Applicable taxes and fees will be added to room rates.
Please inquire for details on specials running throughout the year.

Now boasting over 225 5 star reviews, the most for comparable properties on the North Shore!

Our North Shore Retreat located on the Poplar Ridge of Lutsen Resort, located on Lutsen Resort just 4 hours from the Twin Cities, sits at the base of Moose Mountain, in Minnesota's largest ski in - ski out luxury resort. Our home is not just a winter wonderland of skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and any other winter activity you can imagine. Fall brings a blaze of color up the mountain, and all along the north shore.

Come in the spring and summer to enjoy miles of biking, and hiking trails, or the 27 hole Superior National Golf Course, just next door, offers spectacular views of Lake Superior. You may want to fish inland lakes, or charter a boat for fishing Lake Superior. And of course, hunt for agates along the shores of 'The Big Lake'. Not to be forgotten is the famous Alpine Slide, and Superior Hiking Trail, just a walk up the road.

At any season, a ride to the top of Moose Mountain via the Gondola to have lunch, and view Lake Superior and the surrounding forest is a must see! Guests enjoy all the resort amenities, such as indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, and restaurant & lounge.

The area offers many unique shops, art galleries, antique dealers, and restaurants from fine dining to the casual family style pizza pallor. Or spend the day at one of the several State Parks, hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, or strolling the shore's of Lake Superior.

Our home can accommodate up to 14 people maximum, with locking ski lockers outside the front door.

The main floor boasts a two story stone wood burning fireplace, full kitchen, balcony w/patio furniture and gas grill and great view of Moose Mountain and Gondola.

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.

2024 Lutsen Trip
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!

A Minnesota North Shore Delight
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!

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!

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

Family weekend
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.

Extended Family Getaway
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.

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.

Fantastic Property
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.

Great Place to Stay at Lutsen!
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!

My 70th Birthday gathering
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
