Our family could not have found a more lovely, peaceful lake home to spend time together . From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the beautiful, clean, sunny spaces filled with so much attention to detail. We had everything we needed and more to cook our meals together, sauna daily , play games, enjoy the trees and lake views , canoe , swim, sauna and simply be together in our favorite Lutsen area of the Northshore. It was so convenient to our visit to Grand Marais, local winery and bike path for runs. The screen porch was a hit with our grandchild and each night we read books out there together . Cheryl & Ann were amazing with communication and so kind . We so appreciate them sharing their home with us. We will be back! David, Lee Anne & family

This property is STUNNING. I could have stayed a month! Cleanliness was *impeccable*, amenities were amazing, coziness was off the charts! I would go back any time of the year. Kitchen is exceptionally stocked and super fun to cook in with the island, fireplace is in the center of the room adding ambiance to the whole place. The house is suitable for two families with a small ktichenette in the lower level. We had a blast playing ping pong too! 10 out of 10 stars!

Peaceful, location on beautiful lake. House and location was as described. Hosts were extremely great and easy to communicate with. Canoes and Kayaks were located near dock and easy to launch and fun to paddle around the quiet lake. Caught a bass off the dock after watching a nice sunrise over the glass-like lake. Location is great for quick access to Lutsen resort, Grand Marais, and hiking all over. House provided all the needs, nice fireplace ar night.

Beautiful lake front property with a lot of amenities and things to do for entire family. The location strikes the balance by being secluded enough to feel like you are living by yourself in a beautiful part of the country but close enough to visit nearby day trip destinations.

This light-filled cabin was even better than I could have imagined. It is GORGEOUS and has everything that you could possibly want in a property. Everything was sparkling clean. The beds were very comfortable. The woods and lake were peaceful and beautiful. It has table tennis, which kept everyone busy indoors, and a sauna for chilly days. There was great communication from the property manager, who made the entire process feel very easy. Bonus - there is a charger for your electric vehicle!

Lovely light filled home with tremendous views AND water access. Dad loved walking out to the dock countless times during the day to cast a line. We paddled and enjoy the scenery, had great access to SHT spur trail with amazing views and enjoyed so many wonderful activities right from the home base of this cabin. So much to do! The stars are bright and the cabin is fully equipped - sauna, bonfire pit and attention to detail to help keep furry friends happy too. Thank you fo the dog towels and outdoor bowls! I truly ant say enough great things about this wonderful space. Thank you for sharing it with us.

It was the perfect space four our girlfriend getaway providing space to be all together but also spread out throughout the house and on the lakefront property. The bedrooms give you a sense that you are almost sleeping in the forest because of the large windows. The bathrooms were also a major highlight with our group. Anne and Cheryl are amazing hosts providing information about the home and suggestions about what to do in the area. We would highly recommend this home.

Our family could not have found a more lovely, peaceful lake home to spend time together . From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the beautiful, clean, sunny spaces filled with so much attention to detail. We had everything we needed and more to cook our meals together, sauna daily , play games, enjoy the trees and lake views , canoe , swim, sauna and simply be together in our favorite Lutsen area of the Northshore. It was so convenient to our visit to Grand Marais, local winery and bike path for runs. The screen porch was a hit with our grandchild and each night we read books out there together . Cheryl & Ann were amazing with communication and so kind . We so appreciate them sharing their home with us. We will be back! David, Lee Anne & family

This property is first rate! A beautiful and private setting, perfect for cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking, stargazing, or just relaxing by the fire on a wintry day. Property owners were extremely welcoming and readily available to answer questions. Wish we could have given 10 stars - that's how great it is!

Lovely light filled home with tremendous views AND water access. Dad loved walking out to the dock countless times during the day to cast a line. We paddled and enjoy the scenery, had great access to SHT spur trail with amazing views and enjoyed so many wonderful activities right from the home base of this cabin. So much to do! The stars are bright and the cabin is fully equipped - sauna, bonfire pit and attention to detail to help keep furry friends happy too. Thank you fo the dog towels and outdoor bowls! I truly ant say enough great things about this wonderful space. Thank you for sharing it with us.

