Location: Lutsen, Northeast, Minnesota, USA (90 miles Northeast of Duluth, 18 miles from Grand Marais)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-4)
Keywords: Retreat, Lake View
This home is a rare find. From the moment you enter, your senses are overwhelmed by the natural beauty all around you. This retreat is situated on a 40 foot cliff overlooking Lake Superior. Local folks call it "the glass house" due to the 180 degree views of Lake Superior.
Close enough to the Lutsen Ski Resort to enjoy all the amenities yet far enough to be away from all the crowds for some quiet time. The exterior walls are 65% windows with views of the lake and woods. A 10 by 15 foot skylight washes the main room with light. The total effect is that you are inside but feel at one with nature.
In the Great Room is a full kitchen, two dining areas, a gas fireplace, and a wonderful couch area under the skylight. The windows, with a beautiful view of the water, are framed with window seating. Under the window seats are many books sure to interest every reader, plus many games for the whole family to play. The bedrooms, which are separated by the Great Room, have queen beds and private full bathrooms. The master bath has a steam shower plus a whirlpool, over-sized, deep-soaking bathtub that overlooks the lake.

We had a wonderful stay here last Thanksgiving with our adult "kids"!!! The home is warm and beautiful, secluded for privacy. Took a nice walk up the road...enjoyed the sun on the lake. There aren't enough words to say how much we enjoyed it! Looking forward to another stay soon!!

Horizon House is a beautiful space for quiet contemplation, creativity, cooking, and entertaining. Pictures don't do it justice. The house is perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Superior, with sweeping vistas from the south-facing wall of windows. A huge skylight in the great room brings in a lot of natural light, but it does get rather warm during the day as there is no central air conditioning and no way to shade the skylight. The house is located just off Hwy 61, so we were little concerned about traffic noise, but we were happy to find that it was quiet and peaceful during our entire visit. We would definitely return to Horizon House.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, age 55+.
