Independent Lutsen hotels

"Loved it!"

"Painted Rock was delightful. I loved the simplicity of the decor, and the thoughtfulness that went into each amenity. There were so many details that kept adding to the stay: wool blankets, fireplace, the kitchen appliances (super fun!), the tea, the VIEWS of the water, the privacy of the location (neighbors are nearby but not visible), the kitchen well-supplied (but simply) with tools, sharp knives to work with!, beautiful and functional tub/shower (great water pressure!), and the hummingbird feeder. The property is well cared for and maintained. We really enjoyed our stay - would definitely choose Painted Rock again for an anniversary getaway!"

"Staff was friendly and room was very clean. Liked the fact that they have quiet hours. Nice view of the woods."

"My husband and I go"

"A perfect place for birders like us. Huge variety of wildlife Close to Cascade and Grand Marais and the Gunflint. Tremendous hikes"

"Eagle Ridge is a great location, clean and well maintained, great pool and hot tub with beautiful views. Will definitely come back again!"

"There's a beautiful common area with a pool table, bumper pool, a fireplace and lots of books and puzzles. Snacks for purchase in the lobby. Real old-fashioned cabin feel. Stayed in a motel room with lovely cabin interior, with deck looking out to the lake, kitchenette and comfortable beds. Very friendly staff. And at a very affordable price for the north shore."

"Nice and clean property though not very fancy. Great staff and the breakfast bar is open from 7:00am to 9:00pm with many choices. "

"This clean, light-filled room had a beautiful, comfortable bed and nice walk-in shower. I appreciated the real coffee mugs next to the coffee maker! I’m so tired of the disposable cups I usually find in hotel rooms. "
