Who needs the hassle and expense of flying when you can drive someplace spectacular in just a few hours? Hop in the car and head 'up north', it's a beautiful drive and there's no extra charge for your luggage!

Enjoy a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath private home as your home base in this recreational paradise. Lutsen's ski hills are just 1/2 a mile up Ski Hill Road, you can see the ski runs from the master bedroom window. This is the best skiing in Midwest! Cross country ski, snowshoe or take dog sled and sleigh rides along Lake Superior at nearby Lutsen Resort. Miles of scenic snowmobile trails through beautiful forests are nearby and easily accessible.

Hundreds of miles of spectacular hiking trails criss cross the forests and mountains. Mountain biking and horseback riding are available at the top of the hill. Kids of all ages will love the Alpine Slide just up the road. Ride the Gondola to the top of Moose Mountain and have lunch on the deck of the chalet, it's a spectacular view! Golfers, Superior National Golf course offers 27 holes of beautiful scenery and challenging golf right across Ski Hill Road. Bikers, the new Gitche Gami bike path lets you ride all the way to Schroeder even passing over the waterfalls of Temperance River Park. Enjoy a smooth ride on a dedicated path not shared with motorists, what a nice addition to the north shore.

Our home was professionally decorated and it's very comfortably furnished. The master bedroom suite offers a private retreat after a hard day at play. There's a whirlpool for two and a private bath and every window offers a beautiful view of mountains, trees or Lake Superior.

Set in the trees on with no buildings behind it to block the view. Every window that faces the lake has a view of the lake as does the covered deck and screen porch. There's a fire ring to gather around for evenings under the stars and let me tell you, they are spectacular here. It's the ideal vacation home for families and friends. Close to everything you love about the north shore, but away from the crowded resorts.

About Jo

If you have never tried snowshoeing, you don't know what you are missing! We are often the only people out on the trails and we can go anywhere we can hike, no need for a groomed trail. The beauty of the area is always there but there's something really special about seeing it all coated in snow. The bare trees allow for views you don't see in the summer. Strap on some snowshoes on your next winter trip and see for yourself, it's amazing!

Jo purchased this house in 2002
Why Jo chose Lutsen

We go to the north shore as often as we can, sometimes several times a year. We finally decided owning a home 'up north' made sense for us so we bought a vacation home in Lutsen. Of all the areas along the north shore, Lutsen has the most activities nearby making it a great place to go for an active vacation. We love to hike, snowshoe, golf and of course, watch the 'big lake', all of which we can do within 1/2 a mile of our home.

What makes this house unique

Our home is one of only 12 homes that share 20 acres, it's not part of a resort so it's quiet and private but still really close to everything we love to do in Lutsen. We appreciate being out on our screen porch or deck and seeing trees and the lake, not other buildings. What made us fall in love with it is the decor. The home was built in 2001 and decorated right after September 11th so the builder's professional decorators chose a red and white and blue color scheme, it's very colorful and so unique. When we say it's cute, it really is, people love staying here.

Such a perfect place to stay

5 of 5
Submitted: March 28, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
We stayed in this cabin last summer, and many months later we all still recall it fondly. It was comfortable, cute, and clean, and met our family of 6 needs perfectly. We loved the screened porch for breakfasts (view of the lake while we ate), and found the kitchen adequately stocked with everything we needed. Our girls loved playing the games on hand during our downtime, and the bedroom configuration allowed us to be up after the kids were asleep for the night. It was also great to have 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer. The location is excellent- just a minute or two from both the lake and the ski hill (where we spent the day doing the Alpine Slides and riding the gondola for a lunch break). All in all, everything was perfect and we will definitely be back... maybe to ski next time.

Owner's Response: It is always wonderful to hear our guests found our home to be a perfect fit for their vacation. We're happy you appreciated the floorplan, it is ideal for families and friends vacationing together, everyone has space for rest and common areas to share in the fun of games, movies, meals and campfires. Lutsen has lots to do and being close to it all makes the most of vacation time. That's true in every season. We hope you return to enjoy it in the winter too, it's every bit as beautiful. Thanks for sharing your comments on your stay.

Lutsen Ski Cabin

Submitted: March 2, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Delightfully pleasant, wonderfully warm and quiet ski/vacation/retreat cabin. Well stocked kitchen allowed us the chance to prepare creative and delicious meals. Comfortable great room - dining area - kitchen led to pleasant hours of relaxation and "shutting out the world" time. Would recommend this to anyone wanting some peace and solitude from a hectic world...

Owner's Response: We love hearing our guests enjoyed sharing meals and spending time as a family in our Lutsen vacation home. There is so much to do outdoors up north but at the end of the day, a cozy home to return to rest up makes a trip more comfortable and memorable. We hope you'll come again, you'd love it in any season.

We stayed here for a weekend of skiing with our family. We had a great time, the cabin was perfect for our small crowd. The fireplace and tub helped us relax our sore muscles after full days on the slopes.

A perfect fall weekend!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 2, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My husband and I and another couple stayed here Thurs.-Sun. for a long weekend of hiking and relaxation. We had excellent weather and the fall colors could not have been more beautiful. We had been in Lutsen several times before and wanted try to stay together in one cabin. There was plenty of room for all of us. The home was exactly as pictured. It was very clean and had everything you would need. It was a comfortable place to return to have a great meal and relax after our hikes. We made several fantastic meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The only one negative would be that it would have been more comfortable to have had a queen size bed vs a double bed in the second main floor bedroom-but that wouldn't stop us from returning again. Jo, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. We had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend this property. Thanks for sharing your home!
