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.

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!

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Lutsen Lakehouse. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves lapping the shoreline, waking to dynamic sunrises, and of course all of the joy of being at the waterfront. The house was amazing and held everything we needed for a weeklong stay.
