We throughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and as depicted. It would be helpful to have a lit up marker or even reflectors where you turn in off the highway at night. Lovely view and so very convenient spot on the North Shore.

3rd time and will keep coming back. For us, the house is amazing as other reviewers have mentioned. We stay in a lot of VRBOs and nothing matches this one. It's also close to all of our favorite North Shore hiking - only 2 miles from the Temperance River and another one - Oberg Mountain. The managers of this property are kind, attentive, accommodating, and responsive. If you love the Ninja Ice Cream maker we bought one and left it there for others to have their protein desserts that taste just like real ice cream. We love this place and the people who own and manage it!

Excellent property. The house was clean and convenient for our group. The property itself is spectacular with excellent views. The downstairs pull out couch worked out perfectly as a “third” bedroom/ sleeping space. I’d highly recommend this accommodation.

The house was lovely for a ladies weekend! Kitchen extremely well stocked - we cooked often and had everything we needed. Swam, biked, played games on deck. Very nice that we had access to garage to store our bikes. We would definitely rent it again one of our favorite stays!

Tofte Cove

Tofte Cove was the perfect place for my family to stay. The grandchildren loved the open grounds for running and the cove for rock throwing and climbing. The cabin was spacious and well stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to return for another fun family get away.

Superior - in so many ways!

This accommodation offered a much-needed getaway for a busy family of four. We ate most meals here and the kitchen was very well-stocked with quality cooking items that were easy to locate and easy to use. The home was very, very clean and cozy and whilst we enjoyed exploring local sights and hiking during the day, we also looked forward to coming back 'home' and settling in on the patio overlooking Lake Superior, cuddling under a blanket with a good book, hanging out in the cove area, and also having s'mores over a campfire.We would highly recommend this location and accommodation for its location, the communication before/during/after our stay, and of course the beautiful views overlooking Lake Superior. Fabulous accommodation!

A Hidden Gem on the Shores of Lake Superior

This place absolutely blew us away. Booking was seamless. From the the moment we stepped inside, we were in awe. The home is beautifully updated, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the welcome gift waiting for us was such a kind touch.Every morning, we were greeted by breathtaking sunrises over Lake Superior through massive picture windows. The gas fireplace and heated floors added such a cozy, luxurious feel, and the entire home felt fresh, warm, and inviting.The bedding and linens were perfect—plush, clean, and so comfortable (and I’m very particular about that!). I honestly didn’t want to leave.The location is ideal—close to everything we needed, yet perfectly tucked away from everything we wanted to escape. We skied at Lutsen, explored scenic bike trails, and enjoyed the quiet, restorative pace of the North Shore. I picked up a few books in Grand Marais and spent each afternoon curled up by the fire with a blanket and the lake just beyond the windows.The sky here is beautifully dark. We didn’t catch the Northern Lights this time, but we’re already planning a return trip during winter for another chance.It’s rare to find a place so well thought out. From extra towels and pillows to books, puzzles, first aid supplies, and more—every little detail was covered.Honestly scared to let this secret out!
