Staying at the Halsnoy Haven was an absolute pleasure. Beautiful home perched on the edge of Lake Superior. Everything you could want, solitude, fresh air, peaceful surroundings. We awoke to amazing sunrises and fell asleep to the lapping of waves from the lake.The enclosed porch or open air covered deck were perfect for morning coffee and afternoon sun breaks. We didn't want to leave!

We ended up with rain during our stay which gave a foggy view, but we could still hear the water and it was heavenly. The place is beautiful and the accomodations were top notch.

Superior Serenity

Halsnoy Haven is a wonderful house and property. The panoramic view of Lake Superior is so impressive from the outside deck, the enclosed deck or behind the big windows and sliders across the front of the house.The house is very well designed and fully fitted out to support a great stay. It was so comfortable and beautiful that we only left the house to hike - no restaurants have a better view and we like to cook.

North Shore in July

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the Halsnoy Haven, and really enjoyed the place. The description was spot-on…well-appointed living spaces, excellent screened and open porch. Having access to the garage was unexpected but appreciated…with heavy storms for a day-plus, able to keep the car protected. That same stormy day, we took full advantage of the jigsaw puzzle collection that was available! I’d certainly recommend this lovely cabin for two people wanting to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing few days

Peaceful

Halsnoy Haven is a gem tucked just off Hwy 61 overlooking Lake Superior. It is extremely cozy and immaculate. We would definitely book this property again. It is in close proximity to many sights, trails and yet is very private. The bed was very comfortable.

Paradise for Two

The house is well equipped and has a well designed layout. The views of Superior are incredible, especially from the open and enclosed decks. It was very relaxing to watch the moods of Superior.

Northshore Hideaway

It's exactly as advertised. We enjoyed having some shoreline to ourselves to sit and relax and look out over the water. With all the windows, the view felt never ending.

North Shore Gem

We loved our stay at Halsnoy Haven! The house has a beautiful view of Lake Superior from the large deck. The newly remodeled interior is modern, fresh and clean. The location near Tofte is idea as it is fairly close to several hiking trails and quaint North Shore town. The bike trail goes right by the property. We hope to return to Halsnoy!

Simply Amazing

From the first few steps in the house this property is amazing. The views of Lake Superior are incredibly brought into the home with the countless windows. Staying here was an experience not just a place to stay. Watching the sunrise and hearing the waves crashing from the deck was a memory we’ll never forget. Thank you for allowing the opportunity for this experience.

Lovely property within close proximity to Lake Superior and Tofte

My husband and I stayed at this property for a quiet weekend getaway and what a lovely property. The house is well equipped with everything needed for cooking and very clean. The bedding and mattress was new and very comfortable. We enjoyed the lakeside deck and comfy Adirondack chairs as well as the fire-pit. Our communication with the property manager was responded to quickly and efficiently. Other than the too early checkout time on departure day we have absolutely no concerns. Thanks for a lovely respite overlooking Lake Superior.

Fal Getaway

We spent 4 nights at Halsnoy Haven the first week in October. Returning to the North Shore is always a highlight and was even more perfect because of this wonderful location and home. Newly remodeled from top to bottom we found everything you could want for a perfect getaway. The kitchen contained all the necessary items plus extras! Comfy beds, great furniture and many places to sit and relax only added to our stay. And then there were the outdoor area...a screen porch, deck, chairs by the lake and of course an all around amazing view to sit, relax and listen to the waves. You cannot go wrong with Halsnoy Haven. We already booked it for next year

For the 3rd year we had a wonderful Fall Break at Halsnoy Haven. The home is well cared for, exceptionally clean and well stocked. As we were leaving the cleaner was waiting and we where happy to compliment her on the wonderful attention to detail. Of course the view always dazzles.The wine and water bottle were an appreciated addition.We are all signed up for the same time next year.Laurie

The property was perfect for a weekend getaway. We wished we could stay longer. The first thing we saw when walking into the house was the amazing view of the lake. The weather was rainy and cool when we were there, so we appreciated the covered deck and 3 season porch. Highly recommended this property, even though I would like to gatekeep it, and look forward to returning.
