Overall we were happy with our stay in July 2024! We were a group of 6 adults, taking a few days to get away and spend time together. Todd was very informative and responsive. This home is beautiful! Loved the location, how quiet it was, the well equipped kitchen, and the space throughout the house. The only negatives during our stay, which we did communicate with Todd, were: *No window coverings in the bedroom, which made for early rising as the sun came up. *Not able to run a furnace fan for air movement throughout the house (there is no air conditioning in the home, which we understand isn’t always needed in Lutsen, but “stale” warm air isn’t comfortable for hanging out and sleeping in). As is the norm in lots of homes, leaving the windows open all night wasn’t ideal as mosquitos/gnats still found their way in. *The available grill for cooking consisted of 2 small personal size charcoal grills, which made cooking for 6 a little challenging. *Washer/Dryer not available in the house. 2 in our party traveled from 1300+miles away and were hoping to have laundry there for easy packing. Those few things aside, our group really did enjoy our time together in your home!!! Thank you, Todd!

We stayed here for a 4 day trip to the north shore. The house is fantastic - great layout, filled with natural light with views of the lake and the forest and an amazing and well stocked kitchen. We cooked in a few times and this was by far the nicest kitchen I’ve seen. The location is great too - across the street from the winery, quick drive or bike ride up to the gondola/alpine slide and an easy drive to Grand Marais and state parks. Todd was an excellent host - he communicated well and was committed to ensuring we had a great experience. I will be staying here again.

My two cousins stayed here for a relaxing girls' weekend and we really enjoyed it. The location was lovely with a view to Lake Superior, and the home was beautifully designed, spacious, clean and very comfy. The host, Todd, was conscientious, responsive and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this property — but would note that it doesn't have AC. The listing is accurate, but I missed that detail. Luckily, it didn't matter for us, even though it was mid-July. The weather was cool and we opened the windows and enjoyed the fresh air and North Shore breeze. We even used the fireplace in the evenings!

We recently stayed at Todd's remarkable home on the North Shore, and I can confidently say it was a grand experience. It was clear that Todd takes immense pride in his property and is dedicated to providing his guests with a first-class experience. Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed with the spacious Great Room, which offers wonderful views of the forest and Lake Superior through its expansive windows. The screened porch, with similar views, quickly became a favorite spot for our family to relax and enjoy each other's company. As a family who loves to cook, we found the kitchen exceptionally well-equipped. From utensils to spices, Todd has thought of everything making it a Chef's delight. The location of the home is secluded and serene, yet conveniently close to attractions such as the Lutsen ski area, Cascade River State Park, and the Superior National Golf Course. The General Store in Lutsen proved to be a convenient resource for forgotten items. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, this home on the North Shore is truly one-of-a-kind.

We recently stayed at this rare gem of a cabin on the Northshore, and it was a five-star experience from start to finish. The cabin boasts modern amenities and a true chef's kitchen that made our stay truly special. The screened porch provided breathtaking views, making it a star-gazer's dream come true. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional hosting by NorthShore John. His communication and unwavering dedication to ensuring our comfort were truly remarkable and spoke volumes about his character. We were able to fully relax and enjoy every minute of our stay thanks to his attentive care. We are already planning our return trip to this wonderful cabin to enjoy everything that John has created. A solid 10/10 rating – we can't wait to be back!"

This place is every bit as advertised. It’s gorgeous and well appointed. Everything is well thought out, including everything in the kitchen you’d need to cook with. The beds are dreamy. The windows are abundant, letting you see and enjoy all of the nature around you. And the loft was a huge hit with my teen boys. So cool!

We can’t say enough good things about our time here. Absolutely beautiful home, easy to be together with perfect common spaces and really comfortable bedrooms and baths. Spaces are organized perfectly including the chef’s kitchen. Location couldn’t be better for skiing at Lutsen. Communication with owners was simple—clear directions and a couple follow up check ins to make sure we were all set. Thanks for giving us o e of the best family weekends. We’ll be back!!

We had a wonderful stay here. Todd was very responsive, getting a faulty beeping smoke detector high up on a ceiling fixed quickly. Really went the extra mile to make us feel at home. The property itself is gorgeous with amazing views of the lake. Would highly recommend!
