About this property

The Light Lake House located in the North Woods

  • Snuggled on the shore of Caribou lake, this home is surrounded by water on two sides with over 500 ft. of lakeshore. The house combines stunning Scandinavian design with cozy touches to make you feel at home in the woods. The property features a detached sauna house, dock, canoe, kayak, deck, screen porch, and a long sweeping driveway. Located in Lutsen, MN- a short drive from the ski hill and 20 minutes from Grand Marais. The house has heated floors, vaulted ceilings, and sweeping window views from all sides.

    This home has comfortable beds and three walk-in showers. It features natural stone, and North woods art from local artists, along with soaring hand-finished columns of cedar, fir, and pine that make the house feel like part of the forest. The floor to ceiling windows (over 75 in all) bring the outside in and showcase the natural beauty of the North Shore. We share the spot with a playful fox, a pair of loons, and other wonderful species of native wildlife. In the summer, the property is scattered with wildflowers and lupine as well as raspberries, blueberries, and thimble berries. We are located on a bend in the lake: paddle left to tour the quiet bay, cattails, and a beaver dam; right will take you out to the largest portions of Caribou lake. A perfect escape for a weekend away or a special occasion.

    Lutsen has been our paradise our whole lives. We are so excited to share it with you!

Absolutely spectacular property and such a wonderful experience. Ann and Cheryl are the warmest, most helpful and most responsive hosts we've ever encountered. The property is gorgeous and immaculately maintained, and perfect for a family or friends getaway trip to the North Shore. We enjoyed a day skiing at Lutsen and a day in Grand Marais, and spent the evenings cooking and hanging out. The sauna was so relaxing after a day of skiing; we actually enjoyed it every night. Would love to come back in the summertime and have a campfire down by the lake. Truly a fantastic place.

A slice of heaven!

We thoroughly enjoyed our annual trip to the North Shore and week-long stay at the Light Lake House. We love the location and privacy on Lake Caribou, the cozy accommodations, and proximity to local venues for winter activities. It never disappoints!

Home was phenomenal! Had everything we needed for a relaxing week stay with the family. The northern woods setting is just beautiful. We were excited from the moment we drove up. Six people (all adults) and two dogs fit perfectly. We had everything available to prepare meals in the very well equipped kitchen. Lots of winter activities to keep us busy with skiing, snowmobiling and Nordic ice skating. Hosts were amazingly gracious and helpful with anything we needed. We hope to come back in the summertime to enjoy the lake and summer activities. Felt like home away from home. Made it very hard to leave. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Loved the light filled cottage !

Our family could not have found a more lovely, peaceful lake home to spend time together . From the moment we walked in we were blown away by the beautiful, clean, sunny spaces filled with so much attention to detail. We had everything we needed and more to cook our meals together, sauna daily , play games, enjoy the trees and lake views , canoe , swim, sauna and simply be together in our favorite Lutsen area of the Northshore. It was so convenient to our visit to Grand Marais, local winery and bike path for runs. The screen porch was a hit with our grandchild and each night we read books out there together . Cheryl & Ann were amazing with communication and so kind . We so appreciate them sharing their home with us. We will be back! David, Lee Anne & family

Family Stay at Light Lake House

A quiet and serene stay was made wonderful by this unique house. Views of the outdoors, trees and lake from every room. Wonderfully restored/updated house that was fully equipped in the kitchen and bathrooms. House was immaculately clean. Great communication with our hosts about our stay. This house was easily the nicest VRBO we have stayed in and we hope to return.

Peaceful, location on beautiful lake. House and location was as described. Hosts were extremely great and easy to communicate with. Canoes and Kayaks were located near dock and easy to launch and fun to paddle around the quiet lake. Caught a bass off the dock after watching a nice sunrise over the glass-like lake. Location is great for quick access to Lutsen resort, Grand Marais, and hiking all over. House provided all the needs, nice fireplace ar night.

Perfect northern Minnesota vacation

This was our third time staying at this property, and once again, it was perfect! Beautiful home in an idyllic setting. The home is spacious and updated. Kitchen is stocked with anything you could need. The sauna felt wonderful after coming back from snowshoeing. We loved it!
