“Caribou Highlands Lodge wins for slopeside convenience in Lutsen, with ski-in, ski-out access and a gondola. For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is a dream: hiking trails start right outside, and both rugged and paved biking paths abound. I particularly like that they cater to cyclists with on-site repair and washing stations.”
