Gem House is one of the newest vacation rentals offered by Cascade Vacation Rentals. This beautiful home boasts a gorgeous amethyst fireplace that enthralled our TikTok followers (39K views and counting). So, we decided to spend the night at Gem House and feature all of the amazing things you can do right within walking distance (or a short drive) of the home. Plus, we sat in front of the amethyst fireplace. A lot.

In this episode, we visited Naniboujou Lodge for breakfast, hiked to the Devil's Kettle to see the waterfall during the low-water period caused by the recent drought, and then went geocaching out to a Lake Superior island. Plus, we enjoyed a few hours in the ENO Triple Hammock stand enjoying a beautiful summer afternoon on Lake Superior's North Shore.

This episode also includes our first Guest Feature! We met with and interviewed Molly and Andy on their 10th Anniversary. Married ten years ago at Lutsen Resort, the couple now has three children and makes frequent day trips to the North Shore. However, this is the first time they've stayed at the Aspenwood Townhomes since their wedding ten years ago. Listen to what brings them to the North Shore and the special meaning the area holds for them in this Guest Feature Interview.
