Cedar Cliff Retreat - Stunning 1920's Craftsman on Lake Superior Shore

Cedar Cliff is located on a dead-end road that runs along the Lake Superior shore. From the moment you walk through the doors of this incredible home, you will feel transformed.

The magnificent great room with a massive Carlton Peak fireplace has an antique dining room table that seats 12 and a drop-leaf English table that can seat 6 more. Two large screened-in porches flank this room and the windows that run its length have window seats for bird watching and reading or lake gazing. French doors in the middle open to the stairway that leads down to the water. The north shore is known for its craggy rocks and vistas and our shoreline offers a private experience of this magnificent place.

A fully-equipped kitchen has a six-burner, professional restaurant stove and connects to a charming breakfast nook and pantry. The six bedrooms are comfortably furnished with antiques, fine linens and local artwork. The bedrooms are set to the back of the house affording privacy and separation from group activities in the great room.

Cedar Cliff is a unique environment for your north shore vacation, combining old fashioned relaxation with modern amenities and many local attractions. For special events -please inquire.

Gorgeous Arts and Crafts vintage home on Lake Superior. Beautifully furnished with "period pieces" and lots of cozy quilts. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with cookware and the huge fireplace was a delight to sit by. It was a wonderful home for my family's New Year's gathering.

Fabulous location for a large group

Such a beautiful place to stay, especially for larger groups. We come back every year because of the incredible view and the big stone fire place and the ability to sit our entire group together for dinner and give each couple their own room.

Wedding stay

We stayed at this property for 4 days and it was perfect, the view is amazing, it’s bigger in person than what the pictures show. it was very spacious, the campfire area was beautiful, its very quiet but we did have a stranger walk up on the property though so make sure you are locking the doors!

Our stay was great. A little problem with getting the code for the lock box but it was resolved. The house is a beautiful old home. We loved that there was plenty of room for all of us. The steps down to the lake were very steep so some in our party chose not to go down to the lake. The only other thing was that again some in our party would have liked a walk in shower but other than those two issues our stay was great. Loved the two screened in porches where you could hear and see the lake. Booked again for next year!

What a gem!

Loved this place. 8 adults and 8 kids (ages 1-6), had an absolute blast for a Lutsen ski weekend. Can’t wait to come back! The pictures undersell how absolutely beautiful it is.
