this was the perfect house/set up for our family. Everyone had their own room and enough bathrooms everyone was able to get ready. Beautiful scenery. We had a lot of fun, plenty of room around the large kitchen table for all of us.
Beautiful, spacious condo with plenty of blankets, towels, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and our family of 13 had a wonderful time. The lodge is close by and you have access to the indoor pool and hot tub as well as the outdoor pool. Jereme was always quick to respond to any questions we had before our stay. He even provided tips and suggestions for things to do while in the area. We would definitely stay there again, it’s one of the best places we’ve ever rented!
We had a great stay, and our young adult kids/friends said it was one of their favorite experiences ever. That's a huge compliment! The place was the perfect size for our large group. The ease of checking in/out was great. The communication was excellent. There were plenty of dishes, etc. The coffee maker and the dishwasher could use an upgrade. This was one of the coldest weekends we had, but that did not stop our group from taking full advantage of the skiing at Lutsen. We were also lucky enough to witness an excellent meteor shower through the large picture window in the living room which was a really cool experience. Thank-you for such a great stay! Our kids hope we treat them to this every year.
Clean, spacious, plenty of necessities, and great facilities

Thanks Kyle, it is appreciated! I think this makes like 5 -6 years in a row now for you staying with us. As always, we look forward to working with you next year!
This place was AMAZING! They had everything you needed from tons of blankets to a kitchen stocked with all the dinnerware you could need. Check in and check out process was seamless. Thanks for having us!
This was our second stay at this cozy townhome. It is perfect for sleeping our 3 generations, everyone has their own space and the gathering area keeps us connected for eating and playing games etc. Being able to ski in/out is a huge plus. We have loved our time at Lutsen and will most likely be back again!
Our stay was awesome. Just as pictured. Communications with the property owner were excellent. You will not regret staying here. We will be booking this place again!!

About the host
Hosted by Jereme & Sara VonBargen
Jereme and Sara met as freshman while attending St. Cloud State University where we later graduated from. Jereme is a Veteran of the Marine Corps and grew up in South Minneapolis. Sara is a native of St. Cloud Minnesota. We currently live in Cottage Grove MN with our 2 daughters Callie (11) and Lilly (14).
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the North Shore together for about 15 years and have been looking for a place to buy for about the last 10 years. Our daughters have come to know and love the North Shore too, so when we stumbled across this place, we had to make our dream happen! We love the sounds of the trees & the Poplar River rushing behind the house, the view of Moose Mountain, the ski in / ski out capability, and the close proximity to Lutsen's amenities. We love hiking Cascade & Temperance State Parks, everything about Grand Marais, and playing on the rocks at Cutface Creek. We look forward to many more years on the North Shore, and hope that our guests enjoy it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
5 bedrooms, 7 beds, 4 bathrooms, and the capability to sleep up to 14 in beds. There are only a few houses on the mountain that can boast this capability. It has ski in / ski out capability, and the close proximity to Lutsen's amenities (hot tub, pool, workout area, and restaurants). Just a few miles Cascade & Temperance State Parks, and 20 miles from Grand Marais.
