Lutsen Lakehouse on Lake Superior

"The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth shows His handiwork."

Reserve your stay at Lutsen Lakehouse and you will experience this passage from the Book of Psalms as Lake Superior's thundering waves crash against the ledgerock shoreline, northern lights dance across the sky, and a full moon rises over the big lake they call Gitchigummi. And that's just the view outside.

Inside, you will appreciate the comforts of a beautiful, professionally-cleaned home. Unwind by a soothing fire in the massive wood-burning fieldstone fireplace, enjoy a meal from the fully-equiped kitchen and family times around the handcrafted dining room table, and then let the sound of Lake Superior’s waves lull you to sleep.

Enjoy all this and be just a few minutes from Lutsen Ski Resort, Superior Hiking Trail, Superior National Golf Course, North Shore cross-country ski trails, and a short drive to Grand Marais and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Special memories are made at Lutsen Lakehouse! We look forward to hearing from you.

KEY POLICIES:
* Two members of your group are over 35 years old. Because the house is nicely appointed, we prefer children to be 10 or older but this is not mandatory if they are well-supervised and not in a destructive stage.
* No one outside your approved group is allowed on the property, except with advance permission from owner.
* No pets, no smoking, and no behavior that disturbs our neighbors, such as loud voices or music.

SETTING: The 2200 square foot home sits on two acres and 200' of Lake Superior coastline.

There is also ample buffer between the home and North Shore 61 with a service road and long driveway.

VIEW/LAKESHORE: The home features lots of windows with panoramic views of Lake Superior. Water’s edge is close with easy access. The ledgerock shoreline is perfect for campfires and enjoying the view.

The covered west side deck off the dining room and kitchen is where the Weber grill is located. There is also a large deck off the upstairs west bedroom.

Lovely Lutsen Getaway
Perfect getaway for 70+ good friends to relax overlooking Lake Superior. The cabin was very spacious inside and outside, plenty of places to enjoy the view. David did a great job of communicating, getting right back to us for any questions. I can definitely see coming back next year. Also, with everyone being dog lovers, we enjoyed the story of Ben. Thanks for sharing this Lovely Lutsen Getaway. Nancy A

Simply Amazing
This is the perfect location for your North Shore experience! Every morning started with a cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the sunrise on the lake. Each evening ended with a rustic campfire on the rocks - and even a dip in the lake. The days were filled with hiking, food, and fun! We'll be back next year!!

Beautiful, restful retreat
We enjoyed the spectacular views of Lake Superior in the quiet comfort of this wonderful home. The well-stocked kitchen allowed us to cook some fabulous meals. The location was perfect - quick access to hiking, skiing (if there had been snow), and the restaurants in nearby Grand Marais. We hope to stay in this fantastic home again!

LUTSEN LAKEHOUSE REVIEW
The house is beautiful and well maintained. The views are spectacular. The property is surrounded by forest and very private and quiet. The lighting was excellent with dimmers. Outside space was extensive and well furnished. And the firewood was dry and burned easily. We loved Lutsen Lakehouse.

Lutsen Lakehouse is Wonderful
This property is a gorgeous place to stay. Working with David was easy. Great kitchen set-up. Bedrooms and bathrooms worked great for our family of 5 with 3 college aged children. If you don’t enjoy sitting and looking at Lake Superior from the comfort of the indoors or nice sized deck, this is not the place for you. We could have spent our whole time reading and looking at the lake if it were not for the great hiking, golf at Superior National and visits up to the fun town of Grand Marais. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

We rented this beautiful home for the 4th of July week... Loved the space and the light... The kitchen was the best stocked VRBO that I have ever used. The waves and clouds on Lake Superior are stunning. Close to all the Water Fall State parks.... we hiked a different waterfall each day... Cascade was the closest. About 15 minutes from Grand Marais,... Have to have a meal at the Angry Trout,,
