About this property
Superior Sanctuary on Lake Superior. Just 6 mi from Lutsen Mountain ski resort!
Superior Sanctuary is a beautiful, updated and spacious townhome, offering 1800 sq ft. and 2 levels to unwind in comfort. This romantic lakeside home overlooks Lake Superior from atop a 25 foot cliff, offering gorgeous views from both levels, two large decks and a truly peaceful setting. A seasonal staircase (approx Memorial Day to Labor Day) provides access to a 600' shared pebble beach for agate hunting on one end of the property, with overlooks, majestic shoreline boulders and ledge rock on the other.
Enjoy the large, well-appointed full kitchen with its massive island, corian countertops and new(er) stainless steel appliances. Relax in the cozy recliners around the living room stone fireplace, watching the lake. Listen to the waves from the wonderful master bedroom ensuite, with its gas fireplace, large jacuzzi tub, private bathroom and deck. The charming second bedroom offers 2 twin beds, with another full bathroom across the hall. The main level den, with sliding glass doors, provides another private space for work and a sleep sofa. A third bathroom (half) is next to the den. Streaming TV options and 150+ DVD movies are offered, washer & dryer are next to the bedrooms, and the attached one-car garage provides additional convenience and space!
Located between Tofte and Lutsen, and only 20-25 minutes from Grand Marais, the central location provides the perfect base for enjoying all the North Shore has to offer! Beautiful State Parks, world-class hiking, the best skiing in the Midwest (both downhill skiing and cross country), biking (both paved trails and mountain biking), waterfalls, fishing and golf, as well as a variety of wonderful restaurants (7+), live music, shopping, grocery stores and the North Shore Winery are ALL within 5-10 minutes. The Gitchi Gami State Bike Trail runs across the driveway, making it easy to bike or walk for miles, including to the shops, beautiful shoreline and restaurants at Bluefin Bay (3 mi) or Lutsen Resort (4.5 mi), or to Temperance River State Park (5.5 mi).

About the host
Hosted by Kacy Kleinhans
My wife, kids and I love the North Shore. My wife grew up in the North East going to the Jersey Shore and other vacation areas on the Atlantic Ocean. I grew up in the Midwest and have always loved National and State Parks and being outside all four seasons. The beautiful North Shore long ago captured all of our hearts with all it has to offer. Same for majestic Lake Superior.
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the North Shore for many years. During those adventures and vacations, we looked at many properties. When we saw this home, on the shore of Lake Superior, with its beach, beautiful rocks, large gleaming kitchen and spacious rooms, we were hooked. The peaceful and quiet setting of Aspenwood, coupled with its central location, sealed the deal.
