This was a gorgeous and relaxing place with amazing views. The interior is very nice and all furniture was good quality and comfortable! You can tell the owners put a lot of care into the property inside and out. They have things organized and clearly labeled throughout to make it easily to move in and find what you need. We had a fabulous stay and look forward to returning again soon!

What a great home and a great location! We stayed over Easter so the well stocked kitchen and grill was so appreciated. The cove on the property was a highlight as it was a wintry weekend so we would walk down to it and watch the waves roll in. Thanks for sharing this home with our family!

We loved this cozy, private spot. It was perfect for our family with plenty of room for spending time together by the fireplace. It was such a treat to wake up to gorgeous Lake Superior sunrises. The kitchen was amazingly well-stocked and we had everything we needed. We were very impressed with the attention to detail. Excellent communication with the host. We look forward to visiting in the summer months when we can explore the cove.

Very relaxing and beautiful cabin. Close to Lutsen and a lot of wonderful cross country skiing trails if you go in the winter. There are a few restaurants near by that were very good but the kitchen there was very nice as well and had everything you would need to make a nice meal. The only set back was that they had a huge blizzard the day we traveled up and we couldn’t get into the driveway so had to stay at another place for the night. But the host stayed in contact the whole time giving us updates on the weather and were very helpful. We still had 4 lovely nights and enjoyed the snowy setting and local outdoor activity. We commented to each other several times that one day when we retire this is exactly the kind of place we would like to live. It is truly beautiful.

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.
