Couples Retreat in Minnesota: Romance at Cascade Lodge

With summer rapidly approaching, the team here at Cascade Lodge continues to gleefully prepare for an influx of travelers in search of an extended break from the city’s clutch. Year after year, we welcome hundreds of couples during the summer months, primarily because of our spacious, woodland property, undeniably romantic cabins, and proximity to Cascade River State Park (as well as nearby Grand Marais). In fact, Cascade Lodge remains the most alluring couples retreat in Minnesota. Our classic yet modernized Lutsen lodge is just steps from a seemingly endless array of outdoor explorations—not to mention those heartwarming Lake Superior vistas!
