We went up to Lutsen a few weeks ago and stopped at the Cascade Restaurant on our drive to Grand Marais. It was the worst place I have ever stepped foot in! We walked in and I could smell a strange stench. I asked my husband if he could smell too, but he couldn't . I fluffed it off as I am pregnant and thought I was having pregnant nose. Once we were seated I could smell the dirty water on the table. (My husband could smell this) I had to use a baby wipe to clean the table before we sat down. At this point we should have left, but we didn't! I asked for a children's menu... I never got it. I went to the hostess desk and grabbed my own and tried to grab some crayons. The crayons were so slimy one stuck to my finger!!! Needless to say we didn't let our son color. We ordered the "special" tomato basil soup and BLTs. After 30 minutes and an unruly toddler we were served our soup. (not sure why it took so long for the soup. Isn't already made?) The soup was the worst thing I have ever eaten. It was literally Cambell's tomato soup mixed with a can of diced tomatoes, and curdled cream. I couldn't eat it! We decided promptly that we didn't want the sandwiches that hadn't been served to us yet. My husband went up to the hostess who defended the food and didn't apologize or anything. He was told, many people love the soup and the reason for the LONG wait was that they were short staffed. SERIOUSLY!! They charged us for our sodas and the soup that was still sitting on the table. After our unpleasant experience at Cascade we ended up grabbing lunch at Moguls in Caribou Lodge!

We stopped here for dinner, and the menu prices were higher than those found on their website. The lettuce in the salad bar was turning brown, and they had limited items from which to choose. I had a sirloin steak that lacked seasoning. The side of broccoli was fresh and well cooked. Sandwiches and burgers appeared to be about average in price, but the dinner entrees are not worth what you pay for. I would not eat here again.

Stayed here in November 2011. Dirty, musty smelling and outdated-hasn't been updated since early 70's and no maintenance since. Bathroom tub clogged badly, caulk was gross/moldy/deteriorated, lighting was very bad, room was cramped and bed was lumpy, uneven and OLD. Very disappointing since this was a birthday gift. Staff is very nice though. Restaurant staff was very good as well. I would not recommend this at all.

The northwoods version of an Aspen ski lodge. I have only been here in late summer, but the decor and ambiance is definitely outdoorsy. They also have informational nature talks and activites. Staff is very helpful in informing about the area. Some rooms have lake views, which is a relaxing touch

My plus one and I spent two nights here as part of a groupon deal and we were both genuinely happy with our overall experience. The lodge was quiet, the rooms were clean, the staff was incredibly friendly and happy to give advice on where to hike and eat, and the location is superb (easy access to hiking, lake superior, and grand marais). If you are looking for a 5-star resort with a pool, hot tub, and golf course, this is not the place for you. However, you aren't paying for that, so why would you expect that?

We have stayed at Cascade Lodge twice. Once in a cabin and once in the "motel" unit. The positives are the location. It's awesome to leave your cabin and head right into the State Park to hike and see the beautiful falls and wildflowers. Beautiful view and rocking chairs on the front porch to really take in the view of the Lake. The view of Lake Superior is fabulous and we love crossing the street, going down the steps to the water. (It's not a beach and very rocky, but doable to carefully walk. I have included pics I took across the street from lodge) The cabins are located far enough away to feel like you're in the wilderness, but close enough to Grand Marais for awesome restaurants, coffee, gift shops, etc... Both times, rooms have been very clean and staff friendly. It snowed pretty hard and there was staff out there plowing so you could get up the hill to your cabin. Huge help! This place is dog-friendly, and that's a huge plus for my family. Restaurant food was nothing spectacular, but it's handy and they have a happy hour that runs from 3-6, $1 off beer and rail drinks & 1/2 off appetizers. Dinner entrees are just fair. Mention you're a guest at the Lodge for 20% off your bill. The negatives-The place is old and needs updating. The main lodge is old school and a place to "try" and grab some wifi (which is spotty, but they are working on that) It has couches, slipped-covered chairs, huge fireplace and grand piano. Downstairs is a cement, old basement with pool and ping pong tables, sad little sitting area to watch a pretty old tv. Ladies bathroom located down there has been remodeled. There's an ice machine and snacks in vending machine, too. Really needs better decor, mattresses (our box spring was thicker than the actual mattress! That thing was SO OLD), flat screens/better cable channels and shower drains that drain. While the shower had plenty of hot water, it didn't drain well. Overall, don't expect five-star luxury. It's old. No doubt about it. Just bear that in mind when considering this lodge. It really depends on what you are looking to do and how much you want to spend. If you're looking more to spend time in the woods XC skiing, hiking, can't get any better location. If you're looking for spa-like amenities, keep looking. This isn't it.

