Beautiful lake views and lot. Right off 61, but set way off so it was still pretty quiet. Nice upper level loft with big bedroom and laundry. Good location 20 mins from Grand Marais and 15 mins from many hiking/walking trails.

We're so glad you enjoyed our beautiful views and property. Its always fun to explore the nooks crannies and paths we have. We are lucky to be such an easy in and out spot off the highway but 5 min to an easy hike at the skihill, 10 min to Cascade State Park and 20 to downtown Grand Marais. It sounds like you were able to take advantage of all we offer. Thanks for taking time to leave a review. All the best to you and Happy Trails.

Our family loved our time here and really appreciated that we could bring our dog. Twin Cedars was clean and comfortable. We spent a couple days skiing at Lutsen Mountain and this was a great place to come back to after a long ski day. The views were beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife right outside.

This property was perfect for our stay! Cozy, welcoming, and had anything we needed for our stay. Perfect for our pup as well. We are comfortable, loved the views and property down to the lake. We were easily to Lutsen for skiing and other north shore areas for meals, hiking, and cross country skiing. Will for sure book again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is so clean and comfy, plenty of room for us to spread out and do our own thing. We enjoyed dinners and games together at the big dining table, hanging out in the living room, and taking walks with our dog on the paths and down to the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Becky

Host profile image
Both Jim and I grew up in the Chicago area and live in the City now.
My husband Jim has been traveling to the North Shore since he was boy and has great memories of his family vacations there.
My first trip to the North Shore was just after we were married 15 years ago. I fell in love with area immediately and never wanted our vacations to come to an end.

Why they chose this property

We have been looking for the perfect house and piece of property ever since our first trip up together. Finally our dream came true this past year.
Growing up in, and living in Chicago now, we love the fact, that when at Twin Cedars we can't see our neighbors. That was very important to us.
We try to get to Twin Cedars every chance we get but in the mean time want to share this beautiful piece of the North Shore with you.

What makes this property unique

I remember vividly my first glimpse of Lake Superior right from the driveway. As I walked down the gentle sloping path into the yard for the first time, I saw a cute little footbridge crossing over a seasonal creek. Not only did I have a beautiful, walkable, ledge rock shore stretching out in front of me but a babbling brook as well.
As I strolled up the small creek bed lined with stones and wild roses I realized we had a small Springtime waterfall located just off the deck. This is one of my husbands favorite things to enjoy while grilling.
Inside the house is all 'Knotty pine' that gives you that true 'Up North' feeling.
This is a 1960's custom built house with lots of fun interesting features. With the updated track lighting you can either do some fine needle work and reading or have a cozy family movie night.
Both the Family room and A-Frame have fantastic views of the lake. Just off the A-Fame are a few bird feeders rigged to attract a variety of species and with windows all around being from floor to ceiling the bird watching can be exceptional. It sometimes feels like you are in your own tree house.
The Family room has a huge picture window that looks out over the deck and Lake Superior. You can see all the way to the Horizon here.
