About this property

Lorelei of the Lake - Charming Cabin & Guest Cabin on the Shore of Lake Superior

Lorelei of the Lake - located just feet away from majestic Lake Superior on legendary Cascade Beach Road, "Lorelei" is the perfect property for all seasons. Comprised of a 2 bedroom main cabin and 1 bedroom guest cabin, this property was completely renovated in 2021. And while it has all the amenities you'd expect from a new project, the renovation stayed true to classic Minnesota cabin architecture and will take you back in time.

The 2 bedroom main cabin has a wonderful open floor plan that features a combined gathering room/kitchen area with a wood-burning fieldstone fireplace for those often chilly nights (fire wood included of course!!). It features classic Minnesota aged pine walls and ceilings, painted hardwood floors, a lakeside master bedroom with a queen sized bed and a guest bedroom with a queen bed and single built-in bed nook. The bathroom is also newly remodeled with new cabinetry, stone countertops, fixtures, and a tile shower. The main gathering area features a built-in game/puzzle table, a wood burning fieldstone fireplace, along with rustic, yet comfortable, furniture and sitting areas for a rainy day or movie night! The kitchen is well equipped for the chef of the family with new appliances, high end dishware, small appliances, and cutlery. But the highlight of the cabin is picturesque Lake Superior, which is located only 30’ lakeward from the cabin. The gradual elevation to the lake allows for fun exploration along the rocky shoreline, and includes a lakeside firepit and an expansive lakeside deck for morning coffee or outside dining.

The guest cabin is equally quaint, also newly remodeled, and furnished “to the nines”. In addition to the queen bed, there is a daybed (single) with a trundle underneath (also single) to accommodate 4 guests in the guest cottage. Other features include a Jotul gas fireplace, a small “coffee bar”, a small table for cards, breakfast, or coffee, and a newly renovated bathroom with new cabinetry, stone countertops, fixtures, and a tile shower.

For those that need to stay connected, Lorelei also includes lightning fast High Speed Wi-Fi throughout the structures and a high definition Smart TV in the main cabin for streaming shows and movies.

This property is perfect for a family, an extended family, or a couple families; we have a strict limit of 9 occupants. There are 3 Queen beds (1 per bedroom) and 3 single beds. We do keep our calendar updated at all times and so if you are seeing availability then it’s likely available. Upon reservation confirmation you'll receive a complete 'what to bring' list in advance so you are prepared for your time up north. And feel free to inquire with any questions you may have and we’ll be prompt to reply! We pride ourselves on keeping our property and structures/equipment pristine and are certain we'll exceed your expectations in that regard.

Lorelei is perfectly located northeast of the town of Lutsen about 3 miles, and southwest of Grand Marais by 14 miles. For those planning to ski, the Gondola at Lutsen Mountain is 6 miles away. For those looking to snowmobile, you can jump on the main trail less than 1 mile from the cabin. And for the hikers there are literally dozens of world class hiking trails located with 10 miles. And for the wanderers in the group the towns of Grand Marais, Lutsen, Tofte, and Schroeder are filled with fun shops and galleries to explore. Lorelei and the North Shore Area is wonderful in all 4 seasons.

Stunning and peaceful water getaway
This was a magical stay for our group of friends. The hosts provided easy communication, a welcome feel, and were very accommodating. The place itself is complete with every coze decor and every appliance/accommodation you could think of for a comfortable stay (including a grill, KitchenAid, and popcorn popper!). A short drive from Lutsen mountain, we spent our sunny day exploring the beautiful foliage. The other two days of our trip rained nonstop, but since the cabin was so comfortable and cozy with a spectacular view right on the water, we didn't feel like we were missing out at all! We just opened the windows to hear the loud, crashing waves outside and played many of the available boardgames by the indoor fire. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Luxury lakefront cozy cabins
We loved staying at the Lorelei cabins! We had two couples and it was so nice for each of us to have our own cabins that were so well appointed! The kitchen had everything we needed. We cooked all meals at the cabin day. We utilized the grill on the deck and the fire pit. We loved having the fire pit within feet of the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and soaking up the autumn sun while gazing at the lake and relaxing. Having all the firewood we needed was so wonderful. This property is centrally located to everything we needed included hiking and riding trails. We will definitely be back to stay again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Perfect in every way!
The comfort and quality of this duo of cabins is beyond words. You walk in and feel well. The location is so great for the best hikes and proximity to grand Marais. We loved being right next to the water. The outdoor spaces were comfortable for our gatherings. Outside fire pit fabulous. Wood there. Ready. The road is lovely for long walks on a gravel surface and you meet kind neighbors. We did not want to leave. Thank you.

~The Balmer Families' North Shore Story~
We are 2 families, Jeff & Lindsay and Matt & Renae and our kids. We live in Central Minnesota in "Lake Country" and enjoy all it has to offer, but we have been visiting the North Shore for many years, either by visiting and camping at the many state parks and private campgrounds, skiing at Lutsen and staying at the resort or traveling the Gunflint Trail. We have dreamed of our own cabin for some time now, and in 2021 we made that a reality when we purchased " Lorelei of the Lake". We spent a good portion of the year updating the property on family work weekends, always with a little fun mingled in! We couldn't be happier with our location on Cascade Beach Road and just steps away from Lake Superior. We love everything this location has to offer and have enjoyed our time so far in all seasons. Because of our busy lives and kids going in all directions, we don't make it to Lorelei as often as we would like, so we want to share the experience with others! Between our 2 families we own and operate 4 other vacation rentals near our homes in Crosslake and are experienced in providing a thoroughly enjoyable vacation getaway.

Why they chose this property

Why Lorelei? It may just take you back in time a little.... It is an authentic cabin, with warm wood walls, a wood floor, cozy furniture and an ever-present crackling fire. Superior will draw you in, like the story of the Lorelei, you will be mesmerized by the lake just outside your door and her beauty, whether it is the gently lapping water under a summer full moon or the angry icy waves freezing on the shore during a winter storm. Hike some of the world class trails, ski Lutsen Mountain overlooking Superior, enjoy a local brewery specialty on a roof top deck, or go fishing on an area stream or lake - all within 15 minutes - and you will have a cozy retreat waiting for you at Lorelei after taking in all the surrounding area has to offer.
