Family weekend
This home was perfect for our multiple family get together. The floor layout worked so well, each family had thier own space/floor and bathroom. The firewood stove (with wood already stacked and available) and record player made it so cozy during the rainy weather. The hosts have detailed instructions for quirks and rules of the house along with local emergency numbers and fun places to visit, which is so helpful and appreciated. The hosts were also quick to respond with any additional questions. You can tell they put a lot of time and care into this rental space. I would rate this cabin 10/10. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. been happier with our stay.

Relaxing home away from home.
We all needed a vacation, and utilized the relaxing cabin as needed. We made breakfast and dinner in the kitchen on some days and went out to close by locations on others. Best year up north so far!

property was nice, it was hot when we came up so we missed our air. Totally understand that hot days are very few up North. Very accommodating for our grown family.

Wonderful!
This property was perfect for a family getaway! Plenty of space to enjoy time together or find a quiet place to relax alone. Lots of thoughtful touches that made the place feel like home. Easy to find and close to numerous north shore attractions, but secluded and serene. 1000% recommend!

Beautiful and Spacious Vacation Home
Our extended family of 9 people stayed at this vacation home and it exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was modern and well-appointed with everything we could possibly need to enjoy meals together. The kitchen/dining room/great room is very open concept with large windows overlooking the woods. It is very private with no views of any neighboring homes but also close to amenities and activities in the Lutsen area. There were three separate lounging areas with plenty of room for watching movies, reading, and playing games. The home is stocked with both adult and children games and books for down time. The linens were high quality and the home was in pristine condition. The outdoor spaces were also amazing. There is a fire pit in the back yard and a huge wrap around deck with plenty of seating to enjoy coffee and conversation. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend this beautiful home and can’t wait to go again!
