About this property

Lovely Home-Views of Lake Superior-3 miles to Ski Hill-on Bike Path-Adults Only

Due to this Home being on a 40 foot cliff this is an adults only, no pet property.

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 view of Lake Superior and right on the Gitchi-Gami bike trail. Local folks call it 'the glass house' due to the large windows offering 180 degree views of Lake Superior.

Only 3 miles to Lutsen Mountains Ski Hill. Close enough to skiing 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 an amazing view of the water, are framed with window seating. Under the window seats are many books sure to interest every reader, plus stereo and many dvds, puzzles & games for your whole group to play. The bedrooms, which are separated by the Great Room, have queen beds and private full bathrooms. The master bath has a whirlpool, over-sized, deep-soaking bathtub that overlooks the lake. The Great Room can accommodate 2 guests on a gel foam mattress sofa bed.

We have recently added portable air conditioning in the great room for the rare moments the North Shore is affected by global warming.

There are two patio areas, one with a fire pit. There is also a gas grill.

This home is amazing. The 180 degree views of Lake Superior has a million dollar view- beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We have visited our 3rd time now and love how relaxing the home is for reading, drawing, writing, game playing and puzzle making for our family with grandparents. We also love close proximity to great waterfall hikes, bike rides, and a short drive to Grand Marais.

Wonderful place! Clean, gorgeous view, and great location. I would hesitate staying there if it was a hot week in the summer. Because of the architecture, the living room gets really hot! We were lucky with mild weather and it still got up to 90 degrees!

Short but Sweet

This was just a two night stay, but very hot weather, forest fire smoke, rain and fog did their best to spoil the marvelous view and challenge the home’s cooling system.

This property is out dated , the pictures of view need updated . The trees are grow up on bluff blocking view of lake from fire pit area. House is musty with no ac or ceiling fans , a dehumidifier would be nice .

Stunning lake view

We have friends visiting from the UK for the first time, and we wanted to give them the full MN experience. The North Shore and this beautiful home did not disappoint. Amazing views of the lake, spotlessly clean, and lots of thoughtful details made this a superb home base. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary architectural gem! We look forward to returning soon.

Annual SHT Hiking Trip

Every year we come up to the North Shore with another couple with the goal of hiking as much as the SHT in sections as we can. We stay at various VRBO properties. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Horizon Home. Beautiful property, and good communication with the hosts. We will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Kittie Frantz

Host profile image
This property was built by Mary Ruth Barton in 1989 and held by the Barton family partnership until 2015 when Mary Ruth's daughter, Kittie, through her Kittie Frantz Trust, purchased it from her siblings in a private sale. She knows you'll love to spend time there as much as she and her family does.

Why they chose this property

If you're looking for a serene atmosphere to relax that is not a cabin, this property will fill your senses with beauty. This is a modern one story home that is not a condo so you are fairly secluded by the trees around it and Lake Superior in front of it.
