The Light Lake House located in the North Woods

Snuggled on the shore of Caribou lake, this home is surrounded by water on two sides with over 500 ft. of lakeshore. The house combines stunning Scandinavian design with cozy touches to make you feel at home in the woods. The property features a detached sauna house, dock, canoe, kayak, deck, screen porch, and a long sweeping driveway. Located in Lutsen, MN- a short drive from the ski hill and 20 minutes from Grand Marais. The house has heated floors, vaulted ceilings, and sweeping window views from all sides.

This home has comfortable beds and three walk-in showers. It features natural stone, and North woods art from local artists, along with soaring hand-finished columns of cedar, fir, and pine that make the house feel like part of the forest. The floor to ceiling windows (over 75 in all) bring the outside in and showcase the natural beauty of the North Shore. We share the spot with a playful fox, a pair of loons, and other wonderful species of native wildlife. In the summer, the property is scattered with wildflowers and lupine as well as raspberries, blueberries, and thimble berries. We are located on a bend in the lake: paddle left to tour the quiet bay, cattails, and a beaver dam; right will take you out to the largest portions of Caribou lake. A perfect escape for a weekend away or a special occasion.

Lutsen has been our paradise our whole lives. We are so excited to share it with you!

Loved the light filled cottage !
Our family could not have found a more lovely, peaceful lake home to spend time together . From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the beautiful, clean, sunny spaces filled with so much attention to detail. We had everything we needed and more to cook our meals together, sauna daily , play games, enjoy the trees and lake views , canoe , swim, sauna and simply be together in our favorite Lutsen area of the Northshore. It was so convenient to our visit to Grand Marais, local winery and bike path for runs. The screen porch was a hit with our grandchild and each night we read books out there together . Cheryl & Ann were amazing with communication and so kind . We so appreciate them sharing their home with us. We will be back! David, Lee Anne & family

Lots of events took place this weekend while we stayed at the light lake house in Lutsen! My boyfriend and I got engaged, were able to celebrate as a family, share meals, plays games, etc! Come Saturday to go skiing, my fiancé ended up breaking his collarbone on a black diamond at Lutsen mountain. A trip for the books to say the least! We were happy with our stay at this property. It worked well for my family of eight plus four-legged friends. Highly recommend!

This property is STUNNING. I could have stayed a month! Cleanliness was *impeccable*, amenities were amazing, coziness was off the charts! I would go back any time of the year. Kitchen is exceptionally stocked and super fun to cook in with the island, fireplace is in the center of the room adding ambiance to the whole place. The house is suitable for two families with a small ktichenette in the lower level. We had a blast playing ping pong too! 10 out of 10 stars!

North shore gem
Loved the property! The house was beautiful and full of light! The sunsets were amazing. Fika coffee was about 5 minutes away on 61. Having a great coffee shop in the middle of wilderness is hitting the jackpot when you’re from Chicago!! many attractions are located a short distance from the property. Only negative, the docks were pulled (we visited week of oct 23, so understandable) so fishing was a bit challenging, but we were able to figure it out! We enjoyed our stay and will look forward to visiting again. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!!

Beautiful home and Amazing Hosts!
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. It was the perfect space four our girlfriend getaway providing space to be all together but also spread out throughout the house and on the lakefront property. The bedrooms give you a sense that you are almost sleeping in the forest because of the large windows. The bathrooms were also a major highlight with our group. Anne and Cheryl are amazing hosts providing information about the home and suggestions about what to do in the area. We would highly recommend this home.

Slice of Heaven
Lovely light filled home with tremendous views AND water access. Dad loved walking out to the dock countless times during the day to cast a line. We paddled and enjoy the scenery, had great access to SHT spur trail with amazing views and enjoyed so many wonderful activities right from the home base of this cabin. So much to do! The stars are bright and the cabin is fully equipped - sauna, bonfire pit and attention to detail to help keep furry friends happy too. Thank you fo the dog towels and outdoor bowls! I truly ant say enough great things about this wonderful space. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful and Peaceful House!
This light-filled cabin was even better than I could have imagined. It is GORGEOUS and has everything that you could possibly want in a property. Everything was sparkling clean. The beds were very comfortable. The woods and lake were peaceful and beautiful. It has table tennis, which kept everyone busy indoors, and a sauna for chilly days. There was great communication from the property manager, who made the entire process feel very easy. Bonus - there is a charger for your electric vehicle!
