Stunning Setting,
Ideal Location for a Memorable North Shore Getaway

"The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth shows His handiwork."

Reserve your stay at Lutsen Lakehouse and you will experience this passage from the Book of Psalms as Lake Superior's thundering waves crash against the ledgerock shoreline, northern lights dance across the sky, and a full moon rises over the big lake they call Gitchigummi. And that's just the view outside.

Inside, you will appreciate the comforts of a beautiful, professionally-cleaned home. Unwind by a soothing fire in the massive wood-burning fieldstone fireplace, enjoy a meal from the fully-equiped kitchen and family times around the handcrafted dining room table, and then let the sound of Lake Superior’s waves lull you to sleep.

Enjoy all this and be just a few minutes from Lutsen Ski Resort, Superior Hiking Trail, Superior National Golf Course, North Shore cross-country ski trails, and a short drive to Grand Marais and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Special memories are made at Lutsen Lakehouse! On behalf of our family, we look forward to being in touch with you.

David and Brodie Wheaton, owners/operators

HISTORY: The home was built in 1994 and we purchased it as our family cabin in 1999. It is available for respectful renters seeking a quiet North Shore vacation. You will find pictures, poems, and other items around the house that represent our family and Christian faith.

SETTING: The 2200 square foot home sits on two acres and 200' of Lake Superior coastline. There is no home on the neighboring property to the west and plenty of distance and trees from a home on the neighboring property to the east. There is also ample buffer between the home and North Shore 61 with a service road and long driveway.

VIEW/LAKESHORE: The home features lots of windows with panoramic views of Lake Superior. Water’s edge is close with easy access. The ledgerock shoreline is perfect for campfires and enjoying the view.

DECKS: A deck extends along the lakeside (south side) and the west side of the house, with gliders, deck chairs, and a large table for relaxing and taking in the view. The covered west side deck off the dining room and kitchen is where the Weber grill is located. There is also a large deck off the upstairs west bedroom.

BEDROOMS and BATHROOMS: All bedrooms have wonderful lake views. The main level master bedroom has a queen bed and full bathroom. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with four twin beds and a half bath. There is an additional full bathroom on the main level.

LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM, KITCHEN: All three rooms are open and connected with dramatic views of the lake. The LIVING ROOM features a massive wood-burning fieldstone fireplace (complimentary split firewood is available). The DINING ROOM has a large, round table perfect for family times and games. The KITCHEN is fully equipped, with Sub-Zero fridge, double wall ovens, gas stovetop, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, and plenty of cookware and dishes (full list kitchen items available upon request).

AUDIO/VISUAL: Samsung 40” LED TV in the living room with AT&T TV Now streaming service and DVD player. The sound system with Bose speakers plays CDs, FM/AM radio, and has a AUX port to plug in your portable audio device (you'll need to bring your own 1/8' male-to-male cable). A digital piano is available in the loft.

INTERNET: Free high-speed WiFi is available in the home.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES: Free, fast-charging outlet (240 Volt, NEMA 14-50 outlet) available for Tesla and other EV owners.

LAUNDRY: Laundromat is available one mile west in Lutsen. For extended stays, clean linens and towels can be arranged with the home’s caretakers, who live just down the street.
