LUTSEN LAKEHOUSE on LAKE SUPERIOR
Welcome and thank you for visiting the LUTSEN LAKEHOUSE listing page! My name is David, and along with my wife Brodie, we are the owners and hosts of this special property. For over 15 years we have had the joy of sharing Lutsen Lakehouse with guests from across the country and hearing how much they love the cabin and were mesmerized by the panoramic view and many moods of Lake Superior.
As you watch Lake Superior's thundering waves crash against the ledgerock shoreline, northern lights dance across the sky, and the sun or moon rise over the big lake they call Gitchigummi, you may be reminded of the Psalmist’s words, "The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth shows His handiwork.”
Inside, you will appreciate the comforts of a beautiful, professionally-cleaned, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home. Unwind by a crackling fire in the massive wood-burning fieldstone fireplace, enjoy a meal from the fully-equipped kitchen and family times around the handcrafted dining room table, and then let the sound of Lake Superior’s waves lull you to sleep.
Enjoy all this and be just a few minutes from Lutsen Ski Resort, Superior Hiking Trail, Superior National Golf Course, North Shore cross-country ski trails, and a short drive to Grand Marais and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Had a great stay at the Lutsen Lakehouse. Beautiful views, very well appointed for a family stay and convenient to the ski hill. Responsive owner that was genuinely interested in our comfort. Highly recommend for a trip to the area.
This was our second stay at the Lutsen Lakehouse, and it was just as perfect as the first — clean, cozy, and surrounded by gorgeous views. Our family loved the peaceful setting and can’t wait to come back!
We have stayed on the North Shore over the new year holiday for nearly 20 years. It is the family’s unanimous vote that this is the best place we have stayed. The perfect spot.
This a favorite North Shore stay. The house is big and comfortable for a group. Amazing views - the lake is close to the house. And the kitchen is very well equipped- easy for cooking all our meals.
We had a great winter weekend at the cabin! The cabin was warmed up for us when we got there on a cold night, and was cozy and beautiful throughout our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cookware we needed, and the fireplace was easy to use and perfect to relax by while listening to the lake. Very convenient location to lots of great cross country skiing.
Our family of five had a fantastic stay at the Lutsen Lakehouse. The property was immaculate, with a breathtaking view that made our experience unforgettable. David was an excellent communicator, making everything run smoothly. Thank you for providing such a wonderful getaway!
Our stay was perfect. The house has a million dollar view. The house was extremely comfortable and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. David was very helpful and responsive. We will definitely come back again.
The location was wonderful, and the views from every part of the house were amazing. The house was very comfortable and clean - lots of outdoor space options to enjoy. The property owner was great to work with - a great experience overall!
We loved the Lutsen Lakehouse! The views are spectacular and the cabin was cozy, clean, and organized. The owners did a great job providing clear communication and checking in to be sure all was working effectively. The place exceeded our expectations. We’d love to go back!
We enjoyed the spectacular views of Lake Superior in the quiet comfort of this wonderful home. The well-stocked kitchen allowed us to cook some fabulous meals. The location was perfect - quick access to hiking, skiing (if there had been snow), and the restaurants in nearby Grand Marais. We hope to stay in this fantastic home again!
A truly beautiful space built for mature families. David is very easy to communicate with for any concerns. Thank you for sharing this cabin during our family ski trip to Lutsen.
This cabin is beautiful , very clean and specious .The owner is very understanding and nice person. He gave us extra two hours for check out since I wasn’t feeling well . That was a very nice gesture . We enjoyed our stay !
We came to see the fall colors and they did not disappoint. Lutzen Lakehouse was a perfect hub. Beautiful lake views and the stars at night were amazing. The home is very cozy and we enjoyed the fireplace. Thank you!
We had an amazing time staying on Lake superior with our family. The house comfortably fit all six of us. The house is clean with all the amenities listed. The best part was the Internet was very fast so my husband was able to work and be along with us on our stay. I highly recommend this home.
This is the perfect location for your North Shore experience! Every morning started with a cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the sunrise on the lake. Each evening ended with a rustic campfire on the rocks - and even a dip in the lake. The days were filled with hiking, food, and fun!
We'll be back next year!!
