Great place to enjoy a weekend of skiing. Many options to stay busy on and off the slopes. Pool and hot tub area was easy to access and nearby. Restaurant takeout was a quick walk away, too, on a night when we did not want to cook. Terrific and timely communication from the host.

Perfect location, really nice property. You can ski right out onto the trail that connects down to Moose Mountain (note that depending on skiers' experience/ability). Otherwise it's only a minute drive to the main base as well. You can walk to trails, a restaurant, and see the mountains from the condo. The owners were also accommodating and responsive. It's a great property, strongly recommend.

The lodging is ideally located for a true ski-in/ski-out experience. I last stayed in these units back in 2000, and while they have been well maintained, they are beginning to show their age.The kids really enjoyed the pool (not attached), and the adults appreciated the ability to prepare meals and take breaks as needed. The townhome is well equipped with pots, pans, a coffee maker, and other essentials.One area for improvement would be the kitchen lighting, which could be brighter. It also would have been nice to have access to the ski storage cabinet outside and the downstairs sauna, but unfortunately, both were unavailable during our stay.Overall, we had an enjoyable visit and would rent here again.

Weekend getaway!

We had a great weekend in Lutsen! The property was great for our family and had all the amenities we could need! We used the pool and hot tub, sauna and fitness center. The restaurant on site was great too with live music in the evenings as well. David was super easy to reach with questions and responded quickly to all of our questions!! Thanks for a great stay.

Girls Trip

The four of girls had a blast! We stopped at Black Sand Beach which was right on the way. During our stay we hiked at Cascade Falls, went to North Shore Winery, Grand Marias, and took the Gondola ride! We enjoyed playing the games that were at the VRBO and having our own sauna/spa night in. Thanks for the stay!

Great location!

Location is amazing 10/10. We explored Lutsen, Grand Marais, and Tofte. We enjoyed the amenities on the resort as well including indoor/outdoor pool, outdoor game area, and restaurant. We were welcomed to the place by the previous users dirty dishes in the dishwasher. We would recommend a few updates to freshen up the place including new toilets (bowls are very stained), fresh bedding, fresh paint job. Overall was a great experience and the owners were easy to work with! We will be back Up North!

The host was very responsive. I was disappointed to arrive at 10 pm and have a full dishwasher of dishes to put away. Also, the condo is in need of some TLC. There is a black spot on the ceiling (looks like black mold from the upstairs bathroom) and 2 of the 3 toilets were very stained. There were no hot pads to use while cooking and no dish sponge/rag to do dishes. The space suited our family just fine, but for the area and the price, we had higher expectations.
Spot beneath upstairs bathroom.
2 toilets were very stained.

Good ski lodge

Was a good stay. My boys were able to ski right from the lodge. I work in the vacation rental industry, and see a lot of units. Photos are exactly how the unit looked and felt. Our boys had the basement to themselves, and all were comfortable.
