Clara Lake Resort - In Lutsen, MN

I have stayed here before & I’d be more than happy to stay again. This place is a gem in the north woods.

We loved our long weekend in Lutsen at this beautiful home! It was perfect for our group size of six adults and eight kids. We had to do some shoveling to access the garage spaces, but that is to be expected in the wintertime at a house that is fairly remote to access. One note: the sauna and firepit require extra fees to use (125 and 50, respectively). I asked about use of the sauna for free because I had not seen that fee before booking, only after, and Liv kindly allowed us to do so. I appreciate their hospitality and attention to my messages!

Overall very good. Everything is very dated in the house and the basement furniture needs to be replaced, but the house was clean and things appear to be well maintained. It is just an older home that is showing its age. The location is awesome if you are looking for a secluded place. We walked the private road a couple of times, which is a beautiful walk, and only saw two other people the entire stay.

Gorgeous comfortable home on beautiful lakeside property. Easy access to skiing and other winter activities.

All the different programmable thermostats were confusing. Some rooms were hot others cold. There was a firepit we didn't use, but there were no chairs to sit around it if we did. The sauna was great. Dock was very unstable especially in the wind and the swimming ladder is missing rungs. Highly recommend for a family getaway. Lutsen close for golf, sight-seeing and the kids favorite the Alpine Slide!

Quiet, relaxing, and great family time on the lake. The sauna was a neat addition.

We chose these property due to its size and location to Lutsen Mountain. We loved the spaciousness of the house.

Property was beautiful. Close to Lutsen mountain and can sleep quite a few people.

I have stayed at this VRBO on a couple occasions. The accommodations are awesome! There’s a large well maintained kitchen, stocked with all appliances you could need. The beds are comfortable and the views of the lake from the living room are stunning. There’s nothing better to come home to after a long day of skiing. The host Bryn is very responsive. I hope to come back soon.

Went up for a new years stay with several other couples. Plenty of space for everyone to have their own room and space as needed, with great common areas for hanging out. The property and space were beautiful.

We were very happy with our vacation home. It was beautiful, spacious, and well stocked with cooking utensils, pans, spices, and a few food items. We could have used more dish cloths and dish towels. It would have been helpful if the entrance to the house/garage would have been sanded. Walking back and forth to the cars/garbage was treacherous with all the ice on the ground. I would highly recommend this lovely vacation home on Claire Lake.

Clara Lake Resort has it all! It is equipped with everything you could need to have a relaxing fun filled vacation. It is a trip me and my friends look forward to every year.

We had a wonderful time and would love to come back. Thanks!

We had a great stay at this home and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, silverware, and glassware. After figuring out the oven (it was a little tricky and hard to see what was the upper and lower oven), it worked great. Unfortunately, the dishwasher and microwave were not useable during our stay and notified the owner right away--in which he was unaware. The sauna heats very well and was an awesome way to end our day after long hikes and exploration. This is a very private property and the neighbors do not like noise (we were initially blamed for shooting off fireworks that we did not do)--so any outdoor activity should be done with caution to this. The beds were very comfortable including the pull out couch in the master. Fitted sheet were provided but not a cover sheet--blankets were provided as well. Our only complaint we had was that we are very deep cleaners and the shower had black build up in the corners in the master bath, the washer was not usable because it was a sweedish-made/old washer that we could not figure out how to open, and the stove had build up stains on it. But of course, we were able to live with all of this because we were up in the area to hike/explore and didn't spend much time on the property itself except in the evenings. The basement door was not able to lock either, so we barricaded it when we left the property and notified the owner. Overall, we would consider this property again because of the space it offers.

We booked this property because of the location on a lake and boy was it awesome! Everything inside was beautiful and the host had everything we needed for cooking. It was excellent. during oir stay.

We had a fun time

Lovely setting on a quiet lake. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids ages 4 and 7 yrs. Three levels and lots of space. Good for bird watching. We paddled in kayaks and a canoe, swam and fished from the dock, played yard games, enjoyed saunas, and had a quiet, relaxing time on a beautiful lake in the north woods. And the cabin is fairly close to Lutsen, Grand Marais, and north shore hiking spots for day outings, which we always enjoy.

What a beautiful property!!! All we expected and more. Owner was responsive to a couple of small requests. Everything we needed was there and we had a great time. We have been to the North Shore annually for over 15 years and have stayed at several different properties. This one is by far the best.

This place is huge. It held our large crowd very comfortably. The view of the lake is stunning. Communication with the owner was great.

We had a fantastic time over 4th of July week. The sauna and lake combo cannot be beat!

The property was wonderful! Plenty of space for multiple families. The lake view was breathtaking. Many of our group enjoyed fishing and canoeing! We were able to enjoy the beauty of the area by taking taking in daily hikes. The beauty and vastness of Lake Superior was a sight to behold! Another great trip for our memory book!
