"Loved our stay at Lutsen Sea Villas and would highly recommend it for all travelers and lovers of the Nature. The unit is right on the lake shore with beautiful views of the Lake Superior and relaxing sounds of the breakers.

Eagle Ridge Resort at Lutsen Mountains

Eagle Ridge Resort at Lutsen Mountains

8/10 Good
"Eagle Ridge is a beautiful property in a great location, and overall it seems very well maintained. Our room was extremely clean when we arrived, which we really appreciated. We did have a few maintenance issues during our stay. The lock on our bathroom door was broken, and there was a screwdriver and pair of pliers left sitting on the counter when we checked in, which made it seem like a repair had been started but not finished. The sauna was also not working the first night of our stay, and unfortunately the hot tub was not working the second night. We really enjoyed the activities at Lutsen. The gondola ride was amazing and definitely a highlight of our trip. The alpine slide was also a lot of fun. Both were quite expensive, especially for a family, but we were glad we did them. Overall, Eagle Ridge is a nice, clean property in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay, but for the price, we would have expected the room and resort amenities to be fully functional."
