Its idyllic setting amidst the dynamic boreal forest of its private 3 acres is only exceeded by its distinctively designed interior and painstakingly curated décor. With an uncompromising commitment to authenticity, this entire property is meant to capture the enchantment of the North Shore and infuse it with the distinctive Scandinavian influence that is so prominent in this region's past. With 4 private bedrooms, 2 spacious bathrooms, and an open floor plan ideal for gatherings, SweetWater is perfect for hosting groups of families or friends. From interior to exterior, this cottage embodies a comprehensive approach that is unmatched in attention to detail and unrelenting in offering an inspired sense of welcome to all who visit. SweetWater can accommodate up to 8 guests. As idyllic as SweetWater is, the cottage itself is only the beginning … SweetWater Cottage is situated in the heart of the most legendary and spectacular section of the entire North Shore. Except for a few private parcels of land right along the Lake Superior Shore, SweetWater essentially sits in the middle of pristine Cascade River State Park. Hundreds of miles of Sawtooth Mountains trails (hiking in the summer, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter) are accessible right out the front door of the cabin. Cascade Lodge Restaurant & Pub is just 1.5 miles away and features great food, drinks, and frequent live music. A trail leading to Cascade Falls is only 2 miles from SweetWater's door. And within a 30-minute drive, everything the North Shore is known for is accessible: world-class hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking trails, skiing, galleries, restaurants, NorthHouse Folk School, and a vibrant live music scene. After all, SweetWater sits in the heart of Cook County and Grand Marais, which was named by Travel & Leisure magazine as "America's Best Small Lake Town" in 2023! \-- NorthLight Lodging is a family-operated, boutique hospitality operation consisting of several guest cabins along Lake Superior’s North Shore in northern Minnesota. Ranging in size from 1 to 4+ bedrooms — and all sitting along the easternmost stretch of coveted Cascade Beach Road — NorthLight's properties are located halfway between the grandeur and skiing of the Lutsen Mountains and the charming harbor town of Grand Marais. Each cabin is nestled right along the lakeshore and has been curated with painstaking attention to detail. Our goal in designing, crafting, and appointing our cabins is to embody all the subtle enchantment of the North Shore region we so love. We aspire to offer incomparably welcoming spaces — cared for with meticulous attention to detail — that foster inspiration, connection, and wonder for all who visit. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Located on a fantastic stretch of lakeshore, the house is very comfortable, with great light, a very well-done kitchen, comfy bedrooms and baths, and nice privacy. Super lake watching from the house. Hope to return in the summer to enjoy the deck and other outdoor spaces. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Our stay couldn’t have been better. ##### Barbara N.

My family booked a last minute trip up the North Shore. We couldn't believe our luck that we could secure such a beautiful place. All the rooms have comfortable beds and the kitchen was well appointed. They even have a large kitchen aid mixer. It was a bucket list item for me to stay within a stones throw to the water. This property did not disappoint and when a blizzard blew into the area the owners let us stay another night so we could wait out the storm. So thankful for their generosity to open up their little slice of heaven. ##### Noelle B.

We were four couples that went up for four days and three nights to Nordic Ski, snowmobile, rest and have some good food. Due to lack of snow, we only snowmobiled a little, but thanks to the home and area, we all enjoyed our time. We ate out a few times, ate in a few times, went for walks, went to the North Shore Winery and did a little shopping in Grand Marais. The four bedrooms were separated nicely by the bathrooms…no snoring noise. ;) We highly recommend this home, and will probably be back next year. ##### John Y.

The owners have strived for a “hygge” feel and have succeeded, big time. It is a cozy and comfortable place. Huge and well-equipped kitchen, amazing views of the lake. This property is one of the farthest from Highway 61 in the area, which makes for a private and quiet experience. Deck is great for sitting. Other reviews are correct that it may be difficult for elderly or less able people to get in and out of the bathtubs, which one must also do to shower. This is the kind of place that you hate to leave, and that you immediately scheme to come back to. Communication with owners flawless. ##### Sarah W.

Since the birth of our youngest my dad unexpectedly passed. Our wedding anniversary is coming up in early October. Needless to say, this cabin provided a wonderful space for us to celebrate the recent and upcoming joys while also mourning the loss of my dad. It was amazingly clean, beautifully decorated, and the location was perfect. Hearing the waves was such a soothing experience. We loved being able to cook meals at the house and just relax. We will absolutely recommend to friends. We hope to be back in the future! ##### Natalie Q.

Sweetwater cottage was the perfect retreat for our extended family vacation. Plenty of room for the 8 of us, well-equipped kitchen, breathtaking views of the lake, natural light, easy access to the rocky shoreline and close proximity to area attractions. We appreciated the house layout with two bedrooms and a bathroom at each end of the house - making it easy for the toddlers to go to bed early and not be disturbed. The house was clean and obviously well cared for. We were lucky enough to be at the cottage during a full moon. What a treat to go to bed and see the full moon shining across the lake. ##### Judy S.

We have rented cabins on Lake Superior for the last 10 and this cabin is definitely the nicest yet! The weather allowed us to spend a lot of time on the rocks watching the lake. The only negative I heard from the group was that the ability to watch the waves from the family room was hard due to the windows not being floor to ceiling like previous cabins. Thank you for an amazing stay! ##### Terri W.

The decorations and detail is beautiful. Everything, including the kitchen, was well stocked. Having a bluetooth speaker was a nice touch. Seemed like everything was well maintained. The layout made it feel spacious. Attention to detail was nice - like things are labeled but it’s done discreetly without using huge obnoxious labels. The welcome book included a list of local grocery stores and restaurants (very handy). We had a toddler with, after putting a few pretty things on a higher shelf, he adapted well to the space and amazingly had no interest in the wood stove, so we felt he was safe. Internet connection was good. Smart TV was nice. Access to the lake was wonderful. Rock shore was easy to get to and walk on, so close to the house! Conveniently close to Grand Marais and trails. Saw deer on both sides of the house one morning. Had great entertainment from a squirrel that was small enough to fit inside the bird feeder cage (the toddler loved this). Only a couple things a few people might want to know - You can’t park next to the house. You need to park on top of a hill and walk a very short distance downhill to the house. There are nice steps and a path and also a wagon to haul your things. It was not an issue for us. - The freestanding bath tubs are beautiful and we enjoyed them. The tubs are taller than a standard tub and there is not a separate shower. So it might be difficult if someone has mobility issues. Again, this would only be a concern if you have mobility issues. Overall, we loved the place. ##### Kim M. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara B. 8 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway Absolutely loved every minute of our stay here. We live on Lake Superior and ventured even further north to this cozy cabin. By far the cleanest rental property we have stayed at on the north shore! Appreciated the cleanliness and no sent of cleaning chemicals. The house itself had a great layout for us and main living space was perfect for cooking, playing and enjoying each others company! There was a short walk down a hill from parking to house that we didn’t realize but the property owners had a cart to help haul items down! They had every detail covered! Will stay there again! ##### Barbara B.

Sweetwater was a wonderful homebase for our family of 6 to adventure up and down the shore enjoying the peak fall colors. Close to wonderful restaurants and gorgeous hiking. We would definitely stay again! ##### Maria P.
