Wonderful location for family!

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!

Grandparents treat family to ski weekend

Our family of 11 had a wonderful time staying at the North Shore Retreat. The skiing was great! Only disappointment was the pool/spa was closed due to problems with humidity control. This gave our family more time to enjoy the great condo's fireplace, play games and puzzles. Wonderful place for large family to spend time together but also room spread out.

50th anniversary trip

The space was perfect for our family. We knew ahead of time that the WiFi was not great, but the coming upgrades will help as it was really hard to get a signal. All the adults felt that an upgrade to the pillows would be a good change.

Six Stars!

This property was perfect for our extended family of 13. We did not feel cramped in the spacious accommodations on multiple levels. The kitchen was well equipped and the place was spotless. The owners were very responsive to our emails prior to our stay and texts during our time in Lutsen. Thanks for the base to make great memories with our children, their spouses and our grandkids. We would definitely come back

Remembering

We have always loved the Lutsen area. This property was a great choice for 11 people. We used all three units that were hooked together. We took turns cooking. We celebrated my husband’s 70th birthday. People played games and watched movies. The place worked beautifully for all. It reminded us of all the old times on the north shore. Thanks to Jereme and Sara!

Jereme and Sara gave very through check-in and check-out information. The unit is great. Perfect for our 3 family-unit group. The resort's pools and area destinations can't be beat. The huge deck and sounds of the river rapids enhance the north woods feel. Be sure to take the gondola ride. The alpine slide is bobsled style long ride down the mountain. The grandkids couldn't stop riding the slide. They smiled, laughed, and screamed all the way.
