Room and stay was wonderful. We went mid July so it was hot. Air conditioning does struggle to cool upstairs so if that is important to you, keep that in mind. Most of us sleep downstairs but it was 90 outside. Room had everything we needed and was very well stocked with supplies. 15 minute drives to our two favorite parks and right by the golf course. Great communication, great location, great view.

We had an excellent stay at this Ski-In/Ski-Out 1BR Loft in Lutsen. The location couldn’t have been better—just a quick two-minute walk and we were on the slopes, which made skiing incredibly easy and convenient.The condo itself was very well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean, thoughtfully set up, and perfect for relaxing after a full day on the mountain. The loft space was a great bonus and added extra room for our group.Communication with the host was outstanding from start to finish—clear, timely, and helpful, which made the entire experience seamless.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable ski getaway in Lutsen.
