Mountain Inn at Lutsen Lodge

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Mountain Inn at Lutsen earns praise for very clean, quiet rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient, scenic location near Lutsen Mountains, offering simple, no-frills comfort with easy parking, pet-friendly touches, and relaxed outdoor gathering areas.

Common tradeoffs include no elevator, no included breakfast or on-site restaurant, and reliance on a small paid pantry for snacks and coffee.

Service is often warm and helpful but front desk coverage is limited at times, with occasional delays or after-hours self check-in. Overall, expect a clean, quiet, no-frills base close to outdoor activities.

Very clean & spacious. Staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Felt very safe and quiet (maybe it was the off-season or time of year, but still). Only bummer was no elevator to upper floors - but not the end of the world at all. 10/10 would stay again and definitely would recommend to others!

It's also great that it's dog friendly, and the other guests with dogs all kept them well-behaved. I would definitely recommend The Mountain Inn at Lutsen!

Pro tip: Bring earplugs Inexpensive compared to others in area; nice decor; excellent bed with a variety of pillow options. Separate recycle bin is a nice touch, but antithetical to the Keurig coffee maker in-room. There's a self-serve pantry with a variety of food options including frozen pizzas and burritos (aka real food). Ski storage in room, refrigerator, and microwave. Cons included water that wasn't very hot and paper-thin walls and ceiling. I could hear someone snoring all night through the walls (bring earplugs!) and it sounded like the ceiling was crashing in when folks moved around in the room above (get a room on the top floor!)

Location is stellar. Front desk staff was not helpful. We checked to see if we could check in early and couldn’t find anyone to assist us. When someone did show up they said our room wasn’t ready which was fine. They said it would be ready in 20 minutes and they would call us. An hour later we checked back after no call and our room was ready. The staff did not tell us the doors locked at 8pm. I went outside to get something out of the car at 8:10pm and the doors were locked. There were 2 people at the front desk and an employee in the lobby, I knocked multiple times to have them let in but they only looked at me. Finally after 3 tries they let me in. Definitely not a customer friendly front desk.

I saw in the check instructions that check in time was 4-8pm. Not a big deal, until it took longer than we expected at dinner. That was a minor ordeal in itself. Tuesdays in the summer seem to a problem for any restaurant within 10 miles. The Cascade was open uuntil 8pm. Anyways, it said to call the hotel if you are going to be late. Called at 7:45. Voicemail. Arrived at 8:00. No one was at the desk. Called the number again. Phone rang at the front desk. No one came to answer it. Called the number for the other "sister hotel." Voicemail. No bell to ring. About 10 minutes later a lady came out from the back. She was nice, but the whole situation was uncomfortable and seems like it could have been avoidable. The rest of our stay was flawless.

The staff was helpful and the rooms clean and lovely.. The only unexpected thing was that there is no breakfast. There is a pantry where they provided coffee, cold cereal, snack items with milk in the fridge - all on an honor system for payment. Across the road there was a grill and bar but not sure if they served breakfast and a very nice bakery diner 8 miles in Tofte. Worth the drive!

The area is lacking in restaurants, which makes me think they should consider providing a continental breakfast. Also, the T.V. programming offered was a case of quantity over quality. They did not provide any of the channels I typically watch.
