Due to this Home being on a 40 foot cliff this is an adults only, no pet property.

This home is a rare find! From the moment you enter, your senses are overwhelmed by the natural beauty all around you. This retreat is situated on a 40 foot cliff view of Lake Superior and right on the Gitchi-Gami bike trail. Local folks call it 'the glass house' due to the large windows offering 180 degree views of Lake Superior.

Only 3 miles to Lutsen Mountains Ski Hill. Close enough to skiingto enjoy all the amenities yet far enough to be away from all the crowds for some quiet time. The exterior walls are 65% windows with views of the lake and woods. A 10 by 15 foot skylight washes the main room with light. The total effect is that you are inside but feel at one with nature.

In the Great Room is a full kitchen, two dining areas, a gas fireplace, and a wonderful couch area under the skylight. The windows, with an amazing view of the water, are framed with window seating. Under the window seats are many books sure to interest every reader, plus stereo and many dvds, puzzles & games for your whole group to play. The bedrooms, which are separated by the Great Room, have queen beds and private full bathrooms. The master bath has a whirlpool, over-sized, deep-soaking bathtub that overlooks the lake. The Great Room can accommodate 2 guests on a gel foam mattress sofa bed.

We have recently added portable air conditioning in the great room for the rare moments the North Shore is affected by global warming.

There are two patio areas, one with a fire pit. There is also a gas grill.

    The Horizon House is LOVELY. It’s a serene setting; the home is clean and well maintained. The views are simply gorgeous. Lake Superior, wowzer, it is beautiful. My husband and I opted not to ski Lutsen, my kids and their friends skied and snowboarded. The place is conveniently located, roughly, 2 miles from the mountain. Everything about this stay was easy. We can’t wait to return. We LOVED our time there.

    Check-in was a breeze, and the location of the home was great. We usually stay at Lutsen Sea Villas but decided to try a different location this year. Although the home was beautiful, the heating system was problematic. The fireplace didn’t work, and while the caretaker initially seemed motivated to help, communication eventually stopped altogether.That issue didn’t bother us much since we weren’t in the house often. We arrived Friday evening, were out of the house by 9–10 a.m. Saturday, didn’t return until 4–5 p.m., and checked out by 10 a.m. Sunday.After our stay, I received a message from the owner asking if I “wanted to tell her about the hole in the wicker on the back of the couch.” We had no idea what she was referring to and barely used the living space. There were only four of us—all responsible adults in our 30s—and we treated the home with care.While I understand damages can happen, the way it was addressed felt unnecessarily accusatory and condescending. A simple, respectful inquiry would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and we’ll likely return to Lutsen Sea Villas in the future.

    This home is amazing. The 180 degree views of Lake Superior has a million dollar view- beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We have visited our 3rd time now and love how relaxing the home is for reading, drawing, writing, game playing and puzzle making for our family with grandparents. We also love close proximity to great waterfall hikes, bike rides, and a short drive to Grand Marais.

    We have friends visiting from the UK for the first time, and we wanted to give them the full MN experience. The North Shore and this beautiful home did not disappoint. Amazing views of the lake, spotlessly clean, and lots of thoughtful details made this a superb home base. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary architectural gem! We look forward to returning soon.

    Over 15 years this is our 3rd visit to your home. The view is beautiful. Dead flies in the hot tub was not inviting. Not much updating has been done, could use refreshing. The black couch facing the lake is very uncomfortable and should be replaced. Needed to open the windows even when the temperature was about 50F, which was fine. TV watching area could use an upgrade to a bigger screen. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay, just providing some honest comments to help you improve. We hiked the Superior Hiking trail twice and got pretty sore and tired but it was fun. Directions to the place are very easy.Richard Herr952-221-3838 if you have questions.

    Kittie assumed the risk of six late-teenage boys staying at her property. A risk many home owners would instantly shy away from. Though, We were generously let into Kitties wonderful home. This house is nothing shy of spectacular, from the stylistic modern architecture to the intimate views offered from the lighthouse-like living room. Kitties property is an acceptant place to cozy in while spectating and pondering all the beautiful nature that is encompassed by the property. The amenities of the house were more than enough to provide us a space to cook two meals and sleep all six of us comfortably (as well as provide a spa room to warm up after being in the cold all day). The sound system provided the house with an instant mood setter and the ability to feel at home with our familiar and loved tracks. Walking around the house and noticing the closeness of the lake is an awe inspiring experience. Being able to watch the way the water moves and how the steam lights up in the late hour sunshine is all one’s needs to learn to truly appreciate the north shore and all it has to offer. Each one of us left our stay with a new found love of the North Shore of Lake Superior and )being our first trip together since our tight group went our separate ways for college) it gave us a chance to reflect upon the uniqueness and importance of our friendships. Thank you Kittie for being a wonderful host and allowing us to enjoy a Beautiful Stay at your lovely home.

    Every year we come up to the North Shore with another couple with the goal of hiking as much as the SHT in sections as we can. We stay at various VRBO properties. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Horizon Home. Beautiful property, and good communication with the hosts. We will definitely stay again!

    We loved this home. It was very modern and had every convenience we have at home. The views are every bit as amazing as the photos show, and it is very bright when the sun is out. The whole place is very spacious. The house heats up fast in the summer, but they have air conditioners to counter act the heat in the afternoon. It was amazing to see the night sky through the dome.
