Cedarwood Hollow rests on the edge of a private cobblestone beach on Lake Superior. Located on a quiet stretch of Cascade Beach Road, halfway between Lutsen and Grand Marais, Cedarwood sits along the boundary of Cascade River State Park.

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 abundantlyspacious 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!

    We had a lovely stay. The house was exactly as pictured online. It was amazing being right on the water and falling asleep with the windows open to the sound of the waves. The hosts were incredibly helpful. Everything was beautifully designed and arranged, inside and out. The landscaping was so lovely and appropriate for the area.

    Comfortable, clean, spacious, with high-end finishes and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. The property really is only steps to the shore—perfect for a peaceful retreat. The large windows make the most of the stunning lake view, and we enjoyed watching the hummingbirds visiting the well-placed feeder. I hope to visit again sometime!

    Second time here- it’s lovely- felt a little like an ocean liner when the waves were high. Serene and forever blissful place.

    We spent a wonderful week at Cedarwood Hollow. The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. The patio, fire pit, and beach were spectacular. Such a relaxing and peaceful location. We already booked our return stay!

    This was our second stay at Cedarwood and it was just as perfect as the first time. The cabin is very clean and comfortable. The kids spent most of their time looking for cool rocks along the lake shore. What a beautiful place to find peace for a few days.

    The four gal pals have been visiting the North Shore regularly since 1976 (of course that dates us but also makes us very knowledgeable)! We always stay in private homes that offer privacy and seclusion. Cedarwood Hollow offered not only privacy but was beautifully appointed, featuring quality bed and bath linens. For chef wanna bes, the kitchen was perfect with all of the accoutrements of home Access to the patio and beach was just steps away from the side door. Regrettably, the weather did not cooperate and we had to spend our times indoors enjoying a warm fire much to our delight If yo are reading this and are looking for a wonderful place in which to spend quiet time on the big water, I highly recommend Cedarwood Hollow Sharon O’

    We absolutely love this place and made memories that will last a lifetime. It actually only sleeps eight comfortably, but you can make more work.
