Smoke alarms went off due to fireplace flue..its expensive for the shape it's in. Been coming here 25 years but found something cheaper without all the fees including no pet fees. Will be sad to leave behind all the memories but may have to due to cost...

Our Favorite North Shore Cabin

My husband and I have been staying here since 2020, when I booked the cabin as a "work from home/social distancing" getaway. It quickly became our favorite! Peaceful, rustic (but not TOO rustic), and cozy -- the perfect North Shore escape.

Cozy Cabin for our 2nd anniversary

Our stay at the Cedar Cottage was wonderful! The location was pretty central to all the things we wanted to do. It’s not too far off of highway 61, and there are some neighbors, but the cottages and other lake houses are far enough apart to maintain privacy. You’re still in the woods, surrounded by trees! And we could hear the waves of Lake Superior from the open windows The cottage is very cozy. We loved using the fireplace on the chillier nights. The kitchen was pretty well stocked! And the cottage seemed very clean. We spent one evening just reading on the deck- it was wonderful!We got to meet Danni at the gift shop and she was very sweet! The shop has many beautiful items, too.We also loved that we were able to bring our dog. She enjoyed her stay as well

Peaceful Getaway

My partner and I brought our dogs up for the weekend hoping for a snowy stay. Though we did not get any snow, our stay was beautiful and cozy. We really enjoyed having the fireplace and easy access to as much firewood as we needed! We loved it and would absolutely stay again. The gift shop is super cute and I was able to meet Danni in person there as well, and she was lovely. Definitely recommend staying here for easy access to hiking, skiing, or a cozy getaway in the woods!

Cozy Cabin with Lake View

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cabin. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with essential kitchen gear, toiletries and bedding. We loved the fireplace! It made for the perfect cozy mornings to get ready for the day and then to warm up after being out on the great hiking trails. Even though you aren't directly on the lake, it was great to be able to see the water from the deck and hear the waves crashing during the night. We will definitely return!

Such a cozy and welcoming cabin! The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable especially after we had a little mishap with the dates. Our dogs loved the large secluded yard and the cabin was very clean. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay! The cabin had a distinct smell which was a bit off-putting. Windows open and fans on helped clear it. We didn’t realize that the campfire was communal with other cabins. I think we would’ve done the bonfire had it been our own. Everything else was great and we will hopefully be back! Love the opportunity to unplug without tv!! Thank you!

Excellent, cozy, great location

Had a great time staying at Cedar cabin! The kids (ages 3 and 5) loved the games, deck, and fireplace and it was really cozy. The hosts were so accommodating and friendly. Location was so close to great hiking and to Grand Marais for some town activities!

Little North Shore Getaway

We had a peaceful stay at this sweet little cabin. We love little trips to the North Shore to escape the city and enjoy staying at different spots. This cabin was perfect for the two of us. Location is great for spending time at our favorite parks and walking around Grand Marais. We hiked Devils Kettle, and visited Cascade and Temperance River. This cabin is cute and quaint and had all the essentials for a relaxing long weekend. We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend!

Mid week getaway

Good location between Lutsen and Grand Marais. The listing was accurate and met our expectations. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. It was a tight space for 3 adults and our dog. The dog treats and blanket were a nice touch although not needed because our dog is not allowed on the furniture. We would stay here again.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We moved here from Chicago in 2013 looking to settle down in the North Woods and start a family. Our love of nature was a driving force. We were always trying to vacate the big city for camping and hiking excursions, so we decided that before we tried for children it would be great to put down roots somewhere very outdoor focused, so that our hopeful children would grow up surround by nature.

Danielle was born and raised in Minnesota and couldn’t wait to get back “home.” Spending time on the North Shore from the time she was 2, it always held a special place in her heart. Carl was born and raised in Ohio, but fell in love with the area on a visit in 2012.

We got married on the shore of Lake Superior shortly after moving here, bought our first home two years later, and were happy to welcome our first child in to the world in 2016! It’s been an incredible journey since we moved to the North Woods and the opportunity to become business owners has just added to the adventure.

We are so grateful to call these cottages ours, and will continue to put our time and efforts into improving on what is already here and so lovely.

We hope you enjoy your time here!
