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.

Beautiful, spacious condo with plenty of blankets, towels, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and our family of 13 had a wonderful time. The lodge is close by and you have access to the indoor pool and hot tub as well as the outdoor pool. Jereme was always quick to respond to any questions we had before our stay. He even provided tips and suggestions for things to do while in the area. We would definitely stay there again, it’s one of the best places we’ve ever rented!

We had a great stay, and our young adult kids/friends said it was one of their favorite experiences ever. That's a huge compliment! The place was the perfect size for our large group. The ease of checking in/out was great. The communication was excellent. There were plenty of dishes, etc. The coffee maker and the dishwasher could use an upgrade. This was one of the coldest weekends we had, but that did not stop our group from taking full advantage of the skiing at Lutsen. We were also lucky enough to witness an excellent meteor shower through the large picture window in the living room which was a really cool experience. Thank-you for such a great stay! Our kids hope we treat them to this every year.
