Basecamp for Your North Shore/Lutsen Adventures

Newly remodeled home at the base of Ski Hill Road in Lutsen. This home is made-to-order for people interested in the outdoor activities of the North Shore, just minutes to the Gitchi-Gami bike trail, snowmobile trail, Superior National Golf Course, Lutsen Ski Resort, cross-country skiing trails, mountain bike trails and the Superior Hiking Trail. That is why we call it Ski Hill Basecamp!

After your days of adventure, your family and friends can relax at this beautiful property, with spaces to gather together and room to spread out. The kitchen, BBQ grill, and dining area are perfect for eating in. In the summer months, the porch, dining deck, large yard and fire pit will keep the fun going. In the winter, enjoy the winter fire pit (weather permitting) or cuddle up on the deep, comfy couch for a fire and movie. The layout is 2 bedrooms (both with king beds) and 2 bathrooms on the main level, and 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the upper level.

While the immediate area is literally fulI of fun things to do (did we mention a gondola, alpine slide, and winery?), we are only 5 minutes to Oberg Loop, 15 minutes to both Temperance River and Cascade River State Parks, and 20 minutes to Grand Marais.

Please note that this home is located on Ski Hill Road close to Hiway 61. This provides unbeatable access to area destinations but does mean it is a less peaceful location. For security, the property has 1 exterior camera on the driveway and front door. We will gladly disarm the camera during your stay upon request.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

New years ski trip

Went up with some friends and family and had a blast. Close to the ski hill and beautiful place to come back to and have a dinner all together. Everyone had a room and plenty of bathrooms so we weren’t stepping over each other. Was a great place to stay for a ski trip

Gorgeous house, perfect stay

We had a great time staying at this property. The place is beautiful! It was a great location. Very clean and super thoughtfully stocked. I have never rented a house with a kitchen as well stocked with cookware and supplies as this one. We had everything we needed to prepare meals. We would definitely want to return!

Wonderful property you won’t want to leave!

My race crew and I used this property as our base camp during the Superior 100 Endurance run on the Superior Hiking Trail. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Location is great, has all the amenities you need, and Shadee is a great host! Highly recommend this property for any North Shore adventure, big or small!