This is our second stay in this beautiful home. We hope to continue our annual winter visit for family relaxation, snowshoeing on Caribou Lake, and skiing at Lutsen Mountain.

We thoroughly enjoyed our annual trip to the North Shore and week-long stay at the Light Lake House. We love the location and privacy on Lake Caribou, the cozy accommodations, and proximity to local venues for winter activities. It never disappoints!

Our family came to stay for a long weekend. We spent a couple days skiing together at Lutsen and this was a perfect place to stay. The home is beautiful, clean, cozy, and well appointed. The hosts are fabulous and gave us some great suggestions for what to do in the area. Highly suggest and can’t wait to go back!!

My fiance and I had a wonderful stay in the North Woods. Check-in was smooth and easy. The lake house was clean and just as pictured. Communication from Ann was superb. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again in the summer.

Our family could not have found a more lovely, peaceful lake home to spend time together . From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the beautiful, clean, sunny spaces filled with so much attention to detail. We had everything we needed and more to cook our meals together, sauna daily , play games, enjoy the trees and lake views , canoe , swim, sauna and simply be together in our favorite Lutsen area of the Northshore. It was so convenient to our visit to Grand Marais, local winery and bike path for runs. The screen porch was a hit with our grandchild and each night we read books out there together . Cheryl & Ann were amazing with communication and so kind . We so appreciate them sharing their home with us. We will be back! David, Lee Anne & family

Beautiful, clean home. Excellent communication with host. Loved the Fika coffee beans. Absolutely stop at Fika coffee for a maple latte. Best coffee ever! We fished, hiked and enjoyed the beautiful lake. Super quiet and relaxing location.

This property is STUNNING. I could have stayed a month! Cleanliness was *impeccable*, amenities were amazing, coziness was off the charts! I would go back any time of the year. Kitchen is exceptionally stocked and super fun to cook in with the island, fireplace is in the center of the room adding ambiance to the whole place. The house is suitable for two families with a small ktichenette in the lower level. We had a blast playing ping pong too! 10 out of 10 stars!

This property is the cleanest most stocked and fun packed VRBO I’ve ever seen! Ann and Cheryl have thought about everything! Our family had a ton to do outside the cabin and inside 13/10! Would recommend.

This was our third time staying at this property, and once again, it was perfect! Beautiful home in an idyllic setting. The home is spacious and updated. Kitchen is stocked with anything you could need. The sauna felt wonderful after coming back from snowshoeing. We loved it!

A quiet and serene stay was made wonderful by this unique house. Views of the outdoors, trees and lake from every room. Wonderfully restored/updated house that was fully equipped in the kitchen and bathrooms. House was immaculately clean. Great communication with our hosts about our stay. This house was easily the nicest VRBO we have stayed in and we hope to return.

Absolutely spectacular property and such a wonderful experience. Ann and Cheryl are the warmest, most helpful and most responsive hosts we've ever encountered. The property is gorgeous and immaculately maintained, and perfect for a family or friends getaway trip to the North Shore. We enjoyed a day skiing at Lutsen and a day in Grand Marais, and spent the evenings cooking and hanging out. The sauna was so relaxing after a day of skiing; we actually enjoyed it every night. Would love to come back in the summertime and have a campfire down by the lake. Truly a fantastic place.

Home was phenomenal! Had everything we needed for a relaxing week stay with the family. The northern woods setting is just beautiful. We were excited from the moment we drove up. Six people (all adults) and two dogs fit perfectly. We had everything available to prepare meals in the very well equipped kitchen. Lots of winter activities to keep us busy with skiing, snowmobiling and Nordic ice skating. Hosts were amazingly gracious and helpful with anything we needed. We hope to come back in the summertime to enjoy the lake and summer activities. Felt like home away from home. Made it very hard to leave. Thank you for sharing it with us!
