Good location

This property was very good for my family and I to visit Lutsen on a ski trip. The one thing I would point out to potential visitors is that Lutsen Mountain does not have very many green or Easy ski slopes so if you are a beginner skier there may be Better choices elsewhere

This is a lovely well-stocked condo with gorgeous views of Moose mountain. The owner is highly responsive and when we had a minor issue they replied immediately and were very helpful. The loft space worked perfectly for kids. This was our second time staying here and we will be back!

Ski Vacation

Our experience staying here was fantastic. The accommodations were even better than advertised. The beds were very comfortable, towels were thick and soft and there were more than enough utensils/pots/pans to be able to cook our own meals when we chose to. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. The kids loved the pool, hot tub and even the skating rink after skiing all day. Thank you for creating such a great space for our family to make memories!

Great Condo!

My husband, daughter and I came to the condo for a ski/snowboarding trip. Everything was perfect! The condo is exactly as pictured online with plenty of room for us, and had everything we needed. The ski in/ski out was perfect for taking breaks and the lockers on the bottom floor made it so we didn’t have to bring our skis and board into the condo. The on-site restaurant was good, we ate there several times. Owners were very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Great condo experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was extremely clean, comfortable, and the perfect size for four people. There were lots of amenities at Caribou Highlands: pool, hot tub, ice skating rink, bocce ball, ladder golf, outdoor fire pits, ski locker, and firewood. It was right on Lutsen Mountain which made it very convenient to go skiing. The owners answered any questions I had within two minutes and were able to offer us an early check in AND a late check out. I would highly recommend this place!

Perfect Spot

The property is modern and well kept. Perfect location for our young family to enjoy the pools and overlook the beautiful Lutsen ski area.

Family MEA Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Shayla and Garrett's property for MEA weekend with the only real downside being the weather as it rained half the time during the long weekend resulting in more indoor time versus enjoying the outside and North Shore. Our family consisted of 5, two adults and three nine and under. The property had all the amenities we needed including a heated outdoor pool that the kids got a "kick" out of as we went swimming in the rain and cold. We are frequent travelers to the North Shore and were lucky to find this property during MEA weekend as it met all the requirements we look for in a property for our family. This property is part of Caribou Highlands which we have stayed at before in a different unit but we liked the location of this unit much better as it was close to the pool and main lodge. If traveling to Lutsen in the future we'd look to stay in this unit again, hopefully the weather would be better but we'd recommend it to others. Thank you.

Fun place to stay. Great location. Plenty of activities to entertain any age group. The view was amazing each morning. The yard games, swimming and bon fire were a great way end each day.
