A friend and I stayed at Caribou HIghlands Resort in Lutsen June 12-14. We arrived before check in and our room was ready. We arrived on a Wednesday, so they were not very busy. We went to the room and then checked out the rest of the resport. Our room was nicely updated with newer carpet, clean linens, clean walls... More

The location was great, but the hotel wasn't. Half of our room's outlets worked, and the bed hadn't been changed since the 1950's. Not the most up to date décor either. And the only ice machine is in the basement. Any other location and this would be $60 per night. Super 8 has better.This was $130

This is really a problem when there are maybe 10 tv channels.....we may not be there to watch tv but when u have kids u need some options....in this day and age... More

We stayed at the resort in August 2012. Beautiful place, nice accommodation. Our kids and grandkids can't wait to go there this summer again. I would recommend Caribou Highlands to everybody. Book in advance to get a good deal.

We stayed here for spring break 2013. The ski in / ski out was convenient. the 2 bedroom townhouse was perfect for the 5 of us. Decor is fine - about what you would expect for the location and price. Try to hit check in at off hours - it seems to take a little while. Our Townhouse was very... More

We loved Unit 620 with its 2 story stone fireplace, beautiful appliances in the kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding in the 2 spacious bedrooms. Beautiful view of Moose Mountain. Ski In and Ski Out was very convenient. Perfect weather, great ski conditions and the views of Lake Superior were amazing. On Site restaurant "Moguls" was marginal. Bring your own... More

nice location but overall kind of grimy. The restaurant and bar are nice and fun, but the common indoor areas and the grounds are dirty with garbage and litter all over. It doesn't look like anyone has walked around the grounds and picked things up for several weeks! 1 person working 2 hours a day at general cleanliness would be... More

I am not reviewing the gorgeous scenery, not even the very decent restaurant. It is all about the accommodation. In our case a 2 bedroom Poplar Townhome, unit 680. The main floor is nice enough with full kitchen and living room. It has a lovely large window with partial view of the slopes and is surrounded by beautiful large trees.... More

We have such fond memories of our visit to Caribou Highlands during the summer of 2012! As I'm looking to plan a vacation for this summer, I'm just hoping to find a new area to explore that's as wonderful as this was. The reservationists keep ratings of the rooms so we requested a top rated one-bedroom condo and we were... More
