Timber-frame Beach Chalet on Lake Superior between Lutsen and Grand Marais
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 abundantly spacious 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!

Our stay was wonderful! We enjoyed the gorgeous views of the lake, the beautiful furnishings, and the attention to detail was immaculate. We can’t wait to come back next year!
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!
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!
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.
We enjoyed our stay and experience at the property and the nearby hiking trails.
The northern lights on Saturday night were fabulous and the cabin is so comfortable with its rustic elegance and sunrise views of Lake Superior.
We enjoyed every minute.
Thank you for a satisfying respite from our busy lives.
We had a beautiful stay again here! It's the perfect place to unwind, enjoy eachothers company, play games, and being so close to the water, to hear those glorious sounds of the waves! Just love it and Rebecca is amazing as a host! So thoughtful and every attention to detail is amazing! We will be back!attention to detail
Staying on superior in the midst of winter is not everyone’s cup of tea, But we love the wild lovely lake in all seasons, staying in a beautiful cottage is the secret, and this one is absolutely lovely, with beautiful amenities and an incredible setting. Loved it!
We have been coming to the north shore for many years and brought the whole family this trip. We all had a wonderful time and were very comfortable with the accommodations. We cooked in the beautiful kitchen, enjoyed tub soaks and played games. The shore provided us much enjoyment watching the waves, rock hunting and star gazing that never disappoints. We also enjoyed hiking, waterfalls and fall color. We will miss falling asleep to the sound of the waves and look forward to another return trip.
We stayed here for our annual girls ski weekend, unfortunately it was too cold and windy to ski. But that was okay because it was so fun to spend time at the beautiful cabin! The location is great, near lots of local attractions. Strongly recommend AWD, our vehicles had no problems but glad to have it. The fireplace was a huge bonus and we loved having a fire every night! Plenty of linens, towels, etc. Kitchen was gorgeous. We hope to be back!
We had the most amazing time celebrating my MIL's 70th birthday, along with my husband and our family! What a location! Spent many evenings around the fire making s'mores and many mornings drinking coffee and skipping rocks on the lake shore just steps away from the front door. It was the most beautiful setting with the moonlight pouring into the large dinning room window during dinner! Oh the beds!! They were lovely, clean and comfortable! We will be back! Thank you again for the lovely stay!
Fantastic place for extended family (3 generations) stay. Really enjoyed the spacious great-room with awesome views of Superior, just steps away, on the days when the weather was "North-Shorey", as well as the perfect outdoor dining/fire-pit area on warm sunny days (and nights, when we spent many hours, sometimes between 2-4 AM, watching the Persied meteors). We really appreciated that the adjacent foliage is kept trimmed so as to not obstruct the view. Loved the beach ("right there") for collecting perfect stones for rock painting (we left a few around for surprises) and for building cairns.
as close as you can get to Lake Superior w/o diving in
Our group of 8 adults (a tight but doable squeeze sleep-wise) had an incredible time here! The views are stunning, and the kitchen is open, large, and can handle a big group.
You won't want to leave the house, but Grand Marais and many hikes await you a short drive away. It was such a gift to have the stony shoreline accessible by a short walk out the door--we spent every sunrise outside. Plenty of firewood was provided, but more can be requested. Communication with the owner was easy and responsive. Loved every minute.
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

Cedarwood Hollow is a magical place. Lake sounds fill your ears and clear your mind. The cabin has been so thoughtfully laid out and decorated. Every light switch is labelled. The appliances are top notch. The kitchen is exactly how you'd want your own laid out. Open and inviting. Our family flowed from space to space easily and naturally as conversations flowed. Great cuddling couch. Perfect table for puzzles with views of the lake everywhere. We can't wait to go back. (Spoiler alert - --we already booked 3 additional stays for the coming year!!)
This was our second time staying here and once again, we loved it! Beautiful home in the very best location, incredible beach, and friendly, helpful owners make it a favorite of ours!
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.
Fabulous place to stay! Beautiful property and location. Incredible views of Lake Superior from literally every room. Sounds of the waves. Relaxing. Comfortable beds.
My friends and I loved this cabin and declared it will be our getaway from now on. This property is beautiful, clean and very well-appointed - even the kitchen knives are sharp! Highly recommend.
Unique floor plan with large windows and beautiful views of Lake Superior. Everything was very clean and organized. The host made us feel right at home. Very relaxing. Would highly recommend.
