Lovely Stay on Lake Superior

This property was perfect for our family of four. The house is roomy, bright and spotlessly clean. The views are stunning, and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owner was very responsive and everything about our visit was easy and smooth. We hope to return and highly recommend to others!

Great views, cozy, and clean

The property was exactly as advertised. It has great views of the lake. We loved the cleanliness and the uncluttered decor. It was well stocked and everything was easy to find. Loved the gas fireplace on the lower floor for warming up after being outside. Would visit again.

Amazing stay

My husband and I stayed here for two nights with our two children, 6 and 8 years old, and our dog. The rental was very clean and the view was amazing! The stairs to the beach are a short walk away and the kids loved looking for rocks. I cant think of anything I would change or add. I would definitely stay here again.

One of the best places I’ve stayed on VRBO. Kitchen extremely well stocked, more than enough bathroom supplies, extra bedding for each pull out couch, beds super comfortable. Great location with superb views of the lake. Without a doubt would stay again if in area. Thanks so much for a great family get together spot!!!

Gorgeous view and very comfortable!

From start to finish, the host's communication was outstanding, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. The home was incredibly well organized and immaculately clean. Waking up to the sunrise over Lake Superior was a great way to start our day. The view is breath taking. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a hassle-free and comfortable vacation rental experience. I look forward to booking with this host again in the future.

Thanksgiving getaway!

The pictures in the reservation do not do this place justice. It is much larger than I was expecting which was a great surprise. The owner communicates with his clients extremely well and is quick to address any questions. Again, this is a lovely home and a great place for a quick getaway seated next to Lake Superior.

So much room! Very clean, amazing view

This unit was actually larger than the photos made it seem! Lots of places to gather as a group of 5 adults, or to retreat to a quiet corner to read. The 2 bedrooms also have writing desks, paper & pens, and many outlets for charging - such a nice amenity if you have to sit at your laptop during vacation! Kitchen is well-stocked and there were lots of extra towels, body wash, shampoo and TP in the bathrooms. The balcony is very tiny, but there are benches all over the property to sit and gaze at the lake. Our dog adored sitting on the balcony; it was enclosed with glass which is nice if you have young ones or canines along. We were impressed with how clean the unit was when we arrived, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. They labeled the light switches and ceiling fans - that's worth 5 stars right there! Great place; don't hesitate to reserve. We hope to rent again next year!

Great time with family! Beautiful views, very clean and welcoming.

We stayed here in June 2023 and the location was wonderful! So many windows, and the balcony to see Lake Superior! The place is right on Lake Superior with beautiful views from all levels. It has a number of different sleeping areas so our family (5 adults) could spread out. The lower level was great for my son and his girlfriend with their dog, easy to take their dog outside. There is enough space at the kitchen table to play board games or cards. The owner has little notes around the house to explain how the lights and fans work. The shower was hot and lovely! I appreciated the scent spray in each bathroom. The house was very clean, with excellent closet space for a longer stay. The screen door needed a little tape to help keep mosquitos out, and I suggested providing more padding for the pull out sofa bed in the lower level. Also I suggest you check with the owner about the stairs being available to access the lake during your stay. Lake Superior has a mind of her own, so water levels on the shore can change. If the stairs aren't available you can experience the lake from the rocks/cliff area. I highly recommend this spot, and would come back for sure!

A great place to stay on the North Shore of Minnesota.

This is high quality condominium space with an excellent view of Lake Superior. The space has all the amenities that you need for an enjoyable vacation. It is a few miles away from the beautiful town of Lutsen and the Superior National Golf Course.

About the host

Hosted by Stille Vacations

Host profile image
We are a duo of husband and wife that absolutely love to travel. Our two girls are also now catching the travel bug and we have for some time now thought of owning a few short-term rental properties at our favorite destinations.

Finally in 2022, we realized our dreams and bought our first vacation rental followed by a second one in 2024 on the north shore of Minnesota and right on the Great Lake Superior. This has been a family destination for us and our 2 girls for some time now and we want to share this with the rest of the world. As we continue our journey, we are looking to add more properties from our favorite destinations for all of you and your friend / family to enjoy.

We hope to see you in one of our properties soon !!!
