I have going the Cascade lodge for 11 years. I can't image going anywhere else. The owners have poured their heart and soul into updated the place without taking away the charm. I have stayed in cabins 2,3, and 11. and the motel units. It is amazing to wake up and see that beautful lake and have access to the... More

Stayed for a few nights this month in the "motel" building. It was nice and as described. The rooms were kept up nice. The owners appear to doing a lot to upgrade the facility and installed some dividers between the A, B, and C units. The property has great history and with the upgrades being made is set for years...

I was first put off by all the "God talk" - took down the 2 pieces of "artwork" in our room because of the religious content/tone and noted many God-related books in the common areas of the lodge. The Christian alliance is nowhere cited on the lodge's website; had it been then I wouldn't have made a reservation there. The... More

The little book in the cabin that provides information has, on its list of suggested activities: "Contemplate God's goodness and glory." I would like to point out that such manipulative statements are telling people how to feel - UNCOOL - and counter with, "Contemplate thread count. It matters more than you might think." The cabin was warm, tiny, and functional... More

If you need wi-fi, cable TV, big paved parking lots and room service, then this is NOT the place for you. If you want rustic romantic cabins with character and ambiance, creaking screen doors and a fireplace, then take a look. Long relaxed meals, hiking, reading, and exploring the woods, creeks and shoreline; and that quaint, old-fashioned thing called TALKING... More

Beautiful area. Enjoyed restaurant next door. Staff we came in contact were pleasant. We stayed in room 204 in the lodge. Room was clean. Bathroom looked like it had been recently redone. Bed was uncomfortable. Mattress and the rest of the furnisher need to be replaced. One of the window panes in the room was cracked. Deadbolt didn't work. Lodge... More

I absolutely loved my visit to the Cascade Lodge. I would highly recommend it to any traveler, with kids or not. Their are many choices of rooms to stay in and it is a historic lodge with cabins surrounding it. The owners Mike and Maureen have made substantial improvements in the past few years and continue to work hard to... More

Our plans were for cross-country skiing but the unseasonably warm week leading to and during our stay melted all the snow. Instead we brought our bikes and with helpful advice from the lodge found our way to the Gitchi-Gami trail. Wonderfully easy ride but spectacular views of the snow melt through the many creeks with outlets to the big lake.... More

We discovered Cabin 11 at the Cascades several years ago and have stayed there three times, the most recently in November 2011. Cabin 11 is a true, rustic log cabin located inconspicuously behind the Cascades restaurant on Highway 61 close to Lutsen and Grand Marais. Real estate agents often quote :Location, Location, Location" when decribing a property and Cabin 11... More

Again this October returned for fall color and the weather and leaves were perfect. We rented Cabin 3 this time as we knew it has a nice wood fireplace for cool evenings. The cabin was built in 1922 and the interior just beautiful. The logs really are impressive. While the cabin is historic we had modern movie channels and free... More
