About this property

Be mesmerized by exceptional views of Lake Superior. Perched above the water!

Welcome to 3010 Gull Harbor!

Do you seek the calmness and natural beauty of Lake Superior? Come to Gull Harbor near Tofte and Lutsen, MN. Built onto a cliff less than 50 feet from the shore of Lake Superior, Gull Harbor Condos offer astounding and unobstructed views of the lake. Sunrises and sunsets will amaze you. The property features its very own private pebble beach, framed by some of the most intriguing ledges and rock cliffs that Lake Superior offers. Guests can also enjoy the secluded shoreline, with a picnic area and a fire pit along with a charcoal grill. Don’t forget to bring your camera/sketchpad, book, beach towel/blanket, hat, sunblock, shades, food and beverage, and just hang out there all day long!

Our two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo is located on the lower level of the 3-level building, just steps away from the pebble beach and the grounds that are for picking wildflowers or walking a pet. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass doors provide lake views from every room. You’ll feel as though you are right on top of the “Big Lake,” enjoying the sounds and sights of waves morning, noon, and night!
The open-concept condo contains a comfortable living room with a gas fireplace, a dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen...all with a warm and inviting Northwoods feel. Two Smart TVs with free access to Netflix as well as a CD/stereo system, are available for your entertainment. Each bedroom has its own separate deck. One flight down takes you to the Gull Harbor sauna and sliding-glass doors leading outside. There is a handy bike rack for you bicycle enthusiasts so you may lock up your bikes without having to haul them up and down stairways, too.

Gull Harbor Condos are conveniently located between the quaint towns of Lutsen and Tofte just off Highway 61. Popular destinations nearby are the Gitchi-Gami State Bike Trail, the Lutsen Mountain Ski Area, with a variety of restaurants, and Superior National Golf Course.
Please Take Note: Gull Harbor Condos are not wheelchair accessible. Also, in winter, the road, parking area, and walkways may be icy and a four-wheel drive is recommended. Guests with pet allergies should be aware that this is a pet-friendly rental. Two pets, maximum, are allowed.

In consideration of other guests/owners, Gull Harbor has a "no barking/pet noise policy." This means you must take your pet(s) along with you whenever you leave the condo unit for more than ten minutes. You also must control pet noise while in the condo. Failure to follow this policy can result in eviction without reimbursement for rental fees and potential loss of your damage deposit.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY IS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THOSE WITH ANY MOBILITY ISSUES/FACTORS TO CONSIDER. THERE ARE STAIRS/STEPS THAT COME INTO PLAY IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE CONDO. THANK YOU.

Lovely retreat on the North Shore

We are from N. Minnesota originally but live in Utah now, and drove out for a family visit and babymoon for a couple days at this lovely condo. We were extremely grateful to be able to bring our two dogs, loved the accessibility of the beach and coves on the lake, and the views were unbeatable. This is a really special location, with both a nice rocky beach, a point jutting out into the lake, and a neat back cove with gorgeous blue water. Really unique and we felt super fortunate to be able to stay. Had fun relaxing in the evenings and watching some of the good ol' DVDs in the condo, and things were really well-stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Will absolutely be back!

Cozy with great views

Awesome chance to be 'on' the lake and still comfy cozy. plenty of bedroom space and nice living areas designed for 4. Only minor inconvenience was heavy feet in the unit upstairs- sounded like they were pacing the floor both evenings. Would definitely visit again!

Wonderful stay in Tofte

The condo was just as described. Very clean, cozy, incredible views, and a great location on the North Shore. We enjoyed the private lake access and community picnic table, as well. There are lots of stairs, as described, but it was manageable for our family, and the cliff setting made it worth it. I highly recommend staying here!

Amazing property!

My fiancé and i booked this condo to stay in the week of our wedding. It was absolutely perfect for us and our dog. She loved having the screen doors open and lisening to the waves crashing. The balconies are perfect for early morning sun rises. This place will always be a very special memory for us and our time here will forever be a favorite of ours.

Absolutely Gorgeous

This place was amazing. The views are incredible, the condo is roomy and comfortable. Beds were very nice. Place was clean and well stocked. The hike in and out was some steps ( 3 flights), but as long as you don't have mobility problems it's fine. Also it's pet friendly which is awesome. Highly recommend this property

Why they chose this property

It's difficult to find such a private, quiet spot with outstanding and accessible shoreline such as we offer. You'll be only minutes away from fine dining, the Superior Hiking Trail, cross-country ski trails, the bike trail and America's Coolest Small Town, Grand Marais, is just a 20-25 minute drive away.
