About this property

Beautiful Cabin on Lake Superior in Lutsen, Minnesota

"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! On behalf of our family, we look forward to being in touch with you.

This a favorite North Shore stay. The house is big and comfortable for a group. Amazing views - the lake is close to the house. And the kitchen is very well equipped- easy for cooking all our meals.

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!

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
Dad and Mom started our family's love affair with the North Shore when they took their honeymoon up to Lake Superior and the Gunflint Trail way back in 1954.

In the 1990's, we started taking regular trips up the North Shore, staying in various rental homes from Lutsen to Grand Marais. And then in 1999, we finally found a beautiful cabin on Lake Superior to call our own just down the road from Lutsen. We call it Lutsen Lakehouse. The cabin has been and continues to be a special home away from home for us.

Dad and Mom have four children and seven grandchildren ... sixteen in all in the family. All of us love to head up to the cabin (usually not at the same time!) to hike and ski and take canoe trips into the Boundary Waters. Most of all though, we love sitting by a roaring fire and watching the many moods of Lake Superior.

We enjoy sharing Lutsen Lakehouse with others who appreciate and respect the home and the North Shore as we do. We have many fond memories from our times there and hope you can visit and make some too!

P.S. Be sure to take a look at our other property on VRBO—Stone House Farm in Jordan, MN (VRBO # 1908932). The unique farmhouse and 115 private acres provide a special rural getaway that is close to the Twin Cities.
