The North Shore of Lake Superior is one of the premier destinations in the Land of 10,000 Lakes for folks hoping to enjoy autumn colors. And I think this rental cabin in Lutsen, Minnesota may just be the best place to stay in the heart of North Shore leaf-peeping country. In fact, it may be one of the best cabins in Minnesota.

When fall rolls around, folks flock to the North Shore of Lake Superior for some early season foliage adoration.

The trees at the higher elevations around Lutsen are some of the first to peak in Minnesota.
Nearby Cascade River State Park also offers some incredible fall foliage views.

The birches, aspens, and tamaracks along Lake Superior gild its shore with gold.

On the cabin's lakeside, all you'll see is incredible water views all the way to the horizon.

Shoreside, you'll be surrounded by cedar and spruce, as well as crimson and golden fall foliage.

If you’re looking for a base camp for your fall foliage adventures on the North Shore, you really can’t do much better than this rental cabin in Lutsen, Minnesota. For more information or to make a reservation (I recommend doing so well in advance), visit the cabin’s VRBO listing. Two nearby Lake Superior resorts, Cascade Lodge and Lutsen Resort, are excellent dining options. You can also find breakfast and coffee in Lutsen proper – try Fika Coffee or Lockport Marketplace – and in the charming town of Grand Marais, where I recommend the Blue Water Cafe, Java Moose, and Shook Smoothies.
