"North Shore Retreat" Lutsen 5 Bed/4 Bath, Sleeps 14, Ski in - Ski out

Our house has the most 5 star reviews in Lutsen! We are one of the few on the mountain that offers a 5th Bedroom, which enables our house to sleep 14 people, ideal for large groups!

We are excited to share in 2021 we installed new matching appliances (stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, and oven).

Please note that our nightly rate listed on vrbo/airbnb varies greatly throughout the year and follows other comparable properties/other resorts. The properties/resorts have many different rates depending on the season, weekend vs weekday rates, holiday rates and length of stay discounts.

Because of this large range of rates, please understand that we may be sending you an updated quote with the accurate pricing for the dates and number of nights of your reservation request.

Applicable taxes and fees will be added to room rates.
Please inquire for details on specials running throughout the year.

Now boasting over 225 5 star reviews, the most for comparable properties on the North Shore!

Our North Shore Retreat located on the Poplar Ridge of Lutsen Resort, located on Lutsen Resort just 4 hours from the Twin Cities, sits at the base of Moose Mountain, in Minnesota's largest ski in - ski out luxury resort. Our home is not just a winter wonderland of skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and any other winter activity you can imagine. Fall brings a blaze of color up the mountain, and all along the north shore.

Come in the spring and summer to enjoy miles of biking, and hiking trails, or the 27 hole Superior National Golf Course, just next door, offers spectacular views of Lake Superior. You may want to fish inland lakes, or charter a boat for fishing Lake Superior. And of course, hunt for agates along the shores of 'The Big Lake'. Not to be forgotten is the famous Alpine Slide, and Superior Hiking Trail, just a walk up the road.

At any season, a ride to the top of Moose Mountain via the Gondola to have lunch, and view Lake Superior and the surrounding forest is a must see! Guests enjoy all the resort amenities, such as indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, and restaurant & lounge.

The area offers many unique shops, art galleries, antique dealers, and restaurants from fine dining to the casual family style pizza pallor. Or spend the day at one of the several State Parks, hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, or strolling the shore's of Lake Superior.

Our home can accommodate up to 14 people maximum, with locking ski lockers outside the front door.

The main floor boasts a two story stone wood burning fireplace, full kitchen, balcony w/patio furniture and gas grill and great view of Moose Mountain and Gondola. The main floor also has a master suite bedroom that sleeps two. It has a whirlpool tub, it's own bathroom, a queen size bed, small deck, small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker with filters, and dinnerware.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen bed, and a private bath w/shower. The second upstairs bedroom has 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds and a full bathroom out in the hallway.

The Two Bedroom lower level sleeps up to six. It has two bedrooms each with queen beds, a queen size pull out couch, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker with filters, and dinnerware.

50th anniversary trip
The space was perfect for our family. We knew ahead of time that the WiFi was not great, but the coming upgrades will help as it was really hard to get a signal. All the adults felt that an upgrade to the pillows would be a good change.
