A: Some of our rental homes are pet friendly (depending upon the wishes of the home owner).  Pet friendly homes are clearly identified on the website, or you can choose it as a criteria in your search.  There is a $50 fee per pet, per stay. 

 

A: No.  The reservation price includes a cleaning fee in which we will have someone clean and prepare for the next guest.  However, we do ask that you leave the home ready for the cleaner, such as cleaning up after a pet, removing garbage, loading and running dishwasher, etc.

 

A: No.  Towels and sheets are provided, as well as kitchen amenities such as pots, pans, knives, etc.  Most other amenities are listed with the property description.  If you need a particular amenity, just ask. 

 

A: Our office is located in Tofte, at 7210 West Highway 61.  It's the yellow building right next door to Bluefin Bay. 

 

A: If your carrier is Verizon, you will have cell phone service along most of Highway 61 up to Grand Marais and a little bit inland.  Service for other carriers is spotty at best. 

 

A: No, Cascade Vacation Rentals simply manages the rentals and maintenance of these homes.  The home owners usually live elsewhere and rent out these second homes.  The rental homes are usually well-loved family retreats.  Many have been in the family for generations and have unique architecture and history.  The rental binder in the home will often provide these details. 

 

A: Yes!  Lovely weddings have been held at many of our rental homes.  Please call our rental agents and they will be happy to direct you toward some wonderful settings. 

 

A: We don't have one home that will fit more than 14, but we do have many options for family reunions.  Many of our rental homes and condos are located very close together.  Your party can reserve a few and use one as the central gathering place.  This is a huge improvement over using a hotel lounge as the central gathering place, and you can cook together, too!

 

A: We get this question a lot.  While there are certainly wonderful hotels and resorts in the area, vacation rentals offer some advantages, especially for families.  Some of the top reasons are:

1. Tons of Space: Whether you’re traveling with two, four or 14, you want to enjoy your vacation on your own terms. With multiple bedrooms and bathrooms and at least one central gathering place, vacation rentals offer the right space for every size group. Forget the hassle of trying to coordinate hotel rooms for a big group.
2. Pure Privacy: A vacation rental home offers privacy from the big crowds and close quarters at hotels and resorts. You and your family have the place to yourselves. 
3. Budget: Vacation rentals are cost efficient, particularly for groups of four or more. You’ll save hundreds over the course of a week by skipping restaurant meals alone.
4. Unique Homes and Spectacular Views: Vacation homes are well-loved family retreats, often with interesting history, architecture, furnishings and more. Plus, many are right on the water, with access to views that would cost a premium at resorts and hotels.  
5. Pet Friendly: Many homes  are pet friendly.  You save on kennel bills while hanging out with your best four-legged friends. Pets deserve a vacation, too.
