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.

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!

Beautiful setting
Our family of 12 enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage to celebrate birthdays. The setting right on the shore of Lake Superior can’t be beat. The fire pit is fabulous and we all enjoyed exploring down on the rocks and waterfalls. Enjoyed cooking together, sharing meals & playing games at the fabulous large dining table. What a fun weekend we had.

On Golden Pond perfect house
Cedar Cliff is a charming home from another time. Great attention has been paid to details...the furniture, the lamps, the well-organized and furnished kitchen. The two screened porches were great for relaxing and reading. The views of the lake were suburb! We had a red full moon and red rising sun thanks to the haze. They were spectacular. And, the location, in Lutsen was perfect for hikes on all the rivers.

Best Gem on the North Shore to Stay!
We always enjoy coming to Cedar Cliff for our annual gathering. This was our 8th time here in the past 10 years. Never grows old (and never do we!). The place is so charming and spacious for our large group of friends. We designate one of the porches for our jigsaw puzzle that we work on and the other porch for reading and relaxation. So great that we can all eat around the large table. The place is stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware. We will definitely be back.

Our family of 8 had a wonderful stay at this Lake Superior gem. The location is incredible. Everything we needed was stocked and ready to go. We enjoyed the 'bones' of this 1930's era house. Grateful to have had a great experience that provided memories for decades.

Lovely property. Room for all. It is however, very dark inside . We cooked dinner each day for 12. The oven would not stay lit after the first few days of our stay, so we improvised. I was not able to bake the huge box of brownie mix! We did enjoy the space. Thank you!

Beautiful Location, With a Sizeable and Charming House
The Cedar Cliff property is in a beautiful location overlooking Lake Superior! The house is older and charming, and the owners stocked it very well. It's only a 5 min drive to Eagle Mountain Ski Resort, and very close to the local General Store in Tofte that has everything that you'll need.

Perfect Stay
I cannot be more happy with our stay. We rented Cedar Cliff as a smaller alternative for our wedding. The space was large and accommodated all our guests and wedding dinner. The large table in the Grand Room was PERFECT! The location on the cliffs was amazing for our ceremony and photos. Perfect Day. If we have a question, the hosts were super responsive to all our needs. Will be back for sure!
