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!

HISTORY and DECOR: The home was built in 1994 and we purchased it as our family cabin in 1999. It is available year-round to respectful guests seeking a quiet North Shore vacation. You will find pictures, poems, and other items around the house that represent our family and Christian faith.

SETTING: The 2200 square foot home sits on two acres and faces south over 200' of Lake Superior coastline. There is no home on the neighboring property to the west and plenty of distance and trees from our neighbors to the east. There is also ample buffer between the home and North Shore 61 with a service road and long driveway.

VIEW/LAKESHORE: The home features lots of windows with panoramic views of Lake Superior. Water’s edge is close with easy access. The ledgerock shoreline is perfect for campfires and enjoying the view.

DECKS: A deck extends along the lakeside (south side) and the west side of the house, with gliders, deck chairs, and a large table for relaxing and taking in the view. The covered west side deck off the dining room and kitchen is where the Weber grill is located. There is also a large deck off the upstairs west bedroom.

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!

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.

LUTSEN LAKEHOUSE REVIEW
The house is beautiful and well maintained. The views are spectacular. The property is surrounded by forest and very private and quiet. The lighting was excellent with dimmers. Outside space was extensive and well furnished. And the firewood was dry and burned easily. We loved Lutsen Lakehouse.

Second time staying at this property
This is our second time staying at this property. It was incredible again. Clean, comfortable and overall wonderful. All the windows are awesome. You can be inside and fully enjoy the lake. Did fires by the lake and inside, played lots of games and enjoyed all that Lake Superior offers. Never gets old. Highly recommend this property!

Lake Superior home
We rented this beautiful home for the 4th of July week... Loved the space and the light... The kitchen was the best stocked VRBO that I have ever used. The waves and clouds on Lake Superior are stunning. Close to all the Water Fall State parks.... we hiked a different waterfall each day... Cascade was the closest. About 15 minutes from Grand Marais,... Have to have a meal at the Angry Trout,,

Lutsen Lakehouse is Wonderful
This property is a gorgeous place to stay. Working with David was easy. Great kitchen set-up. Bedrooms and bathrooms worked great for our family of 5 with 3 college aged children. If you don’t enjoy sitting and looking at Lake Superior from the comfort of the indoors or nice sized deck, this is not the place for you. We could have spent our whole time reading and looking at the lake if it were not for the great hiking, golf at Superior National and visits up to the fun town of Grand Marais. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Blessed.
We had a very relaxing, blessed time in this beautiful cabin. The view, fire in the fireplace, wonderful gathering space and beautiful view of the lake all made for a memorable experience. The beautiful weather allowed us to sit on the rocks along the shore. And, to our surprise we were able to witness 4 deer swim in to shore, from a mile out! It was quite an amazing thing to see!! Not sure where they came from.... We look forward to staying here again next year!!!

Beautiful!
The view and the home were just beautiful! LOVED the big indoor fireplace. LOVED the ability to just be down on the rocks by yourself and just your family. LOVED the big round table that our family could gather around for meals and games. David was very responsive and helpful. Only heads up would be when thinking of booking, the price shown is for two people. It does say extra person fee is $35, but I was thinking that would be the 7th person to discourage parties larger than what the house sleeps. That was a learning curve for us, I guess! We had a great time at this beautiful home.
