Lutsen Fall Basecamp - Trails + Views + Pool + Hot Tub
Experience late summer and fall on Minnesota’s North Shore from your basecamp at Lutsen Mountains. Hike the Superior Hiking Trail, ride the gondola, explore waterfalls, mountain bike, golf, or take a scenic drive along Lake Superior—all just minutes from your door.
After a day outside, relax in the indoor or outdoor pool and hot tub, unwind by the fireplace, or settle in for a comfortable evening with family and friends.
Our comfortable 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome sleeps up to 7 and offers a full kitchen, comfortable gathering spaces, and a convenient Lutsen location. Dogs are welcome, too.
Fall is one of the best times to experience the North Shore, with crisp evenings, brilliant foliage and miles of trails to explore. Whether you're planning a family getaway, hiking weekend, couples trip or fall-color escape, you'll have Lutsen Mountains and the North Shore at your doorstep.
Explore the nearby Superior National Forest, where you can hike, bike, or simply immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty. Back at the property, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen, allowing you to whip up family meals. Gather around the dining table, or step outside and fire up the grill for an open flame dining experience.

We had a great weekend in Lutsen! The property was great for our family and had all the amenities we could need! We used the pool and hot tub, sauna and fitness center. The restaurant on site was great too with live music in the evenings as well. David was super easy to reach with questions and responded quickly to all of our questions!! Thanks for a great stay.
The four of girls had a blast! We stopped at Black Sand Beach which was right on the way. During our stay we hiked at Cascade Falls, went to North Shore Winery, Grand Marias, and took the Gondola ride! We enjoyed playing the games that were at the VRBO and having our own sauna/spa night in. Thanks for the stay!
Stayed at this beautiful spot for a golf trip. The property is as described. In a great location and close to amenities. There was plenty of room for four guys to hang and the unit is well stocked. Kristin and David were great to work with and the check in process was easy and efficient. Thanks again!
Was a good stay. My boys were able to ski right from the lodge. I work in the vacation rental industry, and see a lot of units. Photos are exactly how the unit looked and felt. Our boys had the basement to themselves, and all were comfortable.
No complaints. The unit is as-advertised. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook meals as well as warm up with a fire and in the sauna after a day in the cold. We would book it again.
Location was great and nice to have a restaurant to walk to on the property. The condo was cozy and had a nice layout. It was a little dated and the upstairs bathroom shower was clogged so we had to use the downstairs shower. We did report this and maintenance was to be notified but we never heard anything back again from maintenance before we left the property. Otherwise everything was fine and we enjoyed our stay!

Disappointment
We were greeted with leftover food in the frig and cupboard, a toilet that didn’t work, and a general feel of less than clean.
Which was too bad, because the place could have been nice. Space was good, location was good… it just felt tired and dingy

We were excited to find this property in our desired location, perfect for our family of 6 and grandma, with great reviews. We arrived at 4:30pm after a long travel day and appreciated the easy check-in process. However, we quickly noticed signs of wear and tear, which wasn’t surprising for a short-term rental, despite the listing stating it was new.
During unpacking, we found cleanliness issues: black mold on the shower curtain liner, dirty toilet bowls, and dog fur throughout the unit. We removed the moldy liner and tried to overlook the other issues as it was late. The next day, after enjoying activities on the North Shore, we returned to the unit. At this time we found the upstairs toilet would leak significantly when flushed. We stopped using this toilet for the rest of the stay after checking for more leaks. We also experienced the water pressure drop nearly to no flow, especially on the upper levels.
We reported these concerns to the owners after putting the kids to bed. They thanked us for the feedback and assured us the cleaning crew would address these issues for future guests. We checked out the next morning.
Despite these issues, the property’s location is fantastic and has great potential. With improved cleaning and maintenance, it could be an excellent place to stay.
Great place to enjoy a weekend of skiing. Many options to stay busy on and off the slopes. Pool and hot tub area was easy to access and nearby. Restaurant takeout was a quick walk away, too, on a night when we did not want to cook. Terrific and timely communication from the host.
Perfect location, really nice property. You can ski right out onto the trail that connects down to Moose Mountain (note that depending on skiers' experience/ability). Otherwise it's only a minute drive to the main base as well. You can walk to trails, a restaurant, and see the mountains from the condo. The owners were also accommodating and responsive. It's a great property, strongly recommend.
The lodging is ideally located for a true ski-in/ski-out experience. I last stayed in these units back in 2000, and while they have been well maintained, they are beginning to show their age.The kids really enjoyed the pool (not attached), and the adults appreciated the ability to prepare meals and take breaks as needed. The townhome is well equipped with pots, pans, a coffee maker, and other essentials.One area for improvement would be the kitchen lighting, which could be brighter. It also would have been nice to have access to the ski storage cabinet outside and the downstairs sauna, but unfortunately, both were unavailable during our stay.Overall, we had an enjoyable visit and would rent here again.
