109 Foothills Blvd Lutsen, MN 55612

Nestled into the hills of the maple belt forest just around the corner from the Caribou Lake landing, this enchanted property has everything needed for your escape to the North Shore – and the northwoods adventures that await! Situated on charming Foothills Blvd, a private road that is more like a meandering maple-canopied trail, this cottage is a true one-of-a-kind opportunity. With the perfect balance of simplicity and comfort, it's part tree-house, part tiny-house, part syruping homestead, and part little-cottage-in-the-big-woods. From the historic reclaimed beams to the corner loft ladder, the cottage exudes authentic charm and romance at every turn. This is true small-footprint living at its best, with off-the-grid nostalgia of no plumbing but with a new on-site well that provides pristine hot and cold water just outside the front door. Passive off-peak electric heat can be supplemented with the high-efficiency wood stove. In the winter, load the stove full and drift to sleep with the cozy crackle of a wood fire and the sound of the resident owls hooting outside. And then as the very first signs of spring begin to emerge, a maple syruping operation awaits just outside your door if you like – syrup boiler and equipment included on site! There are endless opportunities for adventuring within minutes in every direction from this coveted and iconic location: Caribou Lake, Superior Hiking Trail, Lutsen Mountains, gravel riding, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and the endless miles of exploring on the quiet winding roads of the Sawtooth Mountain lake country. And at the end of exploring, the convenience of Lutsen – with Fika Coffee Shop, Clearview General Store, Lutsen Liquor Store, and Lockport Market – are less than 10 minutes away! This property has been deeply loved and cared for by its owners who hope to pass it along to another kindred soul looking for that certain magic found only in the maples.
