Cedar Solace Cabin: Private Forest & Lake View, Custom Sauna. 7min to Lutsen ski
Welcome to Cedar Solace, where Nordic-inspired design meets North Shore tranquility in the most authentic way possible. This isn't just a vacation rental—every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to create genuine connection with Minnesota's pristine wilderness. Nestled at the end of a private, winding drive through cedar groves, this custom 3-bedroom cabin offers complete seclusion while keeping you just minutes from the region's premier adventures.
The Cedar Solace Experience:
We've created spaces that honor both comfort and connection—where Nordic-inspired clean lines meet warm Minnesota craftsmanship. Minimalist design featuring pine and metal accents creates an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and deeply rooted in North Woods authenticity.
Custom-built Finnish sauna crafted from premium Nordic spruce by Sauna Supply Company. Features professional-grade electric heater, water bucket, and essential oils for authentic löyly steam. Enjoy stunning Lake Superior views while experiencing traditional Scandinavian wellness. Perfect après-ski recovery or post-hike relaxation. The ultimate North Shore retreat ritual.
Your Private Sanctuary:
The master suite becomes your personal retreat, featuring a king bed, private en-suite bathroom with an insulated soaking tub offering forest views, and walk-in glass shower—perfect for unwinding after a day of North Shore adventure. Whether you've spent the day skiing Lutsen's slopes, hiking Superior trails, or simply exploring the charming streets of Grand Marais, this space offers restoration.
Two additional bedrooms provide king and queen beds plus bunk beds, thoughtfully designed for families or groups seeking both comfort and space.
The Cabin:
The heart of our cabin showcases a custom metal fireplace surrounded by authentic north woods modern elements, all complemented by local Minnesota art.
Our large kitchen island serves as the natural gathering spot, equipped with a fully-stocked kitchen that makes meal preparation easy. Whether you're brewing morning coffee while taking in those stunning lake views or preparing hearty après-ski dinners after a day on the mountain, this space brings people together in the most natural way.
Modern Comfort in Natural Setting:
We've incorporated modern amenities that enhance rather than distract from your North Shore experience. In-floor heating keeps the space perfectly comfortable year-round, while fast WiFi ensures you can share those incredible sunset photos or work remotely if needed. For winter enthusiasts, our ski rack and boot warmers mean you can head to Lutsen Mountains at a moment's notice with properly maintained gear.
Outdoor Living:
The expansive patio overlooking Lake Superior becomes your front-row seat to incredible sunrises, dramatic weather systems, and star-filled evening skies. Just below the patio, a fire pit area offers comfortable seating.
Fire up the gas grill for outdoor feasts while soaking in those beautiful Lake Superior views—there's something magical about preparing meals while watching the lake's ever-changing moods.
We're completing the authentic Nordic experience with a custom sauna installation this fall. Picture yourself after a day of adventure—stepping into your private sauna for traditional Finnish relaxation, then cooling off on the patio with those stunning lake views. This addition will create the complete North Shore wellness experience, honoring the region's Scandinavian heritage while providing the ultimate in restoration.
Adventure Gateway:
Adventure awaits at your doorstep. Superior Hiking Trail access means you can step directly from the cabin onto some of Minnesota's most spectacular hiking routes. Snowmobile trails provide winter access to the region's extensive trail network. And just 7 minutes away, Lutsen Mountains offers world-class skiing and year-round mountain adventures.
Perfectly Located for All the Things:
- 7 minutes to Lutsen Mountains (skiing, hiking, mountain biking) - 6 minutes to Superior National Golf Course - 5 minutes to North Shore Winery - 15 minutes to Grand Marais (dining, shopping, harbor walks) - Direct Superior Hiking Trail access - Immediate snowmobile trail connections
The Privacy You Crave:
Located at the very end of Mountain Ash Lane cul-de-sac, Cedar Solace offers the increasingly rare gift of privacy. Our long, scenic driveway leads through mature cedar groves to your secluded sanctuary—no neighbors behind you, just forest, lake views, and the profound tranquility you came here to find.
