Be on the lookout for the tiny town of Knife River. We can't pass up a stop at Russ Kendall's Smokehouse there. We always buy a chunk of smoked salmon to take with us to our cabin.
If you have a sweet tooth, stop at the Great Lakes Candy Kitchen and fill a bag with your favorite treats. If you are staying nearby, plan one dinner at Emily's...a tradition in the area.
Once you arrive in Two Harbors, you have a number of options. If it is close to lunch time, we head straight to the Vanilla Bean Cafe and Bakery.Larsmont Cottages is a favorite place to stay when we go to the North Shore with children and grandchildren. We stay in a 3-bedroom cottage and enjoy all the amenities offered by this beautiful complex. Especially memorable are late night bonfires on the shore watching the stars.
Dodge’s Log Lodges has been a favorite getaway for years when it's just the two of us. You can't get closer to the Lake Superior shore than this!

To see the most interesting attractions when you visit Two Harbors Minnesota, take Waterfront Drive for several blocks to Lighthouse Point. You can explore the oldest lighthouse that is still in operation on the North Shore. If you schedule in advance you can also stay in the lighthouse keeper's house which now operates as a bed and breakfast inn.
The views are spectacular; all three guest rooms have a wonderful view of Lake Superior. You will be greeted with freshly-baked cookies and shown to your antique-furnished room.
Adding to the feeling of welcome are terry robes & slippers, mixes for hot drinks like cider and tea and a microwave oven. Breakfast is served at 9:00 am
When we visit Two Harbors, I often stop by to see the Edna G. My 94 year old mother's name is Edna Gertrude, so we feel a family connection! The Edna G is a tugboat which worked the Great Lakes and is now preserved as a museum ship. Edna G was built by the Cleveland Shipbuilding Company in 1896.
