Very clean and well-appointed unit with lovely lake views. Linda was great to work with. Only suggestion we'd make is put a king-sized bed in the master bedroom.

Great stay at a great location!

We stayed here over Christmas break 2022. We have a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for us. Clean, comfortable stay, and there are numerous activities very close. We enjoyed relaxing at the condo, sightseeing, snowshoeing, skiing at Lutsen, snowmobiling, and shopping at Grand Marais. Great vacation!

Another beautiful view of Lake Superior

We love this area and this location did not disappoint…the private beach was so fun for the girls. Having the alpine slide at Lutsen just down the road was also super convenient. We liked the townhome but a few things could be a little better. Beds were small but big deal in the grand scheme of things. We had a lovely time!

Great condo, super clean and updated

Great view of the lake from the master bedroom. The family room is on the lowest level of the three. That’s also where there is a pull out sofa. Kitchen and small balcony is on the main level. Very comfortable for a family of four. The lakeshore is accessible down the bank, and the rocks are not too challenging to navigate. Would stay here again!

Small but nice

The master bedroom was awesome and had a beautiful view of the lake. However, the other two sleeping "rooms" were not very private. The open stairway from top to bottom carried sound, so our 1 year-old son kept waking up my dad sleeping in the basement. Lovely area. Great location. Nice amenities. Just make note of the photos and how friendly you must be with your housemates!

The property was very clean (cleaner than most rentals we have had over the years) and the kitchen was well appointed. The view from the bedroom was lovely. The property is reasonably priced and I felt it was a good value for what we got. The beach area was great, especially for adults or kids who love to rock hunt as it is a rock beach. I purchased a lake superior rock book in Grand Marias and my daughter had a great time identifying rocks. I love getting my steps in so I did not mind all of the stairs to get down to it, but that may be difficult for small children or older folks. It was enough space for our family of four but the basement pullout bed our son slept in could use an upgrade. The loft bed was very nice. Noise through the wall from the adjoining unit was a bit bothersome at times, but that comes with a condo or townhouse stay. A second TV in the bedroom would be a good addition for rainy days when you are stuck in the house all day, we had a few of those. There were four of us and we were provided with exactly four bath towels, having had a couple more would have been nice as a woman with long hair to have another towel to wrap my hair with after showering. The bedroom pillows were exceedingly thick/firm which hurt my neck to sleep on but I usually sleep on a flat pillow. All and all it was a nice stay and whomever they use to turnover the unit is doing a wonderful job it really was spotless which I greatly appreciate in a rental.

This place looked great online, but when we arrived, it exceeded expectations. It is so cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed, great view, great location. We thought we left something behind and heard back very promptly from Nikki. Would definitely return!

Cute Condo

We loved the condo and felt the description adequately represented the unit. The host was communicative and entry was seamless. The main bed was comfortable and had nice bedding. We wished it was a King, but the Queen was fine. The unit was well equipped and included enough laundry soap, paper towerls, and tp - which is unexpected and nice. There was also a few spices, coffee filters, and coffee. As others have said, the bedrooms, kitchen, and livingroom are on different levels so I would not recommend if steps are a challenge. There are also 95 steps down to beach area but it is well worth the effort as the beach is private and gorgeous. The unit is 3 miles from Tofte and there are some restaurants and a grocery store there. It is also right on the bike trail. Overall, we loved the unit and would definitely return.

Lutsen 99r

I stayed here while doing the Lutsen 99r mountain bike race. It's in a perfect location. The condo is beautiful, with an awesome view of Lake Superior. I could have stayed there for weeks, but I only stayed for two days. Will definitely stay again.
