Big Cedar House: Quiet Trees, Golf, Winery, 1 mile to ski, Firepit. EV charger

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.

Very comfortable stay
Very spacious property. Clean with pretty much everything you would need. No washer/dryer though so keep that in mind if you plan to stay here for a while. Three floors, nice bathroom on each level, kitchens on two levels- so the ground floor level is self contained if you need it to be. Winery in walking distance so we that. Close to hiking and a short drive to grand Marais. The house is right between holes 4 and 5 on the golf course. The bedroom on the second floor has a skylight above the bed so great viewing of the stars. There is a fire pit- we did not use. Lots of windows and light with outdoor balconies, I would consider coming back, especially to golf or ski.

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.

Beautiful Home in the Woods
This property was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The pictures on this site simply don’t do it justice. Ben was great to work with. We did a very low key bachelorette party and the space was amazing! Plenty of room and beautiful location! We all said we would come back with families to stay here! Thank you!

Christmas at Lutsen
This VRBO provided ample space for our adult children and my husband and me. We cooked most meals in the well stocked kitchen and played games in the dining room while enjoying the beauty of fresh snow on trees. Great beds and linens and ample bathrooms made it so like home. We snow shoed, downhill skied, and visited the winery! Thank you so very much!

Lovely and unique private home in the trees! Perfect location!
We enjoyed this spacious new property located minutes from Lutsen, a short drive to Grand Marias and other north shore sites, and walking distance to a winery. Great communication with the owner! Very clean, well done. Lots of places to hang out as a group, along with quiet places to read or enjoy inside and out. Love the balconies on each floor! Having 3 bathrooms and 2 kitchen spaces was great.

Great place in the Northshore
It was very clean and had lots of room for the 8 of us. The property owner was easy to get a hold of and answered all of our questions right away. There were only two negatives. One, there was no central air and it got very warm even with the ceiling fans on and the windows open. Second, there were no blinds or curtains on the top floor which made it hard to sleep once the sun came up. Overall though, we would definitely stay here again!

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.

Over all we enjoyed the property. We were disappointed that the fire pit was a ways from the house and there were so many weeds around the deck and along the path to the pit. We were worried about the bugs since it was so many tall weeds and brush. It should be cleaned out more. But the house was fine.

North Minnesota summer trip
We have been to Lutsen several times for skiing, and this is our first time in the summer. We absolutely loved it. The house is spacious, with plenty of space for 3 families to have a comfortable stay. The kitchen has all the utensils. We did hikes in Lutsen mountains, Cascade river state park, explored Toffee and Grand Marais, watched July 4th fireworks, enjoyed the view of Lake Superior and searched for agates along the shore. Would love to come back there again.
