Best Lutsen Stay Yet!

Two Cedars is the perfect fit for our family (two adults, three teens, a big dog)! The location, the landscape, the house . . . We were all so impressed, the owners truly thought of everything. And their cleaning staff is stellar, the house was spotless. We will definitely be back!

the best

we have stayed at Twin Cedars for the past 5 years. We have always had the best experiences to share. Twin Cedars has always been exceptionally clean and well kept, Becky and Jim have been easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. The location is excellent for access to Lutsen (I prefer to ski, my wife and Rex lodge it). Happy lodgers. We will return often.

Great Location, Updates Needed

Beautiful grounds. Cozy cabin. Convenient location to general store, Grand Marais, hiking spots. The red fireplace shown in ad photos cannot be used by guests. Lighting throughout cabin is dim. Sofa is so deep that it swallows a person whole. Dining area and furniture quite nice, comfortable. No sand or salt provided for icy drive/entrance area. New gas fireplace lovely, but instructions to turn it on not updated in welcome book. Could be cleaner, some areas dusty/dirty, like top of fridge. Fold-out chair in loft needs replacing, we moved the mattress to the floor.

Amazing cabin stay

We had an amazing week stay at this cabin. It was incredibly charming and comfortable, had everything we needed, allowed us to bring our dog, and included such a fun rocky Lake Superior beach to explore and watch the crashing waves. Also loved how close we were to parks, trails and Grand Marais. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming cabin getaway!

We were looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway, and this charming cabin did not disappoint! We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning, sipping coffee while looking out at Lake Superior. We also appreciated how welcoming the property is for dogs. There was even a special water bowl and treats on hand! The location is ideal. It’s close to plenty of hiking trails and Grand Marais. The owners were responsive and made sure we were comfy. I highly recommend!

Stay on lake superior

This place is amazing! I can't emphasis enough how unique and beatiful the outdoor space is at this property. We were here in late June. There's been a fair ammount of rain lately, and the creek/waterfall that runs thourgh the yard was in full swing. I did cold plunges in lake superior every morning. We hit the alpine slide at lutsen, and did a few hikes in the area. What a great trip!

Colors galore

Our stay at this property was awesome. It’s in a perfect location for exploring the area and seeing lots of fall colors. The house is quite comfortable, with plenty of space for the three of us. The kitchen is very well stocked with necessities and there are tons of games, puzzles, movies and books to enjoy when you’re not out exploring.

Friendly and Welcoming

Twin Cedars One is a Spruce exceeded our expectations. I have to say - it's rare to find a place that is dog friendly. But, to be "dog welcoming" was beyond what we hoped for. The property is beautiful. The Lake access is amazing. The accommodations - very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would be delighted to visit again.

Gorgeous shoreline and natural gardens

This property has it all. Beautiful Lake Superior shoreline with lots of ways to enjoy it (fire ring, picnic area, strategically placed seating and hammock), little trails, natural landscape, profuse wildflowers, wrap around deck with birdfeeders, tasteful interior with great room and separate livingroom/TV area. Master bedroom very comfortable. It is set back from the road and feels very private. We loved it.

40th Anniversary

This was our second five night stay with Twin Cedars. Our time there was hassle-free, lived up to its billing, and we had a fantastic time with a few family members joining us for part of our days there. It is just such a beautiful cabin on lovely property. We had chunks of days there and many trips to a variety of adventures.This is a place for happy memories.

Perfect Getaway

Such a great place to stay. The A-frame is so roomy and comfortable with lots of space for everyone and the property is amazing. The trails throughout the property are so fun to explore and the views of Lake Superior are just beautiful. There is a great spot to have campfires with views of the lake and moon rising over the water. The birdfeeders bring an abundance of birds that are so fun to watching while sitting on the deck. Just a great place to spend time on the shore.

Great size A Frame!

We really enjoyed our stay at this great A frame house/cabin. Just enough space for everyone to sleep and be comfortable as well and together to enjoy each other. Also enough space and locations in the cabin where those teens and seek refuge and be alone when needed. Great bonfire area right next to the lake; as well as exploring on the large Superior rocks! Which were so much fun for the kids and dog. Really loved that the bed linens and bathroom towels were included, well stocked kitchen for baking brownies and cooking. Loved the kitchen dining area with the full wall seating. You know everyone always wants to be in the kitchen and this was a great space for that with family and kids playing games and others who wanted to be there and watch but not play! Living room area was fantastic as well on those nights where the mosquitoes just wounds allow a fire to gather and watch movies! Great back deck for those mornings with coffee the dog and watching the birds and listening to the water. Close to all the great Mnt Biking locations; as well as Grand Marias! Definitely would come back again!

Memorial Day Weekend

Everything about the property was top notch. The location was great, just down the road from Lutsen with easy access to the resort and all the other North Shore amenities. The house itself had great spaces for family activities - kitchen area, family room with open space and a great selection of board games and movies, the deck with grill and the rocky beach with the camp fire pit. Had a great time.

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.