*Winter note: All-wheel drive is recommended for our scenic, tree-lined driveway during snowy months—but it's absolutely worth it for the privacy and forest serenity that awaits.*
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, family adventure, friends' retreat, or simply need to reconnect with nature's rhythm, Cedar Solace provides the perfect backdrop

Beautiful, secluded location. Love the open kitchen and living area with great view of lake Superior. Elegant master bath. Is close to lots of things to do; Lutsen ski hill, hiking, fishing and just a short distance from Grand Marais. All at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay at Cedar Solace! The Host was super attentive, and for a new listing, they really had a great attention to detail. This place is the perfect blend of modern amenities and nature's serenity. Everything was neat, clean, intuitive, and well appointed. The furniture was super comfy, and there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows if you want to lounge around and just absorb the natural beauty. Additionally, it's really close to Lutsen and about 25 minutes to Grand Marais, so you'll have plenty of things to explore nearby. We'll definitely be back!
Cedar Solace was a wonderful place to enjoy the North Shore at Thanksgiving. Watching the 'Gales of November' on Lake Superior from the cabin windows was pretty wild. The heated floors and the big gas fireplace were the perfect combination to keep the cabin toasty warm despite the blustery winter winds. The hosts have thought of everything one could possibly need: a well-appointed kitchen with nice appliances including a gas stove, quality linens & bath products, beautiful finishes, and local artwork throughout. Oh, and the sauna! Who knew one could make a steamy snow angel!Overall, we had a lovely stay and look forward to returning next time we visit Grand Marais.
Our entire stay was more than perfect! Absolutely beautiful cabin with a contemporary “loft” vibe snuggled into the woods with a gorgeous view of the lake! Lindsey and her family were very communicative and clearly wanted to make sure we had all we needed. The sauna was fantastic with all of the little extras provided to make it perfect! The kitchen was fully stocked right down to a frother! The laundry facilities were so nice to have direct access to! The beds were very comfortable and the rooms offered nice privacy for everyone in our group. We were minutes from the mountain so getting to the lift was a breeze ! Gaining entry was smooth and the driveway up was cleared and safe! We absolutely loved our time there ! Thank you Lindsey & family ! Happy New Year!
We just returned from our lovely stay in Lutsen and I’m already missing our mornings spent on the patio enjoying the lake view! The cabin was spotless - you can tell the owners take great pride in their property. The bathtub was a treat and the fireplace became our favorite spot in the evenings. It’s very a peaceful property and the locations is wonderfully private in the woods. I was surprised at how close everything is. We made it up to Grand Maria’s easily for dinner, the Lutsen Ski Resort gondola was close by and plentiful trails for hiking in the area. Everything was well arranged and comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed to prepare breakfasts annd lunch and included tea and coffee. We would come again!
We stayed at this beautiful cabin in Lutsen for the weekend for our anniversary and absolutely loved it! The place was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It was stocked with everything we could possibly need, from a fully equipped kitchen to all the bathroom essentials. We were able to cook and grill full meals with ease, which made it feel like a true home away from home.The sauna and Solo Stove fire pit were such nice touches and made for the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to see Lake Superior through the large windows as the morning sun poured in is a memory we’ll never forget.The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the cozy décor made the entire cabin feel warm and inviting. Every detail was well thought out, and it’s clear the hosts put a lot of care into making guests feel welcome. We can’t wait to come back!
This was such a stunning getaway I would book over and over. I wanted to find something that was quiet, private, and a total nature getaway and this was absolutely it. You can’t see or hear the neighbors (it is a multiple acre property) which was the #1 thing I wanted. You have a beautiful view of the water and I loved the soaking tub and fire pit area for relaxing around just listening to nature. It was paradise for the few days I was there 3 The house was beautiful and modern….so many gorgeous touches that made it upscale and beautiful. The heated floors were so nice and cozy, and a super spacious kitchen with everything already there that you needed to cook with, which made it way easier to relax for a few days.Also Lindsey the host is AMAZING! The absolute nicest person, like booking with your best friend and not with a stranger. She took care of everything.Overall an incredible stay and I would give it 10 out of 10 stars if I could! Book it, you will not be disappointed!
Our new favorite place to stay on the North Shore! Location is great w/ easy access to Lutsen Mountain skiing and a short walk to a public park on Lake Superior. Being away from the lake a few blocks meant it was a little warmer and less windy, without sacrificing the beautiful views. Kids enjoyed exploring the woods and adults loved watching the sunrises over the water. Wonderful hosts. Very clean house with comfortable beds and blackout blinds. The most special feature is the brand new sauna with views of the woods and lake — wow! We are frequent visitors to the North Shore and have stayed at probably 15 houses/resorts around Lutsen in recent years, and this one earned the highest rating from all four members of our family. Thank you!
