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.

What makes this property unique

The view of Lake Superior is breathtaking, not only when you are sitting on the deck, but also from the kitchen window, while you are lying in bed in the bedroom, while eating your breakfast at the dining room table or snuggled up with a book on the couch with a fire burning in the fireplace. Cedar Ridge is one of kind! It is a cozy, beautifully restored cabin, perked so close to Lake Superior you will be dreaming about your next trip back to Cedar Ridge.
