About this property
Charming Cottage On Lake Superior-15 minutes from Grand Marais and Lutsen
Historic charm meets modern comfort here at Cedar Ridge. Truly a stone's throw from the shore of Lake Superior, this character-filled cabin was originally hand-built in 1945 by Hjelmer, a Norwegian immigrant. Though Cedar Ridge was fully restored in 2024, the design remains nearly identical to its origins, and you'll notice Hjelmer's preserved craftsmanship throughout your stay.
Highlights of your getaway will include a stunning fireplace crafted from Lake Superior stones; a sunlit kitchen with vaulted ceilings, abundant counter space, and new Smeg appliances; and a sunny cedar deck overlooking the water's edge. This woodsy retreat is the perfect place to slow down, listen to the waves, and enjoy the view. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of some rare wildlife—we've had lynx, wolves, and bears on our doorstep. On a clear dark night, you can see the milky way over the lake, or fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
Amenities: Queen bed Wood-burning fireplace High-speed Wifi Full-sized refrigerator Dishwasher Gas stove Gas grill Keurig and coffee maker Shower
