We enjoyed our stay at Cascade Lodge on the North Shore of Lake Superior. We booked a room in the lodge with a view of the lake and were pleased. It was an excellent location to see all the water falls from Gooseberry State Park, Tettegouche State Park, Cascade State Park and Grand Portage, and to visit the Split Rock Lighthouse. We also spent some time in Grand Marais. The staff at the lodge was very informative and helpful. The Cascade Restaurant also has both good food and a friendly staff.

The room was good. We were plagued by mosquitoes, as the motel room door had gaps around it. The amenities are few, except that the location is great and has lots of hiking opportunities. The rooms had coffee makers. I prefer to get coffee already made. Unfortunately, this was left over from the previous day 2 of the 3 days we were there. The restaurant has good food.
