About this house rental
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 overlooking Lake Superior right on the Gitchi-Gami bike trail. Local folks call it 'the glass house' due to the large windows offering180 degree views of Lake Superior.
Only 3 miles to the Ski Hill. Close enough to the Lutsen Ski Resort 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 many dvds & games for the whole family 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.
Due to the cliff edge, we prefer no children under the age of 13 for safety purposes. We have recently added portable air conditioning in the great room for the rare moments the North Shore is affected by global warming.

The North Shore is one of the near perfect places on this earth. This particular property showcases the area beautifully. The layout and decor are comforting and fun, and it was the perfect place for a couples getaway.

We loved this home. It was very modern and had every convenience we have at home. The views are every bit as amazing as the photos show, and it is very bright when the sun is out. The whole place is very spacious.
The house heats up fast in the summer, but they have air conditioners to counter act the heat in the afternoon. It was amazing to see the night sky through the dome.

The view from the cliff is amazing. Looking out at this great expanse of water is awe inspiring. It’s quiet and tranquil yet within a short drive to Grand Marais, the Gunflint Trail and further up the road to Grand Portage. Having en-suite bedrooms located at either end of home is great for privacy.

Excellent, just like it was 14-15 years ago. She has made some small changes and improvements. Excellent. Couple of issues but not problems from our viewpoint. Could not get the bedroom TV to run, but maybe our lack of talent with truck stuff. A small issue but we were unable to tol
totally reclose a couple of windows. Had problem finding garbage dumping spot. Seems like the small amount we had it could be left or better instructions are needed. We love your facility and may try another visit to make us a three Peter!!!!! Thank you.

Beautiful home with panoramic views of Lake Superior from the living room, both bedrooms, and the master bathroom with whirlpool. There are no napkins, paper towels, plastic wrap etc so bring some with. Other than that the kitchen is well stocked! We really enjoyed our 3 night stay! Would definitely stay again!

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay. From the moment we walked in, we were in awe and felt inspired by the views of the Great Lake.
Morning sunrises we're epic! Let's just say that reading and drawing were a must for us here.
We also loved being close to hiking Lutsen area and visiting Grand Marais. We all wished we had a longer stay, and look forward to visiting again hopefully next fall.

Great property with awesome views - convenient to many north shore activities. Loved the layout of the house - we were staying with another couple and each had our own “wing”.

The Horizon House is a unique home with an exceptional view of Lake Superior. The house is well-equipped and the owner, Kitty, has provided all the information needed to make yourself at home. The central location of the house on the North Shore makes it easy to take advantage of all the State Park hiking trails and waterfalls both north and south of the house, as well as, the Gitchi Gami walking and biking trail with access right off the driveway.
2.0 / 5.0
Dated property especially for the nightly cost on the North shore, as an example Bluefin resort offers more tranquility and water access for views not just from condos but also outside. Was noisy due to highway, paying cleaning cost then having to not only strip beds but take garbage to local store also not a vacation thought process. Mutiple security cameras also not private. Truly unfortunate as we looked forward to the views however obstructed by overgrowth and not views at all-

Horizons was incredible for the views and architecture. Such a cool story and history with this place! Very clean, huge floor to ceiling windows throughout give incredible views. From bed I could view the Sturgeon Moon and sunrise. There is everything you need for a longer stay, very clean and comfortable. Because part of the ceiling is actually a large dome window, it could get a little warm during the day, but there are AC and fan units to pull cool air in. We loved all the books and puzzles available. Beds were very comfortable! Kittie and local contact were great to work with. Perfect location near Tofte, Grand Marais and the bike trail. This was definitely a “destination” and unique North Shore experience!

Stayed with our two teenaged kids over a long Father's Day weekend. Premier property in a fabulous location. Plenty to see and do nearby.

My wife, our 16 YO son and I went north for spring break! We did some skiing at Lutsen and snowmobiling on the north shore trails. Super close to the ski hills. The driveway was big enough for our 2 place trailer and one truck, might be a little tight for additional combinations but plenty of room for another car. The trail was right across 61 and it was really easy to get to the entire trail system.
My wife loves to cook and had everything she needed to prepare homemade meals during our visit. The complete separation of the bedrooms on either side of the living space is great for couples traveling together. The views of the lake were spectacular and worth the trip!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The views were great, and there is plenty of space for 6 people. You can’t get a better location being only a quick 7 minute drive from Lutsen mountain!

This was our second time here for a Lutsen ski trip! It is one of our favorite places to stay with the best views of Lake Superior! Everything was clean and exactly as listed. Beds were comfy and the location is hard to beat. Easy drive to the ski hills and to the winery (one of our favorite stops). When we are headed back to the area, we always look to see if Kittie’s place is available! 😊
5.0 / 5.0
Everything you could ask for in a quiet retreat, from watching the sunrise over Lake Superior through the wall of windows, to calming, therapeutic afternoons in the stillness of the great white north, and so many stars fitting the midnight sky.
Simply put… this property was grand enough to get two teenagers to put their devices down and appreciate their surroundings.
I’ve already booked a return trip, because I need to go back.

This is clearly a special place and is reflected in the care the owners have taken with this property. Thank you so much for opening your home to others to enjoy Lake Superior and all that the Northern Minnesota woods has to offer. Thank you!

This property was exactly as advertised, but can only be fully appreciated in person- what a view! This was perfect for myself and a few friends for a North Shore weekend. Great location close to the Lutsen Mountains, very private, and check in and out was a seamless process. Kittie was very professional, kind, and communicative about the property and reservation. Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.

What a cool property! We lucked out with beautiful fall colors so we were able to soak the views in from really any spot in the house. Amazing location! Kittie was super response to any questions we had during our stay. The heating system was a bit tricky to navigate but Kittie helped us out and we got the place nice and toasty. Great setup for two couples as the place has rooms on either wing with their own bathrooms. It was a great fall weekend getaway and perfect location for hiking and mountain biking.
