We had a wonderful time on our recent family ski trip! The unit was absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our host was fantastic — friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already hoping to return again next year!

We stayed three nights here and every aspect of our stay was perfect. The response time to questions was extremely quick. The house was very clean and decorated nicely. I loved the layout of the house as well. The ski-in/ski-out was also perfect. We will be staying here again. We had so much fun!

Perfect Family Retreat

Our family does an annual trip to Lutsen for skiing and enjoying the beautiful north shore. We've stayed at multiple properties, and this one is by far the best! We plan to return!

Fantastic stay in Lutsen

Our group had an amazing weekend at this gorgeous townhome! The location can’t be beat, and the cabin itself is stocked with everything you might need for the weekend. Shayla was very responsive when we had any questions. We can’t wait to come back for another ski weekend!

Perfect for our family trip!

This property was great for our group of 15 - plenty of room to spread out and also enough to be able to hang out together in the large great room. Having the large vanity area in the basement made getting everyone ready for the day really easy. Access to the resort amenities was fantastic for the kids to be able to swim both indoors and outdoors. The location was perfect -it was just a short drive to anywhere we went. Shayla was very responsive and helpful when we needed to contact her. We are looking forward to coming back in the fall!

Perfect for group of 12 or less!!

This place was AMAZING! Perfect location for ski in and ski out. Beautiful. Plenty of space. Make sure to take the Raptor chair lift up when trying to come home from skiing for the day. That will get you to Moose access to the back side of the townhouse. Our group was 8 people. It could comfortably hold 4 more, even 6 more if some were couples. 1 minute drive up to the main lodge to have dinner. 8 minute drive to bluefin grille in Tofte (next town over). 25 minute drive the other direction to Grand Marias ( a super cute artsy/galleries/breweries right on the water) we ran out of time to do the Sauna hut rental in Grand Marias but might be worth checking out. Oh and there is a winery just 2 minutes from the townhouse that was super cute and had live music going on.
