LUTSEN, Minn. (FOX 9) - Following the devastating fire this week
that destroyed the historic Lutsen Lodge, FOX 9 has learned several
lawsuits were filed against the resort by neighboring cabin owners,
just days before the blaze.
Since February 1, four property owners, whose cabins were managed
and rented out by Lutsen Resorts, have claimed they are owed a total
of more than $50,000 by the owner of Lutsen Lodge, with several
stating they last received payments in July.
Karin and Bob Nagel, like so many others, felt the loss when they
heard the news of the fire at the resort along Lake Superior in
Minnesota's Arrowhead region.
"Super devastating... thankful it didn’t climb up the hill to other
properties, so that’s a good thing," Karin Nagel reminisced.
The Nagels married at the lodge in 2013 and bought a nearby cabin
the following year.
Like many of their neighbors, the cabin was booked and managed by
Lutsen with rental fees split 50-50 with the resort. However, since
the current owner took over in 2018, the Nagels have experienced
issues with late payments, but now say, for the last four months of
2023, they haven't been paid at all to an estimated $13,000 owed.
Bob Nagel shared their frustration, citing excuses like "Oh, a
computer’s broken down, we’ve got a new accountant," for the lack of
payment.
They filed a civil claim against the owner of Lutsen Resorts on
February 1, followed by three other cabin owners with similar
grievances regarding payments since August, before the abnormally
slow winter months – and even though the fall months were busy. "And
we just want our money. You know, super sad about what happened to
the lodge, but today we would like our money," Karin Nagel
expressed, uncertain about the likelihood of seeing any
compensation.
The Nagels' agreement with Lutsen Resorts expired at the end of
2023, and they, along with several others, have since switched to a
different management company. Attempts to reach Bryce Campbell, the
owner of Lutsen Lodge, for comment, but have been unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, the state Fire Marshall's Office is continuing its
investigation into the cause of the fire.
