The Northern Comfort was just as described, if not better! We visited the area for skiing with our 11 and 13 year olds. This property is in a great location, has everything you need to cook a meal, incredibly clean and has a great layout. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location. Easy access to highway 61. Close to hiking. The fall color was outstanding - perfect timing! Easy drive to Gondola in Lutsen and Grand Marais.

Great place to stay for us and kids and grandkids. But once we started using it and cooking, we realized that it needs a good overall cleaning and several repairs. Kitchen cabinets (especially lazy Susan’s) full of crumbs, dishwasher wasn’t unloaded and is hard to pull racks in and out and doesn’t get dishes very clean, dead bugs found on kitchen window sills, bath towels are rough and need to be replaced, Teflon Skillets need to be replaced, one side of large toaster doesn’t work, light on microwave doesn’t work and screen door in basement needs to be repaired. Also floor board by couch on main level opposite of one by window, is loose.

Our group of four ‘over-60’ siblings had a lovely 4 night stay at Northern Comfort. The home is spacious and well-equipped. Loved the large expanses of glass, the covered porch and the fire pit areas. We could see a bit of Caribou Lake even though the trees were in full leaf. We liked the location in quiet woods, yet still easy to get to Lutsen and Grand Marais. This would be a good house for an all-ages group too with plenty of room and several sitting areas.

Perfect place to stay for our end of August get away. Our family met another family there and it was a great place with plenty of room for us and the kids. Loved the movies and kids area for them. I thought it was odd we never heard from owner after check in but no issues so that was fine. Dish washer was full and clean upon check in which wasnt ideal. Towels could use an upgrade. Overall great home and area. Would love to stay again sometime.

This is our 2nd year staying here. We absolutely love it. We’ve been coming up to Lutsen for years and this is by far our favorite place. We’ll be back next year. Thank you!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Northern Comfort. The cabin and property were beautiful, and our family group of 9 had an amazing time. We appreciated how well the cabin was outfitted with linens and kitchen necessities. The property was extremely clean and comfortable. Area of possible improvement: put up shades/blinds on all windows (especially in the loft)- it was difficult to utilize this space as a sleeping area for the young kids with the west-facing windows and late sunset/early sunrise.

We stayed in this gorgeous home with our adult kids and their partners. The pictures posted do not even begin to show the beauty of this place! There was more than enough space for 6 adults, and the location is perfect. We hiked on the superior hiking trail (just a half mile down the road), spent time in Grand Marais, and went to many state parks. Thank you Northern Comfort for a lovely stay!

This house was perfect for our group of 10. We had ages 8-68. The pictures and description are very accurate. Well equipped kitchen. It’s located back in the woods, the view of the lake is there but somewhat obscured by the trees.
The only thing that could improve this home is if they had another bed, either in the loft or the master bedroom, instead of an air mattress for 2 people.
Overall, awesome place. Awesome hosts- very responsive to messages and questions.
Would definitely stay here again!

This property was our base for checking out the waterfalls, trails and all that is a part of Superior's North Shore. Great location, great cabin/house, a super stay for our family.

The cabin was great for our large reunion! It accommodated all needs, the Wii and foosball were a hit. Very clean, well stocked. Great layout. We normally stay on lake superior so this was our first time inland. Temps by the big lake were cool (50s/60s). Warmer at the cabin but since we were in the deep woods, so many mosquitos. Not something the owners can control, but was something we didn't expect. We were unable to go outside at the cabin which was ok since the inside was so lovely.
Tip - get the entry code before you drive up, no service at the cabin. I had to drive back into town and connect to wifi to get the code.

This home was ideal for a group of 6 adults and 1 teenager. Our teen loved having the lofted area to himself. The primary bedroom was spacious for the grandparents with limited mobility. The two bedrooms downstairs were adequate for the two adult couples but one bedroom only has twin beds. The rest of the house has lots of room for quiet solitude and offered room to be alone when needed. We never felt cramped. The kitchen and dining area were large enough to accommodate all 7 of us. The area around the house was neat and orderly with ample outdoor living space. There are neighbors but we may as well have been the only house in the woods as we rarely saw other cars or people. The location is remote enough for peace and quiet but there is plenty to do for the adventurous types with state parks all around. Grand Marais is close enough for easy access to shopping and tourism as well. We also appreciated that the house was dedicated to rental and we did not feel like we were living in someone's personal residence. We definitely recommend this place and look forward to another visit soon.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. We loved the floor plan and the surrounding woods. I especially loved the master suite and the kitchen. The grandchildren loved the three levels of the house for play. The side porch was a relaxing and peaceful place to listen to the birds. I would not hesitate to book Northern Comfort again.

I rented this cabin for a Lutsen ski trip in March and it was a perfect location. The view was to die for and the cabin was wonderful itself. Lots of space everywhere which fit our large group of 8 very well. Even with the 4 foot snowbanks the driveway still held 4 cars well. The cabin was well heated and seemed to have endless hot water even with us all showering in the evenings. Owners were super responsive and really helpful. I would totally recommend the place to anyone.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at this beautiful home. We were expecting more of my family to come, so had plenty of room for 3 adults and 3 kids. My only complaint would be the queen bed mattress could use some updating…. Otherwise the decor and home is beautiful in such a pretty area. We will definitely plan on staying here in the future should we ski or travel to Lutsen in the future.

The weekend was perfect! The colors were perfect! The house was perfect! We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the house celebrating my 70th birthday and hiking in BWCA, 7 miles there are back, to Eagle Mountain peak.

Incredible property!! My family and I enjoyed a beautiful weekend on the north shore with the fall colors. The kitchen and house was stocked with everything we needed, and the pictures matched the place perfectly. The firepit outside with firewood included was our favorite part. Would love to come back to this spot!

Pictures do not do this cabin justice, it is even nicer in person. Super clean and ample firewood provided. Kitchen has everything you need to cook/grill and beds are comfy. So many windows with great views and a nice breeze, private and quiet location.

The property was off the main road but very easy to get to. The home was beautiful and well maintained. Though we weren’t there during the day, it was a great place to come back to at the end of our hikes. We enjoyed the games and puzzles. The spice cupboard was plentiful and the condiments in the fridge were as well. It was so nice to have the crockpot options and all the other pots and pans too.

Beautiful peaceful property! GREAT place to turn off the sounds of the city and unwind.

This house is built on a hillside so the main and upper levels have a bird’s eye view of the surrounding forest. It’s like being in a beautiful, serene treehouse with an open view of the sunsets over Caribou Lake.
