Our family had a great time at this dog-friendly property in Lutsen. It was comfortable and homey. Plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 pups to stretch out. Easy access to a variety of state parks, Grand Marais and an EV superfast charger in Tofte. The owner is kind and communicative. We spent a lot of time staring at the lake from the hammock and reading in the sun.

Peaceful and Secluded

The storm had knocked over two trees. But home had a pretty shoreline, and you can see the other property's shore access, but the homes are pretty tucked in. We enjoyed a fire the final night, but it was kind of a drippy, cool weekend. Home is comfortable, and we loved the little kitchen and dining area.

Amazing cabin stay

We had an amazing week stay at this cabin. It was incredibly charming and comfortable, had everything we needed, allowed us to bring our dog, and included such a fun rocky Lake Superior beach to explore and watch the crashing waves. Also loved how close we were to parks, trails and Grand Marais. We’ll definitely be back!

Best Lutsen Stay Yet!

Two Cedars is the perfect fit for our family (two adults, three teens, a big dog)! The location, the landscape, the house . . . We were all so impressed, the owners truly thought of everything. And their cleaning staff is stellar, the house was spotless. We will definitely be back!

the best

we have stayed at Twin Cedars for the past 5 years. We have always had the best experiences to share. Twin Cedars has always been exceptionally clean and well kept, Becky and Jim have been easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. The location is excellent for access to Lutsen (I prefer to ski, my wife and Rex lodge it). Happy lodgers. We will return often.

Our stay at this property was awesome. It’s in a perfect location for exploring the area and seeing lots of fall colors. The house is quite comfortable, with plenty of space for the three of us.

40th Anniversary

This was our second five night stay with Twin Cedars. Our time there was hassle-free, lived up to its billing, and we had a fantastic time with a few family members joining us for part of our days there. It is just such a beautiful cabin on lovely property. We had chunks of days there and many trips to a variety of adventures.This is a place for happy memories.

About the host

Hosted by Becky

Host profile image
Both Jim and I grew up in the Chicago area and live in the City now.
My husband Jim has been traveling to the North Shore since he was boy and has great memories of his family vacations there.
My first trip to the North Shore was just after we were married 15 years ago. I fell in love with area immediately and never wanted our vacations to come to an end.

Why they chose this property

We have been looking for the perfect house and piece of property ever since our first trip up together. Finally our dream came true this past year.
Growing up in, and living in Chicago now, we love the fact, that when at Twin Cedars we can't see our neighbors. That was very important to us.
We try to get to Twin Cedars every chance we get but in the mean time want to share this beautiful piece of the North Shore with you.

What makes this property unique

I remember vividly my first glimpse of Lake Superior right from the driveway. As I walked down the gentle sloping path into the yard for the first time, I saw a cute little footbridge crossing over a seasonal creek. Not only did I have a beautiful, walkable, ledge rock shore stretching out in front of me but a babbling brook as well.
As I strolled up the small creek bed lined with stones and wild roses I realized we had a small Springtime waterfall located just off the deck. This is one of my husbands favorite things to enjoy while grilling.
Inside the house is all 'Knotty pine' that gives you that true 'Up North' feeling.
This is a 1960's custom built house with lots of fun interesting features. With the updated track lighting you can either do some fine needle work and reading or have a cozy family movie night.
Both the Family room and A-Frame have fantastic views of the lake. Just off the A-Fame are a few bird feeders rigged to attract a variety of species and with windows all around being from floor to ceiling the bird watching can be exceptional. It sometimes feels like you are in your own tree house.
The Family room has a huge picture window that looks out over the deck and Lake Superior. You can see all the way to the Horizon here.
