About this property

LUTSEN LAKEHOUSE on LAKE SUPERIOR

  • Welcome and thank you for visiting the LUTSEN LAKEHOUSE listing page! My name is David, and along with my wife Brodie, we are the owners and hosts of this special property. For over 15 years we have had the joy of sharing Lutsen Lakehouse with guests from across the country and hearing how much they love the cabin and were mesmerized by the panoramic view and many moods of Lake Superior.

    As you watch Lake Superior's thundering waves crash against the ledgerock shoreline, northern lights dance across the sky, and the sun or moon rise over the big lake they call Gitchigummi, you may be reminded of the Psalmist’s words, "The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth shows His handiwork.”

    Inside, you will appreciate the comforts of a beautiful, professionally-cleaned, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home. Unwind by a crackling fire in the massive wood-burning fieldstone fireplace, enjoy a meal from the fully-equipped 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.

    OUR PROMISE

    You and your family/group deserve and can expect an excellent stay at Lutsen Lakehouse, from accurate representation of the property, pricing, and policies to a home cleaned to the highest standards by our long-time caretaker to prompt communication and attention to any needs that arise.

    Our aim is that you have a wonderful experience, bringing home many happy memories and dreaming of coming back!

    You are encouraged to read on for more details about the property. And of course the “photos are worth a thousand words.” We look forward to answering any questions and being your host at Lutsen Lakehouse on Lake Superior!

We loved this property! Me and two of my friends went up to the area for a 3 night stay over Memorial weekend. The place was very clean, well stocked and had everything we needed. I stayed in the master bedroom, very comfortable. My friends each had their own room upstairs. It was in a great location, close to Oberg Mountain and Cascade River Park. Beautiful views of the lake from the living room and master bedroom. I will definitely be booking here again!

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!

Winter getaway

We had a great winter weekend at the cabin! The cabin was warmed up for us when we got there on a cold night, and was cozy and beautiful throughout our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cookware we needed, and the fireplace was easy to use and perfect to relax by while listening to the lake. Very convenient location to lots of great cross country skiing.

Amazing time on Lake Superior

We had an amazing time staying on Lake superior with our family. The house comfortably fit all six of us. The house is clean with all the amenities listed. The best part was the Internet was very fast so my husband was able to work and be along with us on our stay. I highly recommend this home.
