Great times in Lutsen!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin where we enjoyed tons of space to eat, play and have fun with friends. The lake was so quiet on our midweek we could paddle board and play frisbee right on the water.

Clean

Great location, while still being remote. Lake is huge and the views are even better. 8 minutes to the ski hill, would prefer this over a ski in/ ski out. Very clean and homey vibes.

Beautiful cabin

This true log home was breathtakingly beautiful and fit our family of 4 adults and 2 kids perfectly. It was one of the cleanest rental homes I've been in and we so appreciated this. Beds were super comfy which made for a good night's sleep. Wi-Fi was great but cell service was a bit sketchy. Caribou Lake was gorgeous, I just wish I could have seen more of it from the house but most of the view is blocked by trees. Hosts were excellent and easy to get a hold of. I would definitely book this place again as it's so centrally located to so many activities and fun things to do. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful log cabin.

Wow, what a great find!

Beautiful place on a quiet, serene lake. We were there in late June and the road was lined with wildflowers. The lake was a bit chilly so we didn’t swim much, but enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking. The house was perfect for our group of 10, we had 3 families and each had their own bathroom and bedroom area. We loved the rustic design of this house with all of the natural wood, yet all of the modern convenience we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms, plus a washer/dryer. We greatly appreciated that dogs are allowed so that the furry family members could enjoy the vacation, as well. We loved our stay so much that we are already talking about coming back next year.

This place had plenty of room for our group of 10 adult1. It was so homey and beautiful! We loved the location and going snowshoeing on the lake! Definitely make sure to bring 4WD in the winter.

Location was perfect for winter fun. On a lake, close to snowmobile trails, and Lutsen Mountain is a few miles away. Very nice house with very comfortable beds, excellent kitchen, and plenty of space for everyone to relax. Highly recommended!

This is our second year staying at this cabin. It’s big, beautiful, comfortable, on a beautiful piece of property, close enough to everything you want to do but far enough away to be quiet. Absolutely recommend this place!

This place is amazing. It has open spaces, a fully stocked kitchen and a wood burning fireplace with a large supply of wood. It is spotless and organized. I was grateful for the pet policy. We stayed in the winter and the driveway is short and steep so 4 wheel drive is best. My son did need a several person push up the driveway after a little bit of snow. This a my favorite VRBO I’ve stayed in. I’d say book it!

Nice and close to Lutsen mountain! And there's a great little hiking trail to Caribou Lake overlook and Superior trail. The cabin is beautiful and well-provisioned. It's fully stocked in the kitchen and the bathrooms all have body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. The fireplace was great and warmed up the cabin well in frigid temps. All 10 of us had plenty of space to hang out as well. The owner was very responsive when the electronic lock didn't work upon arrival. Two items that would make it even better: 1) turn on the in-floor heat prior to our arrival (the house was 60 deg when we arrived and it takes quite a while to warm up) and 2) evaluate the water pressure- it was very inconsistent to the point that it comes out as a drizzle from a faucet.

Good experience - just wished we knew they were building a home next to our rental. Difficult being in the woods and the noise you hear is pounding all day long.
