Great location!
Location was great and nice to have a restaurant to walk to on the property. The condo was cozy and had a nice layout. It was a little dated and the upstairs bathroom shower was clogged so we had to use the downstairs shower. We did report this and maintenance was to be notified but we never heard anything back again from maintenance before we left the property. Otherwise everything was fine and we enjoyed our stay!

Location, Location, Location!
We were excited to find this property in our desired location, perfect for our family of 6 and grandma, with great reviews. We arrived at 4:30pm after a long travel day and appreciated the easy check-in process. However, we quickly noticed signs of wear and tear, which wasn’t surprising for a short-term rental, despite the listing stating it was new. During unpacking, we found cleanliness issues: black mold on the shower curtain liner, dirty toilet bowls, and dog fur throughout the unit. We removed the moldy liner and tried to overlook the other issues as it was late. The next day, after enjoying activities on the North Shore, we returned to the unit. At this time we found the upstairs toilet would leak significantly when flushed. We stopped using this toilet for the rest of the stay after checking for more leaks. We also experienced the water pressure drop nearly to no flow, especially on the upper levels. We reported these concerns to the owners after putting the kids to bed. They thanked us for the feedback and assured us the cleaning crew would address these issues for future guests. We checked out the next morning. Despite these issues, the property’s location is fantastic and has great potential. With improved cleaning and maintenance, it could be an excellent place to stay.

Good ski lodge
Was a good stay. My boys were able to ski right from the lodge. I work in the vacation rental industry, and see a lot of units. Photos are exactly how the unit looked and felt. Our boys had the basement to themselves, and all were comfortable.

No complaints. The unit is as-advertised. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook meals as well as warm up with a fire and in the sauna after a day in the cold. We would book it again.

Girls Trip
The four of girls had a blast! We stopped at Black Sand Beach which was right on the way. During our stay we hiked at Cascade Falls, went to North Shore Winery, Grand Marias, and took the Gondola ride! We enjoyed playing the games that were at the VRBO and having our own sauna/spa night in. Thanks for the stay!

Stayed at this beautiful spot for a golf trip. The property is as described. In a great location and close to amenities. There was plenty of room for four guys to hang and the unit is well stocked. Kristin and David were great to work with and the check in process was easy and efficient. Thanks again!

Beautiful location
Beautiful location but unfortunately the process of checking in was extremely annoying. Checkin was at 4:00pm, we did not have access until 7:00pm. Three hours is a very long time with three kids who have been in the car for a long time. The condo was small and the the toilets didn’t flush, the water pressure in the shower was nonexistent, the furniture was poor and the beds were uncomfortable. Additionally, we couldn’t lock the door when leaving. For the price point the condo was not up to par and when combined with the communication from the owner it was an unpleasant experience. For this price we will not be staying here again.

Weekend getaway!
We had a great weekend in Lutsen! The property was great for our family and had all the amenities we could need! We used the pool and hot tub, sauna and fitness center. The restaurant on site was great too with live music in the evenings as well. David was super easy to reach with questions and responded quickly to all of our questions!! Thanks for a great stay.
