The Mountain Inn at Lutsen

The Mountain Inn at Lutsen

8/10 Good
"Staff were very kind and helpful. It was nice to have a pantry area with snacks and breakfast items. Would have been even better if milk was available for the cereal. 🙂 They were so accommodating for our dogs-they had two dog beds with food bowls and treats waiting for us! Very nice. The beds and pillows weren’t the most comfortable and I could have used a more substantial blanket, but it was okay. Was great to have a microwave, fridge and wet bar in the room. A mirror outside the bathroom would be appreciated. All in all, a nice stay. Thanks!"

"You can't get any closer to the breathtaking gondola ride and the views of the mountain are stunning. When we were getting ready to check out my daughter discovered she was missing two gold necklaces after being near the pool. The staff worked quickly to check all of the lost and founds. They found one and my daughter found the other on the sidewalk. We look forward to going back next year to see the amazing fall colors."
