Nice Sighting Debby!

Debby and I watched today as an eagle passed by our office rather fast going towards Grand Marais. Not more than 5 minutes later Debby saw it fly by and land in a tree outside our office. It was so close! We went out to take some pictures – it is a little blurry but you get the point! – Kris

The winter 2009/2010 catalog is almost ready to go to the press! This smaller catalog will feature all of our homes open during the winter. It will include a map with home locations and the same amenities you have come to love. Let us not forget the photo contest winners either! Look for it in your mailbox early this November! If you haven’t stayed with us but would like a catalog, please e-mail krisb@boreal.org.

Last Hurrah

This weekend is the last hurrah for the season for Opels cabins. Most of our other 3 season cabins have closed for the winter. There are still many other homes to choose from for the rest of fall and winter. It is also the last hurrah for some of the shops and restaurants in Grand Marais. Be sure to check out our website for this weekends availability.

Eagle’s Nest Tragedy

cascadevacationrentals — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:54:16 +0000

Debby and I have both decided that the eagle’s nest by County Road 7 and Highway 61 is gone! We both noticed after the big wind/hurricane we had two weeks ago that it wasn’t there. The trees in that area look like they just snapped in half. I am in the habit of always looking for the nest on my way to and from Grand Marais. I hope they rebuild so we can see them again! I can’t imagine how much work it is to rebuild a nest of that size. I coincidently have seen eagles in that area twice this week. -Kris

Fall Colors October 6th, 2009

cascadevacationrentals — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:26:08 +0000

I just thought I would post 2 photos I took this morning of the fall colors. It is very interesting the way the fall colors have been changing. I look outside my office one direction and the colors are brilliant yellow, then I look out the other direction and there are trees that haven’t changed yet. Hopefully that means that fall will be extended for a little while longer. – Kris

Fall at Cutface Creek

Cascade River State Park Rest Area

Wow Was It Windy!

cascadevacationrentals — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 19:30:46 +0000

Monday and Tuesday winds swept our area like I have never felt before. On two separate occasions I was almost knocked down. I am not a small person either – I am 6 feet tall! Lake Superior at the Grand Marais harbor was intense. Trees were knocked down all over the county onto roads, driveways, power lines and homes. At this time there are still people without power, including Debby at our office. I thought I would include a picture of the tree that is down at the Lutsen park. Amazing how something so big can be unearthed in no time! -Kris
