Little Bear

This is a great place. It was very easy to find with the directions given and in a fantastic location. There's a lot of hiking within a 10 minute drive, and Grand Marais is only 20 minutes away. The cabin itself is very cozy and a great place to relax with an amazing view of the forest and lake. We'll definitely be staying here the next time we are in the area.

Superior spring trail race

My son was running a 50K and I couldn’t find accommodations at the lodge that the race was using for the event. We found this house and it turned out to be perfect. It was minutes away from the event and also we got to escape the crowds and has relaxing quiet time. The area was beautiful with plenty of food options, water falls and a gondola ride! If he ever runs this race again I will reach out to this property again. Had all you needed except a tv which I liked but my two grown sons would have liked to watch a movie—especially after running just under 32 miles😀 Everything was there that you would need as far as a kitchen even though we ate out. Beds were comfortable but I am glad it was just the three of us as it would have been too crowded to have all 6 of us. Highly recommend and I KNOW it must be beautiful in the fall!

Another great long weekend at the Lutsen Little Bear Lodge!

We love this place! It's secluded, surrounded by nature, and has everything we want and nothing we don't. We had great communication with Brennan, who reached out proactively to make sure our arrival was smooth. This year, we found great hikes at Oberg Mountain and Magnetic Rock. We'll come and stay again :)

Very nice combination of rustic and modern.

This is a comfortable clean property with nice extra amenities such as a bluetooth speaker system and cozy gas fireplace in the living area. The kitchen is fully functional. The view can't be beat. It's only a couple minutes from Lutsen Mountains. Overall, we were very satisfied.

Nice Family Getaway

Having the ski hill, woods, waterfall and hiking trails close to us was what we wanted, the location was perfect. We were happy to enjoy peace and privacy you can’t get at a resort and hope to return this year. Our host was responsive prior to our stay, the cabin is very nice and had everything we needed to prepare meals, the view was beautiful.

Family get away

This cabin is exactly what we were looking for and very similar to something we would want to own in the future! It's secluded yet very comfortable, very close to skiing and snowboarding, and there are trails to hike close by. The cabin is well maintained, clean and has beautiful character not to mention the views! We will be back again!!!

Really great cabin, everything mentioned in the listing. Great set up with the bedrooms and living area. Dogs loved hanging out in the yard and deck. Easy to find even being out on a gravel road. Was messaged right after checking in which was a nice touch.

Little Bear Captures Spirit of the North Shore

This is a repeat visit for us.The cabin is of unique design with extensive use of hand hewn wood throughout. The upper level deck off the main bedroom provides a treetop view of the lake and at night a stunning view of the stars. The location is excellent , especially if you appreciate the solitude of the surrounding forest, yet close to all the activities this area affords. Given the dramatic increase in cost of rentals since the pandemic Liitle Bear remains a great value for those whom wish to experience the many pleasures of this area. The owners are extremely attentive to every detail and exemplify the most desirable qualities of the good host.Highly recommend.
