My now wife and I got married at Gooseberry Falls State Park, and stayed at the Cedar Cliff Retreat with our closest friends and family over the wedding weekend. It's the perfect place to showcase the north shore. We had friends visiting from Argentina to Alaska, and all were blown away by the beauty of the house and the surrounding area. The house is well equipped for a large group. There are plenty of plates, cups, utensils, towels, a large fridge, oven, cabinet space, etc.There are instruments in the closet that were enjoyed by a few guests. It really amplified the vibes for the weekend :) The fire pit by the water is deluxe, and the rocky shore has some great spots to jump in! The listing says events allowed - make sure to notify the property owner if you plan to have an event! After a little confusion and explaining to the local property manager, the property owner was very understanding and everything turned out ok! I want to say thank you to both for understanding. Our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect. The Cedar Cliff Retreat is a space that makes you slow down and connect with those around you. The main focus is the large, central gathering space with plenty of seating. Sitting around, laughing, and catching up with old friends is really what you are supposed to be doing. It was a weekend to celebrate love, and it wouldn't have been possible without the Cedar Cliff Retreat. Thank you again.

I cannot be more happy with our stay. We rented Cedar Cliff as a smaller alternative for our wedding. The space was large and accommodated all our guests and wedding dinner. The large table in the Grand Room was PERFECT! The location on the cliffs was amazing for our ceremony and photos. Perfect Day. If we have a question, the hosts were super responsive to all our needs. Will be back for sure!

We rented this home to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. There were 15 of us, ranging from ages 14-69. The house provided most of what we needed for our stay... a bed for everyone and multiple bathrooms. The house stays true to its age and authenticity, meaning little to no updates, and leans more towards the "rustic" side. (No dishwasher, washer/dryer, etc, small bathrooms, etc... which was fine by us.) If you want to keep a fire going, be sure to purchase and/or bring lots of firewood. We loved the lake views and the large family gathering rooms! No need to bring bottled water, as the well water is delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the location, size, character, and comfort of this beautiful home!

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.

Dirty floors, dusty, rotting wood floor under toilet tank, oven worked and then it didn't. Inconsistent check-in, check-out instructions. We will not be returning to this rental.

Loved the house and 2 screen porches

Great location…incredible views…rustic cabin but needs more lighting…beautiful fireplace!

The property location and outdoors are perfect. Was wonderful to all be able to sit around the dining table. The charm can’t be beat!

We stayed for 3 nights in August 2023 with a group of 16 adults and 3 young children (aged 10 moths to 4 years). The group included Minnesotans and family from Spain on their first trip to Minnesota. Cedar Cliff is a wonderful property and setting. A few things were a little "rough around the edges", but then it is an historic kind of property with it's own type of charm. Overall we enjoyed the stay and had a great time together. We would definitely stay again, especially if we had another large group.

We loved every minute of our stay. The views are endless. The screen porches are stunning. The kitchen was well equipped for our group of ten. The house is lovely in every way. I would love to stay here again!

We stayed here five years ago for my wife's parents 45th and liked it so much we came again for the 50th. We love the house and the location.

A lodge- like house in a perfect location with wonderful views. We plan to return when we have groups to gather somewhere

Great space for an extended family! Good area in Great Room to hang out together. Kitchen well equipped for family meals. Beautiful view of the Lake!

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.

So much wonderful space: TWO huge screened porches, the longest dining table anywhere, with enough chairs to seat all 22 family members, along with enough PLATES and serving dishes and cooking pots--miraculous! FABULOUS 6-burner gas stove. And pet-friendly!! Even though most of our relatives were staying elsewhere, we found this was the perfect gathering place most evenings, for all of these reasons--and it felt very much like a return to our grandmother's huge lakeside cottage, where we spent every summer in our childhood. THANKS FOR A GREAT TIME!!

This house was amazing! Large enough for a big family. The view and access to the lake was unbeatable. Loved it!

Plenty of space and beds. Very neat historic home. Lots of fun little touches and details. We loved the big table that could fit the whole family. Bring bug spray.

Our family came together to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary, two upcoming retirements, and annual vacations for families who live in four different states and rarely have the opportunity to be together. We enjoyed the house, lake, fire side pit, and many excursions. It was delightful in every way and memorable for our family. Thank you for the opportunity.

We had a wonderful time at Cedar Cliff,the house was perfect for us.Everybody enjoyed being together with plenty of space The house was perfect,clean and it has everything you need and more. We were there late June the weather was cool. But lots of mosquitos but that is just a fact of nature and it didn't spoil our fun !!

I really liked the charm of the old house. It wasn't new, but nicely kept. Well stocked. Wonderful location and view of the lake. Good proximity to North Shore spots.

My family loved hanging out and climbing on the rocks by the lake. Spent every every at the bonfire. I enjoyed the whimsical artistic details throughout the house.

Loved this beautiful old house. It had so much character and it was big enough to have our whole family together!

Our family had a great time here would return.

Well equipped, pleasantly rustic, charming eclectic antique decor. Hope to return again someday…

We had a lovely time here. The views of the lake, the large dining table, and the screened in porches were some of our highlights. Would definitely return.

We rented this awesome house January 2022 for our family of 10, ages 23-87. I was concerned that 3 days with no TV would be a challenge. Instead it was an experience I will never forget. Our time was spent playing games, doing puzzles, cooking amazing food and telling stories. This was by far my favorite vacation. Michelle

This is a perfect property for a large group of friends/family looking to do a ski weekend at Lutsen. It's a 5 minute drive to the Lutsen mountains, but you get the incredible lake views at your house. We could not believe the beauty of the property and views of sunrise and sunset on the North Shore. The house was perfect for our group of 20, and we loved being all-together at the charming, cozy, historic house. The massive great room was ideal for eating and games, and everyone honestly loved gathering/cramming into the little breakfast nook when we woke up in the morning. We would love to return every year. It was a perfect stay.

We had a delightful stay. The cabin, location, and amenities were fantastic. We were there during a cold snap over New Year's and the cabin remained cozy and warm. The fireplace was great and is a perfect place for larger groups. Proximity to skiing can't be beat.

Although there are not a lot of modern amenities with this property, the amenities that are there were perfect for my family! The charm of the house is welcoming and cozy. The water, the outdoor fire pit, and the outdoor area were well used by us all! There’s a calming waterfall right next to the property that was fun to explore! The beds and bedding exceeded expectations when it comes to a VRBO. The games,books, and puzzles were a good variety and, again, well used . The kitchen was very well stocked and we cooked there often during our stay. We will stay again if the opportunity arises!

The location and setting are wonderful. Lovely views of Lake Superior. Lots of space for eleven women enjoying a weekend of hiking. Gorgeous fireplace. Very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed. One suggestion for owner is to add more lighting in the living area.

Enjoy the area and the house but would like more lighting.

Awesome house on Lake Superior. It was a bit dangerous for young children and the property has too much clutter for my taste.
