\"North Shore Retreat\" Lutsen 5 Bed/4 Bath, Sleeps 14, Ski in - Ski out

We had a great time at this property. We traveled with three families in total and everyone had a blast! This is a really great location, however, the ski in/ski out at this location is a bit tricky. You technically do have to walk (a short distance) to the trail that takes you in/out. It's not major but makes it a bit more difficult. A hot tub outside would be a great amenity as the hot tub at the lodge was packed. All in all, we would totally stay here again!

Beautiful, spacious condo with plenty of blankets, towels, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and our family of 13 had a wonderful time. The lodge is close by and you have access to the indoor pool and hot tub as well as the outdoor pool. Jereme was always quick to respond to any questions we had before our stay. He even provided tips and suggestions for things to do while in the area. We would definitely stay there again, it’s one of the best places we’ve ever rented!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay— there were 9 adults and a baby! We were there to celebrate my 70th birthday and all be together. A few skied some but mostly we played games, ate well, enjoyed the hot tub and being entertained by my 1.5 yr old granddaughter. The set up worked out great. The only complaint we had was the oven— it caused us some confusion and delays, but we survived!! Thanks for the great place!! Nancy Sullivan and family

We enjoyed our weekend with our family at the North Shore Retreat. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. This was our second time staying at this house and although it was a great spot with access to all the fun things we like to do, the beds are well loved and could use a refresh.

Convenient and clean

The accomodations at this property were all first rate. We had 8 Adults stay and it accomodated us with room to spare. Furnishings were very nice and comfortable. Amenities were first rate and well maintained. Only issue was we could not figure out how to get the AC to operate. After a quick call the property manager walked us through the issue and we were up and running in no time. Highly recomend this property for larger groups...Five Beds, Four Baths. Very Nice.

We have been meeting as an extended family at the North Shore Retreat for the last seven years. It has become like a second home on the North Shore for three generations of our family. The space is always clean, well equipped, and in perfect shape for our enjoyment. The hosts have thought of all of the details and are always responsive. Thank you for another great year of memories.

Our family of four stayed here with another family of four for a long ski weekend. Pros: It was very clean and roomy. We loved having the fully equipped kitchen to make all our meals together and the table was large enough for us to all sit down and eat together. The rooms all has fans and humidifiers which was a nice surprise. The kids enjoyed building snowmen outside and watching movies by the big fireplace after each day of skiing. The host was very responsive as well. The cons: We rented a ski-in/ ski-out so that we could bring the kids back as needed for a rest, grab lunches and not deal with the lack of parking at the mountain. This is NOT an easy ski-in/ski-out. We acknowledge that we arrive during a blizzard and the trails could have been covered but directly behind the condo is a large drop off and even if you could ski through woods to get out to the trail, getting back in required taking your skis off and hiking back up the hill carrying your skis…and tired kids and their skis if you have kids. We had 4 kids ranging from 8 to 17 and only one of them could make this trip so we ended up having to drive back and forth to the mountain. We also spent a frustrating first half of our two day skiing just trying to figure out how to get two and from the mountain. It was very disappointing. All in all, we loved the property but it’s access to the hills was disappointing for the amount of money we paid.

Very nice, well kept, everyone had a wonderful time.

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

We loved having the space for our 3 families. Everyone was happy!

We (group of 6 adults and 6 kids) really enjoyed our stay at North Shore Retreat. The layout of the condo was great for our group. I loved that there was so much seating at the large dining room table, it made it easy to eat and play board games together. The kitchen had everything we needed, even a crock pot! The manager communicated well with us and was able to accommodate special requests related to our check out time. The ski out was easy to do, though getting back was more challenging for young skiers, but nothing that would prevent us form staying here again. I would love to see a king bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms to help this place feel more like home. We look forward to coming back again next year if possible!

Nice home. plenty of room.

this was the perfect house/set up for our family. Everyone had their own room and enough bathrooms everyone was able to get ready. Beautiful scenery. We had a lot of fun, plenty of room around the large kitchen table for all of us.

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.

There was supposed to be a bunk bed in bedroom 5 but it was just a double bed. I feel like the pictures on the website were not the same house we were in. The layout was the same but the furniture, countertops and flooring was different. Strange. We ran out of paper towels. We did enjoy the house and had a good family weekend away.

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!

Wonderful property, charming cabin like feel. Great hosts. Exactly what we were looking for. Would book it again. thanks!

We enjoyed our stay at Lutsen with a large family group. The condo worked great for our group and allowed us to take a convenient break for lunch and avoided the chalet. Communication was great from the owner, they checked in with us upon arrival and departure. Everything was up to expectations and we would book again.

This is a fantastic option on-site at Lutsen with extremely responsive owners!

The property was perfect, and had everything we could’ve needed and more. Well equipped kitchen, space to spreadout, clean, comfortable and inviting. Was welcomed with some chocolates, a bottle of wine, and a card from the owner. Even got a text during our stay to ensure everything was going well. I give this property an exceptional 5.0 Star Review 🙂 will definitely book again.

This was our 4th annual Lutsen trip with our family and very best friends! Jereme was a great host/communicator from the very start which made our trip that much easier. The house was just as expected, with a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room for our large group! We can’t wait to return in 2025!

We loved it! Had a problem with the front door lock but other than that, we had a great time there. Hosts and caretaker were wonderful!

Great location. Well-appointed. Easy to communicate with owner/property manager. Perfect!

Can’t beat the location and really appreciated the communication and organization from the owners…we hope to be back again!

It was a great place for my family to gather from different locations to celebrate the Christmas Holidays. The only disappointment was the weather…… no snow, just rain and fog…..very unusual conditions for this time of year. We made the best of it though! The backdrop of Lake Superior never disappoints!
