About this property

the home is on the golf course 1 mile from the ski area in a quiet neighborhood. If you are looking for some R&R welcome home!

Each level (3 levels with 3 bathrooms/showers) of this 2600 SF newly built home has a covered porch facing the sunset colors peeking through the cedars. A perfect spot to breathe deep, let your shoulders relax, and uncork a bottle from the neighboring winery. With 2 kitchens and multiple living areas the house works well for groups wanting extra space.

Nestled on a 27 hole golf course, Big Cedar House is blessed with a prime location! With views of the ski area and Lake Superior, guests can cozy up with a book or take a short walk to the winery. The home sits on a foundation that rolls into an old growth ring of cedar trees. There you will find a peaceful and quiet firepit. This ring of cedar trees captured the hearts of the owners. The lot is unique in that with the encompassing foliage you would never guess you were on a golf course until you hear the occasional “ting” of a golf club or the cheer of a good shot. Otherwise it is a quiet forest with chipmunks and squirrels going about their day to day.

Big Cedar House is a versatile structure with 2600 sf and 3 stories. Each level has sleeping arrangements with cozy blankets, comfy pillows, and a clean bathroom. Each level of this newly (2019/2020) built home has a covered porch facing the cedar trees for sunset colors peeking through the pines. A perfect spot to breathe deep, let your shoulders relax, and uncork a bottle from the local winery.

Great secluded home in the woods

Owners quick on replying. Home is in a great location and would accommodate 3 families as each level has its own sleeping and sitting areas and bathroom and only attic level doesn’t have kitchen area.

Great house and location

This property is exactly what our group of eight skiers/snowboarders needed; plenty of beds to sleep in, multiple spaces to hang out, and three bathrooms. The house had a variety of board games, including our favorite - Catchphrase (we forgot to bring ours so we were thankful to be forgiven for our mistake). 2nd floor dining table was large enough for our group to play cards/games. Dishwasher made cleanup easy. Beds/pillows were comfortable, even the trundle beds. Kitchen was stocked with utensils/supplies. We did not use the fire pit, as the area was covered with snow. However, the relative seclusion was nice, and the location about a mile below the ski hill was great. Everyone in our group was more than satisfied; even one person said upon first inspection "This place is better than the pictures!" We would recommend this property to other large groups.

About the host

Hosted by Ben

Big Cedar House was built by Kelly and Ben Suchy. It was built with mid-west blue collar work ethic. These are not wealthy owners lol. Kelly is a 3rd grade teacher and Ben is a musician and entrepreneur. They had a good team of friends and family during the build and a lot of guidance from the Corliss family at the winery.

Ben would bring the kids to the Bismarck YMCA for "kid watch" and have 2 hours to help organize the build. He would also take about 20 trips up from Bismarck to jump on the crew or haul material while Kelly stayed back with the kids. Max Wahlers was the main builder and Ben and his friends stained siding (old MN line posts!) sealed concrete floors, sheetrocked and tiled bathrooms, and a laundry list of other jobs!

Why they chose this property

Ben and Kelly came up to Lutsen for the bike race and fell in love with the area. Ben had a gig singing at the local winery the day after the race and they found out a lot was available. They ended up planning a trip up in the following weeks and bought the lot.