My wife and I stayed here as part of our long overdue honeymoon. This place was a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for reasonable accommodations in the Grand Marais / lutsen area. It wasn't a high end lodge, but it was comfortable and has great access to the cascade state park. We ate at the restaurant at the lodge for 4 of our meals. The breakfast was great, especially the eggs Benedict. Burgers were pretty good too. Prices for dinner could be a little lower but due to the seasonality of the area I understand. If you are looking for a reasonable place to stay while in the area I would recommend. Especially if you are hiking at the cascade park. The trails were great.

My wife and I eat at the Cascade Lodge Restaurant at least once every time we come up to the North Shore and have been very happy with our experiences here. Last week we stopped for dinner and I had the special, which was the hot roast beef sandwich. The beef was tender and portion size was ample. A bonus was having no fat on the beef! I thought that they were a little skimpy on the potatoes, which tasted homemade as well as the tasty gravy. My wife had the Moroccan Medley and just loved it. The chicken breast was tender and not over-seasoned. The rice and vegetables were fresh and also had the right amount of seasoning. The waitresses are very efficient and not in such a hurry to not stop and make small talk with you. We'll keep going back.

I ate a couple of times at Cascade Restaurant. The first was this Summer: me and my husband stopped there without knowing if we were going to have a late breakfast or an early lunch...well, that's what brunch stays for, right? I had a plate with eggs, sausage and ham, and a toast, while he had HUGE blueberry pancakes. Then we shared two desserts: a mixed berry pie (not bad) and a chololate cake (I loved it!!). The lady who served us was very kind, I suppose she was the manager or similar. The place was half empty and quite. We had a pretty decent brunch - not outstanding, but still pretty tasty! Then we came back this Winter for a snack after lunch (recalling the cakes...). We actually ended up with the same pie (which I just tasted, since I was still full from lunch), a hot chocolate and a Baileys Irish Coffee. The waiter this time was very slow! Ok, half place was reserved for a wedding - but it still took her a very long time to serve us, and the hot chocolate's glass was also pouring the liquid a bit from the edge, leaving dirt on the table. Also, the spoons were missing (we both had whipped cream on tops). We had to stand up and go ask for them...same thing to pay our check. At the end we discovered that our waiter was on break. ?? Still, it's a decent place to go for a quick meal. Don't forget to try a dessert!

Wow, I can't remember the last time I had a meal this bad. The soup that came with my husband's meal came out quickly and tasted fine. But then we waited at least half an hour before our entrees arrived. My husband ordered broiled walleye--it was so dried out it was stiff like the sole of an old shoe. Broccoli that came with it had some raw pieces and some overcooked. There was no bread to accompany the meal. I got the hiker's steak, ordered medium. It, too, was way overdone, no pink at all and very dry. I would have told our waitress that the food was unacceptable after we took our first bites...except she had disappeared. We ate about half the food because we were so hungry but then stopped, hoping to get some attention/help. After about 20 minutes I finally flagged down another waitperson to get our waitress to come over. We calmly explained what was wrong with the food and told her that we were unhappy that she didn't check back with us once the plates were on our table. She apologized and offered us free desserts. With the bad luck we'd had with the rest of the meal, we weren't interested in more of the same. Then she said,"I can take a percentage off." I replied, "Make it at least 50%." Really, she should have comped the meal for us. We've eaten here in the past but with many other options in the area, we won't be returning.

