Property details
Listen to the sounds of the Poplar River as you drift to sleep or relax on one of the decks in the high woods at Lutsen Mountains. Our unit is located at the very end of the road, facing away from the rest of the resort, giving you the bonus setting of the fastest ski-out access on-site and total privacy without giving up access to the resort amenities like the indoor and outdoor pools.
Hibernation House is a beautiful two-story home with a lower-level walkout basement. You will have ski-in and ski-out access right out your front and back doors to the high-speed lift on Moose Mountain. It's truly one of the nicest Poplar Ridge Homes at Lutsen. With five bedrooms spread out over three levels, this home is ideal for groups of up to 15 people, allowing multiple families to still have their own spaces. Your stay also includes access to the indoor and outdoor resort pools and the fitness room in the main lodge.

Amazing cabin in a wonderful location! Peter was great to work with and very responsive to questions. My family had an incredible time on the North Shore and would definitely stay here again.

We had a very nice time staying at Hibernation house. It was comfortable for our 6 adults. The location is cozy, quiet and peaceful. The picture shows an entire home and the listing indicates you have access to the entire home, but note that you really only have 1/2 the house. So, it’s a bit smaller than we expected. Peter did an outstanding job at communicating with us and responding quickly to any questions we had. He also provided some great recommendations for things to do, dining, hiking, etc which we truly appreciated. Overall, we had a great time in Lutsen and would consider returning in the future.
