Cairn Cottage on the North Shore of Lake Superior!

The fireplace was wonderful and so easy to function. We weren’t there for shopping. We were there to enjoy the beach and the water. Stayed in the cabin and out on the beach most of the time. It was just wonderful.

Amazing. We’ll be back. Can’t beat location. The view from the living room is great. Walking on the beach was so fun. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure was good. Dining room table was fun for games. Perfect winter get-away.

The view of Superior is spectacular—literally right on the water! Always feels like home when we stay.

I can’t recommend Cairn Cottage enough! It fit 6 adults perfectly and made for a great home base for a Lutsen skiing trip. The distance between Lutsen and Grand Marais is perfect to make the most of the trip too. Well found the cottage to be super cozy and easy to navigate. It was clean, organized, and very welcoming. We hope to return soon!

Stayed here twice now. Best view...feel like you are on the water.

The Cairn Cottage is absolutely lovely - a real gem! Well-appointed, clean, comfy. More than that, there is an overall feeling of peace and relaxation as well as hygge. The host left clear instructions about the property, and communication was excellent.

Gorgeous Cottage right on the lake! It's even more beautiful in person. Waking up to the sunrise every morning was a gift, as was falling asleep to the waves of Superior.

Absolutely beautiful cabin and setting. Great decks, nice fire pit by the water, easy access to the beach. Close to Grand Marais and Lutsen. Could it ask for anything better. Gorgeous sunrises right from the deck or front room.

A 5 star accomodation!

We love Cairn Cottage - beautiful location, spacious, well-maintained. It has become a go-to place for us during our annual treks to the North Shore.

It’s a beautiful cabin

It is a very nice property. Nice shoreline for Lake Superior. Super comfortable! Love the soaps and lotions supplied!!

None better in the area. Fantastic place to relax on the lakeshore. Can't wait to return!

Very much enjoyed our stay at Carin Cottage. It was a chilly 4th of July (55 in AM and water 44 degrees). Enjoyed walking along the shoreline, having a campfire and exploring parks and shops to the North. Close to parks and shops with privacy at the adorable and pristine cottage. Wonderful views of the lake from every window.

We loved every single thing about Cairn Cottage from the minute we arrived until we had to unfortunately leave. Renewed our spirits!! Loved the quiet!! Super clean and fully stocked! Will definitely book again!!!

Everything was just lovely.

Well appointed, very clean cottage! This is our 2nd time staying and it just keeps getting better. Comfortable beds and furniture. The BEST views, right on the lake. Listen to the waves crashing and when it’s calm watch boats go by. Many outdoor spaces to relax, visit, and have a cup of coffee. I cannot wait to come back.

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at Cairn Cottage, and both times have been peaceful, and restorative. Exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful haven.

5 people, 4 skiers and one who loves some alone time. Close to the ski hill, the short drive to Lutsen is worth the amazing view, hearing the waves all night, and comfy living. Great communication and loved the gift of pancake mix and syrup! Perfect for 2 couples and one teen. Only bad thing was the book and game selection was so good I didn't get to any of the projects I brought along!

This is our third time staying at this cabin. We always enjoy the proximity of the lake and the short drive to Lutsen. The cabin is always clean and cozy. Only issue is the fireplace that wouldn’t stay on for more than 10-15 mins and then wouldn’t turn back on for hours, which was a bummer after a chilly day on the hill.

The cottage was very nice and clean with everything we needed. The fireplace didn’t work properly and the kitchen cabinets need a little repair. We did have a great stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful setting right on Lake Superior. Very convenient to nearby parks, hiking and Lutesn and Grand Marais. Lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy the lake. Very quiet!

Little slice on the great north

Our get together this year at Cairn Cottage was nice. The weather was great for October.

Best stay in 46 years. No rain over 7 days. The lake was calm and peaceful for the first 4 days. Do clear you could see the bottom. We never experienced this in the 46 years we’ve been going to the North Shore.

Cairn cottage has everything a person needs for a wonderful vacation on the North Shore.

We loved staying in this cozy retreat! Perfect for our family of four.

We have been here before and will be there again. The location is spectacular, the cabin is comfortable and we are glad the new stairs to the shore are in place. We were so, so happy.
