Lamar Nygaard Review of Lutsen Resort Minnesota

Waking up to the views of Lake Superior waves crashing in, pine trees and brisk cool air were worth the trip.
The indoor swimming pool, and hot tub were great.
The sauna is more like a generally warm room...not a sauna, it doesn't matter how much time you give it, that never comes around.
The lodge rooms were pretty old and there really weren't any dressers or closets to put things in or store your clothing. This presented a little issue since we have a toddler and all that comes with.. also, it was a bit hot in our room and the only way to cool it was by manually cracking the window. Luckily it was in the 40s when we went but it would be tough if the temps were warmer.
BUT the beds were comfy, and we ended up spending a lot of time in the public fireplace lounge. Super nice, cozy vibe, and the staff always keeps a nice fire going!
One of the things they do well is in the way of value added transactions. If you ask, they will provide smores kits, they keep fires going outside on the beach at night, they bring in live music, and keep a fresh pot of hot cider out for guests.
It's a great place for young families. We will likely spring for a cabin rental on the property next time.. the grounds are amazing, but I don't think I'd do the lodge rooms again.
Seems like a mixed review, but I really would recommend this place to any and everyone. We enjoyed our time there!
