Escape To Our Iconic North Shore Resort - Unforgettable Since 1885

On the shoreline of Lutsen, Minnesota, where the Poplar River meets Lake Superior, you’ll find a secluded, private cove that is home to one of the state’s most iconic and historic resorts. Overlooking a large pebble beach and framed by charming bridges and Scandinavian architecture, Lutsen Resort on Lake Superior infuses the classic North Shore resort experience with modern comfort. From couple’s escapes to family vacations and girlfriend getaways, our diverse array of accommodations can host groups of any size.

Think wave watching, swimming, fishing, kayaking, hiking and more when the weather’s warm. And ice skating, skiing, snowshoeing and just about every other Minnesota winter pastime that comes to mind. Of course, a romantic dinner in our casually elegant Strand Waterfront Dining Room and a glass of wine by the campfire might be all the excitement you’re looking for.

Due to high demand of lodging as well as a staffing shortage on the North Shore, we unfortunately cannot guarantee a 4PM check-in time. If you have any questions about your arrival or stay please don’t hesitate to contact us.
