Property Description

Blue House was originally built for a family who grew up here in Lutsen, Minnesota on Ski Hill Road. Purchased and renovated in 2017, it is now available to rent year-round for families and friends who love the North Shore. From a premium chef's kitchen to the large open game room, this home has it all! Located just off Ski Hill Road and within walking distance to Lutsen Mountains Ski Resort. The Blue House is a year-round destination, perfect for your family's next trip to Lake Superior's North Shore.

The house provides everything needed to enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. There is an expansive deck, a gazebo, and a large gas grill. Below the deck is a fire pit. 2 wood-burning fireplaces inside plus an expansive wall of windows facing Moose Mountain, a ping pong table, a foosball table, a craft table, and a closet full of games give many options while relaxing at home. Each area of the home allows for both privacy or groups of people to gather.

The timber frame game room is separate from the living room. There are 3 bedrooms plus an office with a West Elm pull-out queen-sized bed. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make meals; the dining room table seats 12. Almost every room has a view of Lake Superior. There are a coffee grinder and a DeLonghi espresso machine for your use. The addition of Blue 2 (seasonal) means there's even more room to roam on this large property. Blue 2 features a sitting area where the sofa turns into a queen-sized bed, TV, heat, and air conditioning so it can be used year-round.

Area Information
As far as location goes, The Blue House is so close to Lutsen Mountains Ski Area that you can walk there. For the downhill skier/snowboarder, it is perfectly situated on Eagle Mountain where a 2-minute walk puts you right on Bridge Run. For the nonskier, this house is still close to everything—just minutes from the Superior Hiking Trail, a short walk brings you right to the heart of Lutsen Mountain Ski Resort; a short drive down Ski Hill Road brings you to the heart of Lutsen Resort on Lake Superior. And that’s just the beginning.

Enjoy the vibrant nightlife at Papa Charlie's and Mogul's restaurants with live music year-round. During the summer months, you have easy access to the Alpine Slide, sight-seeing gondola, and miles and miles of hiking trails. Should you get the urge to venture out from the immediate area, you will find you are a short drive away from many North Shore destinations. Lutsen Resort, with two restaurants and a spa, is just a mile down Ski Hill Road. Within a 20 mile drive, you will find waterfalls, scenic overlooks, historical markers, and the quaint town of Lutsen. Just 30 miles away is Grand Marais, great for a day of shopping and dining in wonderful ma and pa stores and restaurants. The North Shore has a lot to offer and The Blue House is right in the middle of the action.

So whether you are coming up for a ski trip with friends, or a summertime vacation with the whole family, the Blue House is a destination to consider. This home is our premium luxury home so we ask that you treat it well while taking time to appreciate the magnificent mountain-top views of Lake Superior.

NOTE: The hot tub is not available to renters for insurance reasons.

NOTE:  Also, due to COVID-19 and outside contractor labor and materials supply issues the job was not completed in the spring as planned and will have to wait until the property is open in the fall. However, the work being done will not impact the use/enjoyment of the home. Some walls and windows have unfinished trim and drywall work done. You can see our Facebook Live video on the new exterior and some of the unfinished work on our Facebook Page.
