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

Though it'll be hard to pull yourself away, there's so much to see nearby. We're 10 minutes from Lutsen and Superior National Golf, 5 minutes from Cascade River hiking trails, 15 minutes from Grand Marais, and 40 minutes from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). Hiking and biking opportunities also abound. Ask us for recommendations for any and all attractions—we're happy to share!

    We had another wonderful stay at Cedar Ridge.It was sunny and beautiful each day we were there. We had the windows open during the day, a fire in the fireplace at night, and took in the full moon rise over the Big Lake. So peaceful. Thank you for making it available.

    Your place was awesome. The kitchen was beautiful (SMEG appliances looked great). We had a very relaxing time at your cabin. We had fires inside and out. Looks like you put a lot of effort ( and money ) into the place.Thanks for sharing your place on VRBO

    Leave the white noise machine at home - you wont need it! The sounds of Lake Superior's waves just outside your window will lull you to sleep! Great location, beautifully appointed cabin, with everything needed for our stay. 2 thumbs up! ??

    My wife and I spent three days at this property to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The owner was warm and friendly, sending recommendations prior to the trip and also a text about the northern lights while we were there. The property was beautiful and spotless. Absolutely fantastic stay!

    The posting was accurate and the lister was very good at communicating. The place was comfortable, convenient, private, and allowed us to soak in Lake Superior for all it’s worth. Beautiful place. We will try to book again in the future and tell others to do the same.
