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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Family Holiday Gathering

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.
