Charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation home in the heart of Lutsen, a true recreational paradise.

Our home was professionally decorated and it's very comfortably furnished. The master bedroom suite offers a private retreat after a hard day at play. There's a whirlpool for two and a private bath and every window offers views of mountains, trees or Lake Superior.

Lutsen's ski hills are just a mile up Ski Hill Road, you can see the ski runs from the master bedroom window. This is the best skiing in Midwest! Miles of scenic snowmobile trails through Superior National Forest accessible directly from our home.

Hundreds of miles of spectacular hiking trails criss cross the forests and mountains. Mountain biking and horseback riding are available at the top of the hill. Kids of all ages will love the Alpine Slide just up the road. Ride the new 8 passenger Gondola to the top of Moose Mountain and have lunch on the deck of the chalet, it's a spectacular view! Golfers, Superior National Golf course offers 27 holes of beautiful scenery and challenging golf right across Ski Hill Road. Bikers, the newest section of the Gitchi-Gami State trail is just a 1/4 of a mile down Ski Hill Road. Enjoy a smooth ride along the lake, over the waterfalls in Temperance River Park and all the way to Cross River. Walk to the North Shore WInery across Lodge Lane.

Set in Superior National Forest with no buildings behind it, just lots of trees. Fabulous 3 season porch. There's a private fire ring to gather around for evenings under the stars and let me tell you, they are spectacular here. It's the ideal vacation home for families and friends. Close to everything you love about the north shore, but away from the busy resorts.

Once you stay at a privately owned vacation home, you'll never want to stay in a hotel again.

Wonderful, well-appointed, peaceful cabin
This was our family’s third stay in this wonderful cabin, and it was once again a lovely experience. We have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stays, from the attentive and timely communication with the owner, to the well-appointed kitchen, to the overall coziness, comfort and cleanliness of the cabin. Great location to nearby state parks, hiking, skiing, etc. and walking distance to the winery. At this point it truly feels like a home away from home, and we have many fond memories of our time spent together here.

Fantastic rental!
My extended family spends a weekend on the north shore every year. We have stayed at many cabins and resorts, and this is one is definitely one of the top places we have stayed. Clean, updated, perfect for our group of 7. Some of the things we appreciated were the new pots and pans and a complete kitchen (everything you could need!). We also liked the two different porches - one open air and one screened in - perfect for MN nights with mosquitos. Great location for exploring the Grand Marais area. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice home to spend some time in. Nice televisions for the Olympics…fully stocked kitchen for our meals. Nice location to many parks. The deck is unique…that it is partially open…and part screened in. After a fire one night…we met a bear running around the corner…fun!

Lovely family stay
The property was clean and the kitchen was very well kitted out. While the property is very close to the lake it is a stretch to say it has a lake view and the hot-tub, though lovely is an indoor whirlpool bath. The children loved the board games and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

Beautiful home
What a beautiful home and wonderful experience. We have been wanting to spend a few nights up along the North Shore, and (other than the mosquitoes we encountered, which were no joke!) we were not disappointed. The lodge was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to cook some of our meals at the lodge. If there was anything at all we needed, Jo was so helpful and very quick to respond. We also appreciate how close we were to so many of the attractions in the area. (Not to mention the North Shore Winery which was literally right around the corner!) Jo suggested driving up to the Canadian border to see the High Falls in Grand Portage. Breathtaking! I highly recommend taking the relatively short drive up there. What made it even more beautiful this time of year were the lupines which were in full bloom! If we plan another vacation up north we will definitely want to stay in the lodge again.

Great experience at Lutsen Solitude
Jo was a great hostess and the property was great. Weather caused some travel difficulties for us and communications with Jo were perfect, she was able to allow some flexibility in check-in to help our trip be successful which was unexpected and hugely appreciated. We'll seek out this and other priorities of theirs in future Northern Minnesota adventures. Property at Lutsen was in very good shape and in an awesome location just a few minutes from the ski hill and across the road from the winery which made for a fun visit as well.

About the host

Hosted by Jo Ebbert

Host profile image
We are from the Twin Cities, I grew up in Iowa and Bob grew up in North St. Paul. We started coming to the north shore together over 35 years ago and it stole our hearts. We got engaged and then married on Moose Mountain, the mountain you can see from the master bedroom window, yes, we rode the gondolas in a wedding and gown and a tux. Our reception was at Bluefin Bay so this area holds a lot of wonderful memories for us. We eventually got tired of the busyness of resorts and decided to buy a place we could call our home where it was private and quiet but still close to all the fun things to do in the area. We love the changes that have come to the area since then, the Gitchi Gami bike trail at the bottom of hill, the North Shore Winery next door, the major improvements at Lutsen Mountains a mile up the hill and Superior National Golf course across the road, it's a fabulous location. We are so happy to share our home with fellow north shore lovers, we hope to host your stay in our home away from home and make some wonderful memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

We come to the north shore as often as we can. After years of staying at a nearby resort, sometimes several times a year, we finally decided owning a home 'up north' made sense for us so we bought our vacation home in Lutsen. Of all the areas along the north shore, Lutsen has the most activities nearby making it a great place to go for an active vacation. We love to hike, snowshoe, golf and of course, watch the 'big lake'. Other nearby activities our guests enjoy include snowmobiling, you can leave right from our place to get on the trails, cross country skiing, the nearest trail is just up the hill, mountain biking, riding the Alpine Slide, downhill skiing and snowboarding a mile away at Lutsen Mountains, biking the Gitchi Gami trail at the bottom of Ski Hill Road even whitewater rafting the nearby Poplar River. Guests love being a short walk to the North Shore Winery on the other side of trees along Lodge Lane. There are art and gift galleries and boat rides in Grand Marais 20 minutes away, a favorite day trip for lunch and shopping. You'll run out of time before you run out of things to do but that's okay, you'll want to return, it's beautiful here in every season and always FUN!

What makes this property unique

Our home is one of only 12 homes that share 20 acres, it's not part of a resort so it's quiet and private but still really close to everything we love to do in Lutsen. We appreciate being out on our 3 season porch or deck and seeing trees, not other buildings. What made us fall in love with it is the decor. The home was built in 2001 and decorated right after September 11th so the builder's professional decorators chose a red and white and blue color scheme, it's very colorful and so unique. When we say it's cute, it really is, people love staying here.
