Imagine stepping out onto the deck just after sunrise over Lake Superior. You sink into one of the big cushioned loungers, the kind that instantly relaxes your whole body and suddenly it feels like the entire shoreline belongs to you.

Overall very good. Everything is very dated in the house and the basement furniture needs to be replaced, but the house was clean and things appear to be well maintained. It is just an older home that is showing its age. The location is awesome if you are looking for a secluded place. We walked the private road a couple of times, which is a beautiful walk, and only saw two other people the entire stay.

We loved our long weekend in Lutsen at this beautiful home! It was perfect for our group size of six adults and eight kids. We had to do some shoveling to access the garage spaces, but that is to be expected in the wintertime at a house that is fairly remote to access. One note: the sauna and firepit require extra fees to use (125 and 50, respectively). I asked about use of the sauna for free because I had not seen that fee before booking, only after, and Liv kindly allowed us to do so. I appreciate their hospitality and attention to my messages!

All the different programmable thermostats were confusing. Some rooms were hot others cold. There was a firepit we didn't use, but there were no chairs to sit around it if we did. The sauna was great. Dock was very unstable especially in the wind and the swimming ladder is missing rungs. Highly recommend for a family getaway. Lutsen close for golf, sight-seeing and the kids favorite the Alpine Slide!

Top Tier Accommodation

I have stayed at this VRBO on a couple occasions. The accommodations are awesome! There’s a large well maintained kitchen, stocked with all appliances you could need. The beds are comfortable and the views of the lake from the living room are stunning. There’s nothing better to come home to after a long day of skiing. The host Bryn is very responsive. I hope to come back soon.

Great winter getaway!

We had a great winter getaway to Lutsen in this beautiful home! Tons of space to accommodate our large group and all the amenities of home. Beautiful views on a very peaceful lake. Our host was super responsive and helpful. With only a short drive to the mountain for skiing as well as day trips to Grand Marais for shopping and dining, the location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

What a beautiful property!!! All we expected and more. Owner was responsive to a couple of small requests. Everything we needed was there and we had a great time. We have been to the North Shore annually for over 15 years and have stayed at several different properties. This one is by far the best.
