Wheel Hus Retreat is a beautiful luxury home located in Tofte, Minnesota

Wow! That's what most people will say when they first see Wheel Hus Retreat. This new construction home spares no expense with its high-end, luxury finishing and furnishings. From a gorgeous chef's kitchen to your own private waterfall, this luxury home in Tofte, Minnesota has it all! Wheel Hus Retreat is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom inland home with year-round Lake Superior views (better in the winter!). The home has a spacious chef's kitchen complete with a 6-burner range and a refrigerator and dishwasher that blend in with the custom cabinetry. The countertops found throughout the home are a unique granite countertop with a leathered finish creating a durable but attractive prep space to prepare your home-cooked meals in. There is seating for everyone at the spacious island or in the dining room which features a solid wood dining table. A 65" Smart TV is ready for watching a movie on a rainy day in the living room. Curl up in front of the gas fireplace that appears to burn real embers! No expense was spared in this beautiful and comfortable living space. Step out onto the 4-season porch and start up a fire in the stone-surround wood-burning fireplace. Open the windows for some lovely cross-flow air on hot summer days. There is also a gas grill outside the home, perfect for your summertime BBQs. This home also features an incredible, private property you can explore during your stay. Numerous trails lead to various sights around the property- including a seasonal waterfall! A quaint river flows along the perimeter of the property.

Great place but issues
The house and location are stunning - the house is well appointed with everything we would need. The waterfall on the property was an amazing surprise. However we had issues: the lower level bedroom heat did not work so the bedroom was freezing the first night. The in floor heat did not work, the floors were ice cold. We tried to turn up the furnace but that did not warm the room either. A maintenance person came over to look and told us a valve/lever for the in floor heat was shut off and since he didn’t know what he couldn’t turn it back on. That tells me that the owner or someone knew the valve was turned off and the heat didn’t work but neglected to tell us or Cascade. If someone knew that the heat was not working and did not inform us, that’s very poor customer service. And if someone knew and did not provide a space heater from the start, that’s very poor service as well. Or whoever knew should have left much better instructions on how to heat the lower level bedroom with the furnace heat. The maintenance person brought over a spaceheater for the second night. I am quite frustrated that no one bothered to tell us or prepare the place for the in floor heat not working in the bedroom. I give that situation 1 star. Second, the flue for the outside fireplace does not work properly. We started a fire and the porch filled with smoke. The flue only opens part way and when we looked up the chimney, the flew looked crooked like it was broken. We couldn’t use the FP

Great Location
We spent 4 days on the North Shore exploring state parks and scenic gems! The house was a great base location. We were able to enjoy the table for games and watch some March Madness on the TV. Bring your own games- as the house only has cards and poker chips. The cozy fireplaces kept us warm! Just a heads up, you have to drive to Lutsen to drop off your recycling. The outside garbage was a little hard to find and was full. Would definitely recommend.

Another great stay at Wheel Hus
Second year staying at Wheel Hus for a long weekend of skiing at Lutsen. Spacious, clean, quiet, and an ideal location for skiing. Will certainly consider returning next year!
