Our North Shore Retreat located on the Poplar Ridge of Lutsen Resort, located on Lutsen Resort just 4 hours from the Twin Cities, sits at the base of Moose Mountain, in Minnesota's largest ski in - ski out luxury resort. Our home is not just a winter wonderland of skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and any other winter activity you can imagine. Fall brings a blaze of color up the mountain, and all along the north shore.

Come in the spring and summer to enjoy miles of biking, and hiking trails, or the 27 hole Superior National Golf Course, just next door, offers spectacular views of Lake Superior. You may want to fish inland lakes, or charter a boat for fishing Lake Superior. And of course, hunt for agates along the shores of 'The Big Lake'. Not to be forgotten is the famous Alpine Slide, and Superior Hiking Trail, just a walk up the road.

At any season, a ride to the top of Moose Mountain via the Gondola to have lunch, and view Lake Superior and the surrounding forest is a must see! Guests enjoy all the resort amenities, such as indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, and restaurant & lounge.

The area offers many unique shops, art galleries, antique dealers, and restaurants from fine dining to the casual family style pizza pallor. Or spend the day at one of the several State Parks, hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, or strolling the shore's of Lake Superior.

2024 Lutsen Trip
This was our 4th annual Lutsen trip with our family and very best friends! Jereme was a great host/communicator from the very start which made our trip that much easier. The house was just as expected, with a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room for our large group! We can’t wait to return in 2025!

A Minnesota North Shore Delight
It was a great place for my family to gather from different locations to celebrate the Christmas Holidays. The only disappointment was the weather…… no snow, just rain and fog…..very unusual conditions for this time of year. We made the best of it though! The backdrop of Lake Superior never disappoints!

About the host

Hosted by Jereme & Sara VonBargen

Host profile image
Jereme and Sara met as freshman while attending St. Cloud State University where we later graduated from. Jereme is a Veteran of the Marine Corps and grew up in South Minneapolis. Sara is a native of St. Cloud Minnesota. We currently live in Cottage Grove MN with our 2 daughters Callie (11) and Lilly (14).

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the North Shore together for about 15 years and have been looking for a place to buy for about the last 10 years. Our daughters have come to know and love the North Shore too, so when we stumbled across this place, we had to make our dream happen! We love the sounds of the trees & the Poplar River rushing behind the house, the view of Moose Mountain, the ski in / ski out capability, and the close proximity to Lutsen's amenities. We love hiking Cascade & Temperance State Parks, everything about Grand Marais, and playing on the rocks at Cutface Creek. We look forward to many more years on the North Shore, and hope that our guests enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

5 bedrooms, 7 beds, 4 bathrooms, and the capability to sleep up to 14 in beds. There are only a few houses on the mountain that can boast this capability. It has ski in / ski out capability, and the close proximity to Lutsen's amenities (hot tub, pool, workout area, and restaurants). Just a few miles Cascade & Temperance State Parks, and 20 miles from Grand Marais.
