LUTSEN, Minn. – Historic Lutsen Resort on the North Shore of Lake Superior is up for sale for a cool $9.95 million.

Lutsen is Minnesota’s oldest active resort, founded in 1885, according to the resort’s website.

The property sleeps 700 guests in 209 rooms with a variety of accommodations and includes two swimming pools, a spa, restaurants and ballroom overlooking Lake Superior.

The ski hill a few miles away and neighboring properties are no longer associated with the business operation of the lakeside resort.

The resort was founded by Swedish immigrant Charles Axel Nelson, and the Nelson name would become synonymous with the North Shore and Minnesota skiing for a century. Nancy Burns and Scott Harrison purchased the resort in 1988 and have owned it until now. Related Articles Coronavirus: Deaths cross 2,000 mark in MN; 1,478 new infections reported Saturday

The Lutsen lodge listing follows the recent listing of the historic Naniboujou Lodge near Hovland and the sale of Gunflint Lodge by the Kerfoot family, the oldest on the Gunflint Trail, in 2016.
