What's special
Authentic Rocky Mountain Log Home in Lutsen with sweeping views of Caribou Lake. Be the fortunate third owner of custom cut logs, grown in the forests of Montana and carefully assembled to create a Lutsen Northwoods’ experience of tranquility and inspiration. Tall pines surround the home which is nestled alongside a grove of majestic cedars. All care was taken to site the home optimally for privacy and the View! Wait to you see it and revel in how it changes, especially seasonally – Fall colors that are always beyond spectacular! Within walking distance to Superior Hiking Trail and near numerous lakes for canoeing/kayaking or fishing. Lutsen Mts and XC skiing nearby. As is Superior National Golf Course. The current owners enjoyed the cabin for several years in its original simplicity. That was fun for a while, until more comfort was desired and a dream manifested of creating an inspired space. 2014 – 2015 a major renovation and remodel occurred. A well was drilled, a septic system added, a top notch off-peak heating system was installed. Local craftsman, experts in log homes, carried out the owner’s vision – to the interior and exterior. The result is elegant finish materials in a Northwoods setting – a gem surrounded by wilderness. Practical considerations were addressed, too. To ensure proper insulation, all windows and both skylights were replaced, a new roof was installed with a layer of high-density foam insulation. Walking into the main part of the cabin notice the original vaulted beamed ceilings and a totally new kitchen with ample custom-made cabinets and large granite countertop for meal prep and casual gatherings, plenty of room for seating. Easy cooking with an induction range, under counter microwave and stainless refrigerator. Hickory floors extend from the kitchen throughout the main living areas of the cabin, tiled floors with in-floor heat are in the bathrooms and entryway. Tucked away is the owner’s suite: bedroom, walk in closet, and large bathroom including a custom tile shower, an over/under washer dryer, dual sinks, custom-built cabinets and granite counters. Murphy bed for additional sleeping space. (Automated divider-shades to provide sleeping privacy for guests.) Above is a lofted bonus space for kids to play or sleep. Sprawling deck along the entire length of the cabin. Thoughtful landscaping along the forest boundary. Nothing to do, but show up, unpack and live in the cool, purity of Northern Minnesota.
