Such a beautiful, relaxing and homey environment to stay with my family. They even had accommodations for my dog which to me, is going above and beyond to make even the furry family members feel welcomed. Great with communication and they think ahead, to provide everything you may need! We will 1,000 percent return when making our way to the Lutsen area again.

Lovely Stay on Lake Superior

This property was perfect for our family of four. The house is roomy, bright and spotlessly clean. The views are stunning, and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owner was very responsive and everything about our visit was easy and smooth. We hope to return and highly recommend to others!

Amazing stay

My husband and I stayed here for two nights with our two children, 6 and 8 years old, and our dog. The rental was very clean and the view was amazing! The stairs to the beach are a short walk away and the kids loved looking for rocks. I cant think of anything I would change or add. I would definitely stay here again.

A great place to stay on the North Shore of Minnesota.

This is high quality condominium space with an excellent view of Lake Superior. The space has all the amenities that you need for an enjoyable vacation. It is a few miles away from the beautiful town of Lutsen and the Superior National Golf Course.

Beautiful North Shore Stay

We loved the location right on Lake Superior and the great space! It was beautiful and comfortable for 8 adults and a dog. We loved walking down the hill to the rocks on the shore or to the beach. It was also near so many other great hiking options. We'll be back!

Perfect location for Family with Pets

We stayed there two nights during the summer and it was everything that we needed with young kids and a dog. The location is amazing and has everything that family needs (including washer and drier!). Waking up and falling asleep with amazing view of Lake Superior is a cherry on top. It is super close to Lutsen and Grand Marais if you want to explore further north of the Great North.

From start to finish, the host's communication was outstanding, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. The home was incredibly well organized and immaculately clean. Waking up to the sunrise over Lake Superior was a great way to start our day. The view is breath taking. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a hassle-free and comfortable vacation rental experience. I look forward to booking with this host again in the future.

Fabulous fall stay

The condo was clean, modern and had all the amenities we needed and wanted. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for pots, pans, utensils and a few food items such as coffee, filters, salt, pepper, sugar and cooking oil. The king size bed was comfortable and it was wonderful to wake up, lay in bed and watch the sunrise each morning. I appreciate having both a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a tower fan to stay cool at night. Thank you for including plenty of toilet paper, towels and wash cloths and including pods for doing laundry. We enjoyed relaxing at the condo, cooking all our meals there and enjoying the views of the lake morning, noon and night. We will definitely be back!

So much room! Very clean, amazing view

This unit was actually larger than the photos made it seem! Lots of places to gather as a group of 5 adults, or to retreat to a quiet corner to read. The 2 bedrooms also have writing desks, paper & pens, and many outlets for charging - such a nice amenity if you have to sit at your laptop during vacation! Kitchen is well-stocked and there were lots of extra towels, body wash, shampoo and TP in the bathrooms. The balcony is very tiny, but there are benches all over the property to sit and gaze at the lake. Our dog adored sitting on the balcony; it was enclosed with glass which is nice if you have young ones or canines along. We were impressed with how clean the unit was when we arrived, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. They labeled the light switches and ceiling fans - that's worth 5 stars right there! Great place; don't hesitate to reserve. We hope to rent again next year!
