountains and the charming harbor town of Grand Marais. Each cabin is nestled right along the lakeshore and has been curated with painstaking attention to detail. Our goal in designing, crafting, and appointing our cabins is to embody all the subtle enchantment of the North Shore region we so love. We aspire to offer incomparably welcoming spaces — cared for with meticulous attention to detail — that foster inspiration, connection, and wonder for all who visit.

Aside from the two-car garage, everything at Cedarwood Hollow is accessible to guests.

We are available 24/7 by phone or text — and have 24/7 emergency maintenance always available should you need something urgent after-hours.

Cedarwood Hollow is uniquely perched right on the edge of one of the most stunning stretches of beach anywhere along the North Shore — with Lake Superior`s waves literally lapping at its edge! It has captured our imaginations since the first time we stumbled upon it — and still does today!

Cedarwood Hollow is located on Cascade Beach Road, a quiet, lightly traveled eight-mile gravel road that usually sees more walkers and cyclists than it does cars. There is no parking on Cascade Beach Road, but the private drive offers plenty of parking for guests.

Amazing views and solitude, we loved our stay!

Amazing house and location right on the water with incredible lake views and working fireplace. We had such a relaxing time with our family of 5 and it was such a quick drive to the slopes or out to dinner in downtown Grand Marais. The house has everything you need in the kitchen, such nice towels, linen's, blankets and decor. You can tell the attention to detail in all of high end finishes throughout the house. It was extremely clean and worked great for our family.

10 out of 10 AGAIN! We love, love, love this place. A gem for sure that we will keep coming back to.

We loved the cabin! High quality everything (pans/knives/kitchen/bedrooms/bathrooms). Everything is nice, cozy, and convenient. We used the fireplace every time we were home hanging out. It was an awesome escape! If you're staying w/ 8 people, know that the 4th sleeping quarters is a pull-out couch in a loft.
