- A private road for long, quiet walks any time of day.
- Less than a three-minute drive to Cascade Lodge and Cascade River State Park and its cross country skiing and hiking trail heads.
- Less than a 10-minute drive to Superior National at Lutsen, a 27-hole golf course tucked away in the Minnesota northwoods, between the North Shore of Lake Superior and the Sawtooth Mountain Range. Superior National's untamed beauty with unparalleled play has been enhanced by a $4.6 million renovation on the "River" and "Canyon" courses.

Our family has enjoyed our time at Carin Cottage for the past three years.
Margaret is a great host!

Perfect spot
Our family of four had a lovely time at the Carin Cottage. What a special treat to be right on the water! The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. We had a couple questions for the owner prior to our arrival and Margaret answered them almost immediately and was very helpful. We would definitely like to come back in the summer to experience the cottage at that time of year. Thank you!

Highly recommend this property
You can't beat the location between Lutsen and Grand Marais - and the proximity to Lake Superior. The owners go out of their way to ensure a relaxing, comfortable visit. The home is beautiful and the views are spectacular. We had one of the best family weekends ever - walking on the beach, snowshoeing, reading, watching movies and cooking together.