We stopped here for an early dinner during our vacation and left incredibly disappointed. Our server Hunter was very sweet and friendly, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for: rustic and quaint. My boyfriend ordered the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and I ordered the Cajun chicken entree, which was described as being topped with "fresh pico de gallo". My boyfriends pasta was awesome, but my dish was awful. The pico was not pico: it was diced red onion and huge chunks of pinkish-white tomatoes, which tasted incredibly sour. After one small bite, I told the waitress that I couldn't eat it and would like to send it back in exchange for a pasta dish, and apologized profusely as I HATE having to send food back (I only do so if I literally cannot eat it). A few minutes later, our server returned and sheepishly asked if I wanted the chicken boxed to take home. I said no, that I really didn't like it and that it was very sour, almost bad. She then explained that the owner would not discount my meal, so she suggested I take it home. My mind was blown, and I told her that if that were the case, I didn't want anything else to eat, I would rather leave hungry. A few more minutes went by and the server returned again to tell us that the owner was going to come talk to us. We waited another fifteen minutes and finally the owner came to our table, and after shaking my hand and introducing herself, said she would not discount the food because she had tried it and it "tasted fine". I told her that quite frankly it didn't matter how it tasted to her, that I wouldn't eat it and wouldn't pay for it. She then attempted to lecture me on the principles of food costs in restaurants, explaining that she couldn't discount the food or she would lose money. I mentioned that I have worked in the restaurant industry my entire life and that the most important thing was that the customer left happy after each meal. Her response? "Agree to disagree". I couldn't believe that this conversation had even taken place. She eventually offered to discount the chicken and replace it with another meal, but I had suggested this 30 minutes prior and had been told no, so at this point all I wanted to do was leave. Thankfully the chicken was not on our tab, or I would've had a much bigger problem! I apologized to our server Hunter up and down, as it was obvious that she had felt completely uncomfortable after her rude owner's interaction with our table. We also overheard the owner making rude comments to other servers during our time there. We tipped Hunter extra just for having to deal with that woman! We will never be back, and we vacation here 4-5 times a summer. Sad, because it would've been our new breakfast spot for sure, had the owner showed any understanding of customer service and restaurant management.

Generally, it's hard to have breakfast and rate it more than a 3...Cascade Lodge doesn't go above the bar. Reasonable slightly slow service...reasonable food. Hubby had Swedish pancakes with what he thought had a canned blueberry topping...scrambled eggs...sausage. I had eggs benedict...packaged (but acceptable) hollandaise. Now...they had a chance to excel as they serve a breakfast dish with grilled lake trout (in season). The waitress said it was in season but they "didn't catch any" which means they didn't order any of course. It was the start of "leaf season" and it was busy on the North Shore all week - I would have expected they'd be stocked for it. We certainly had Lake Trout many other places. It was a very nice environment... nice view...but the food was just of the "OK" variety!

We have stayed at Cascade twice: once last summer in the lodge, and once this winter a cabin. The Lodge: are you going to receive 5-star quality rooms with fresh decor and a mint on your pillow? No. If you are going to Lutsen to sit in your room, then this isn't the place. It is quaint and the front desk folks are nice--the room is fine and the views of Lake Superior cannot be beat. Sure, the decor outdated, but I didn't have a problem with it, because I was there to explore the outdoors, and the Lodge is simply a place to sleep and freshen-up. The Cabin: a group of six of us stayed in one of their cabins--again, nothing overly fancy, but exactly what we needed for a space to hang out and crash after a day of skiing. I love how the cabins are tucked into the trail walking paths and near the river--within a minute or two you are on your way to hike into Cascade State Park. I loved having a fireplace, as well. Perfect touch on a cold winter night. And finally, the restaurant: the food is good (think diner food)--I highly recommend their burgers on the kaiser roll--a delight! However, I MUST commend them for their bar--its nothing fancy, probably 8 feet long, but it is comfortable, and they had Bell's Hopslam on tap here--no one I know has that on tap in "da Cities". Seriously, a great beer selection! Our bartender, Morgan, was really fun and added to the experience. Our customer service at this place has been top-notch. Again, if you are looking for The Four Seasons, this is not it--go to a place in Lutsen or be fancy 10 minutes north in Grand Marais. This is a site that is comfortable, cozy and relaxing, and tucked into the Cascade State Park, the views cannot be beat.

I have only been to their restaurant, but I have always been satisfied with their food. Their service is a tad bit slow, so if you are in a rush this might not be the best place to go. Their club sandwich is very good with thick cut bacon and their fries are good as well. The dinner menu does seem a bit pricey so we have only gone there for lunch.
