They were incredibly responsive and accommodating with our needs, and the house is fantastic. Easily fit the 7 of us, with a great space for hanging out after the day of skiing. And the Sauna was incredible! Easy to use, and really made for a great way to end the day. Well appointed kitchen, amazing deck with views of Lake Superior, quiet setting - just perfect.

Comfy yet spacious enough to spread out. We didnโ€™t try the sauna as we had a busy schedule but the fire pit was a great place to gather in the evening. Nice space for cooking or grilling. Or just enjoying the fireplace, tv, or internet. Great place to relax. ##### Lisa S.

Plenty of room for number of guests, close to Lutsen Mountain but also is extremely private. We ended up getting the sauna going early, did a polar plunge in Lake Superior and then came back to the house for some sweet time. The sauna is a great feature! Thanks for the great week! ##### craig L.

We had plenty of room and were very comfortable in the house; the kitchen is large and exceptionally well stocked with utensils and appliances, which made cooking pleasurable. The view of Lake Superior and the close proximity to so many trails and state parks made this an ideal place for us to stay. Alex and Kate are incredibly kind and generous hosts. ##### Jodi K.
