About this property

Fairway Pines Retreat - Golf, Ski & Wine Escape

Fairway Pines Lodge is a 2,000 square foot log cabin located on the 5th fairway of Superior National Golf Course and is less than a 5 minute drive to the Lutsen Mountains gondola and ski area. It is also a 5 minute walk to North Shore Winery. The cabin has been designed to be a relaxing getaway and for enjoying the North Shore and is close to many activities on the North Shore.

Key Updates:
- In March 2025, we installed a mini-split air conditioner and heat pump (see pictures).
- We replaced half our deck in 2024 (see pictures). The second half is planned in 2025.

The cabin has three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms with sleeping availability for 10. Key amenities include:
- High speed (200 mb) internet
- Use of the garage, which is especially nice in winter months
- Secure ski locker for storing skis, snowshoes, etc. We have eight sets of snowshoes available for guest use (2 of 8 are kids size)
- Newer mattresses (as of April 2022)
- Newer higher end West Elm pull-out couch with gel foam mattress (as of April 2022)
- Great room has a 55" flatscreen with soundbar
- Gas Fireplace
- Outdoor Firepit
- In-Floor radiant heat
- New appliances (since 2023): washer, dryer, dishwasher, and microwave.

The kitchen has quartz counter tops with a 10-foot peninsula for a convenient eating area and coffee station. It includes stainless steel appliances and has all the modern amenities you will need for your getaway.

The great room has plenty of seating for you and your travel party to kick back and relax in front of the amazing gas fireplace! Just past the great room is a four season porch, which has its own heating source and can stay warm in the winter months. The four season porch also includes a new pull-out couch with a queen size gel foam mattress.

There is a large deck with four new Adirondack chairs as well as a dining table and chairs providing a relaxing space for guests to unwind after a day exploring the North Shore. Here you will also find a gas grill. Just past the deck is a firepit for the group to enjoy.

Bedrooms include the following:
Master bedroom on the main floor. It has a king bed and en suite bathroom, which includes a jetted soaking tub.

Two bedrooms on the second floor and each have queen beds. There is also a shared full bathroom on the second floor.

Just outside the second floor bedrooms is a loft, which includes a pull-out couch with a queen size gel foam mattress. The mattress also includes a pillow-top mattress cover.

For those traveling with children, we have worked to make the cabin kid friendly. We have two pack 'n plays, a high chair, kid friendly tableware and flatware, night lights, and a number of games.

A twin inflatable mattress is also available for guest use.

The cabin has one exterior camera mounted on the garage and is pointed towards the driveway.

Winter Bookings: The driveway is on an incline and we strongly recommend a 4WD or AWD vehicle during the winter months. While snowmobile trailers are allowed, please note the driveway does not have room to turn around a trailer. Please also note the homeowners association does not allow for trailer parking on the road.

Beautiful, cozy cabin and just down the road from the ski hill! We had 7 adults and there was more than enough space for all of us. Perfect place to stay if you're looking to spend a weekend on the slopes!

Lutsen Summer Vacation

My family has vacationed in the Lutsen area for over 30 years, and the VRBO was in a perfect location for all the activities we've enjoyed over the years. The cabin was everything we expected. Would definitely stay again.

Great place for friends to gather

We were up with a group of friends. We enjoyed hiking many trails during the day. Loved having a place to come back to and make dinner. We loved sitting around the fire in the evening and gazing up at all the stars. Wonderful weather and a great experience. This was our second time and we plan on coming back again.

Annual women's adventure retreat with friends

We typically gather once a year for a nordic skiing adventure. With the lack of snow this year, Lutsen was a perfect location.....some of us went alpine skiing, we all went hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail. This lovely home was perfect for relaxing, making meals together and reconnecting.

Nice Lutsen Property

The home is well cared for and well equipped. Communication with the owners was very good. The house very comfortably sleeps six adults. The kitchen and common areas are great for entertaining. The game selection is excellent. We would definitely recommend for a weekend trip to the North Shore.

Great place in a great location.

We and our adult kids stayed for five days in February. We enjoyed skiing at Lutsen, Nordic skiing at Onion River trails, snowmobiled the many awesome trails, and a little hiking. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils that allowed us to have breakfast and dinner at the cabin. (lunch on the slopes and trails). Nice beds and bedrooms had plenty of storage for suitcases, etc. Enjoyed wine tasting at the North Shore Winery.

Girlfriend Weekend

An absolutely perfect property. The home was so clean, everything properly labeled and explained. Perfect location to Grand Marais. Beds were very comfortable, furniture as well, lots of games and provided a well thought out book of expectations and things to do. Only suggestion, since we are all in our sixties, we found showers slippery. Perhaps maybe something out on bottom to make it less slippery.

Fantastic

We stayed at Fairway Pines Lodge for 10 days and have made another reservation to stay again. The location just off Ski Hill Rd. and on Superior National Golf Course is fantastic. The home is equipped with quality kitchen items and the water is great for drinking (not always the case with homes on the North Shore). The porch is lovely for warm, breezy days. The owners are responsive and kind. It's easy to get comfortable here. Highly recommend.

Great location for skiing!

We very much enjoyed our time. Main living area was good for what we needed. Enjoyed the fireplace. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen. Very clean. Could use more lighting in the kitchen. And new fry pans. Screen porch sleeping is a little cold in the winter, but plenty of extra blankets provided as well as space heaters. I would recommend this home if you’re looking for a spacious home for a ski group up to 8 people. We had a great time. Hosts were easy to work with.
