Nice ski in/out!

The pros: The place was very nice and clean. Having private entry made having dogs with us so easy! The wood outside in the parking area was perfect and dry and made having a fire daily a treat. Beds SUPER comfortable, so big win there! Suggestions are tied to communication: The condo is not close to the main lodge, at least not to walk, so if you want to enjoy the pool/hot tub area, you really need to drive and park in front of the restaurant, then walk over. If you haven't been here before, a simple map to that amenity area isn't that simple so I'd recommend some more detail on this in the unit as it was hard to find. The place is also advertised as ski in/out, and it is, but it took a day of skiing and exploring to really figure that out. Once you know, it's pretty simple but we didn't see any instruction on that in the unit either so we just figured that out. Behind the unit, you can ski down to the a base lift that takes you up to the gondola-serviced mountain. At the end of the day, you get back to the unit on a trail that runs from a different mountain, so instructions on this would be really helpful for anyone that hasn't skied here before. Also, the internet for the community worked but the TV itself was linked to a unit wifi network that wasn't listed as an option for us to connect to. TV worked but we were unable to stream because we couldn't connect. Told Mgr and they acknowledged but never figured out for us during the visit.

Lutsen Basecamp

The property matched expectations from the listing. We really enjoyed using the pool for the kids. Those shared amenities give it a leg up over a non-resort vacation rental.

Great for our family of 5

Not huge but a good size townhome for our family. Everything we needed in the kitchen, table to eat around, living room space to hang out (in air conditioning) after a full day outside hiking and exploring. We also enjoyed access to the pools and loved that our little dog could stay with us. Beds were comfy and the place had nice modern updates. Nice location.

Great location

Our family (2 adults 2 preteens) stayed here to explore the north shore over a long summer weekend. It was a great location. The community amenities are great - kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub and we liked Moguls for a convenient dinner. Fika was great for coffee and North Shore Winery made for a great date afternoon. The townhouse itself is cozy. It was fine for our group but could get tight with 4+ adults.

Great ski house for family!

We booked this townhome for a ski weekend with our 3 kids. It was perfect! Enough beds for all, kitchen had almost everything we needed (no dishwasher soap, but we washed by hand and could use the dishwasher for drying rack). There's a small landing in the downstairs where we could put all our ski gear and the ski locker outside was a safe space for our skis, poles, etc. Fun games and puzzles. Several TVs for when the kids were too tired to agree on a movie after a long day of skiing. Access to the hot tub and pool was within walking distance. And there's nothing better than being able to ski back for lunch and then being able to get right back out again. Thanks for a great stay! We will be back.

Great weekend!

We all agreed that having a ski in/ski out is great! It slows for the skiers to ski as long as they want, come back and eat and then quickly head out again. The place was week stocked (although we couldn’t find a cutting board) and there was plenty of room for our party of 5. I would definitely rent here again!

Great for family with teens!

The set up of the home was awesome for our family with two teenage boys who were able to have the down stairs to themselves while my husband and I could enjoy the upstairs. It was also so nice that it was pet friendly and we brought our two small dogs along. Melissa was awesome and very helpful when I had a question. Would highly recommend!

Just what we needed

We loved our stay here. It had everything we needed, clean, and very cute! My only qualm was I ended up sleeping on the pullout couch with a kiddo 2 of the 3 nights. It wasn’t horrible, but I wouldn’t recommend for an adult over 25 to sleep on :)

Cozy…and classy!

My family and I booked this property due to its immediate access to Lutsen Mountains’ ski slopes. We were pleasantly surprised to find a cozy…and classy two bedroom condo with ski in/ski out access. I have found in the past that rentals may be furnished with yard sale furniture, hand-me-down decor, and spare dishes. That is not the case with this Caribou Highlands condo. The unit is tastefully decorated and comprehensively outfitted. This set a great vibe for our stay. There was ample space for our kids in the downstairs bedroom while my wife and I enjoyed the peace and quiet of being two floors up in our loft. After skiing we took advantage of the pool and hot tub at the main building. A great mix of being close to all the fun, but quiet and relaxing. Our hosts John and Marissa focused on being welcoming and available while providing us space to enjoy our time. Classy condo…classy hosts. We highly recommend this rental and it’s hosts for your next trip to Lutsen.
