About this property

Idyllic Lake Superior Lodging on the North Shore of MN. Jaw dropping!


This a pretty amazing deal for one of the most lovely vacation homes on the North Shore. Gull Harbor is on the eastern end of Tofte, not far from the towns of Lutsen and Grand Marais. This fabulous condo is quiet, tasteful, comfortable and offers a great layout to spread out if there are more than two of you. Enjoy one of the most awe-inspiring stretches of Lake Superior shoreline at this even more awe-inspiring condo. Entirely updated to the standards of today's experienced traveler who expects nothing less than a wonderful adventure. Panoramic views from all angles, a beach and shoreline to just rock hunt and relax the day away. Two bedrooms each with queen beds and high-quality linens, two full bathrooms including soft, fluffy white towels and eco-friendly soaps, shampoo, conditioner and bath gels. The wood-burning fireplace in the living area creates an ambiance that will leave you more relaxed than you can ever remember being. (Please note that the condo does not provide firewood but it can be purchased locally.) Waves, warmth, the peacefulness...one cannot go wrong. Don't forget to enjoy the outdoor fire pit and picnic area if you want to put those s'more fixings to good use, too. You may even enjoy a nice sauna that is there for you, too. You may wish to note that there are 12 large, gradually descending steps to the main entry of the building and you will then need to go down another set of steps to get to the condo once inside the building. In order to get outside to access the fire pit, grill and stairs to the shoreline there is one more set of steps you must go down. Point being, Gull Harbor is not ideal for those with any mobility issues. The updated kitchen is ready for whatever culinary masterpieces one wishes to create. You'll just need your own food and spices...the rest is there for you to use. Pots/pans, dishware, cutlery, mixing bowls, coffee maker, crockpot and blender are all there. Please note that there is no DirecTV/cable/satellite TV available at this property. There is AppleTV in place and the owners have paid subscriptions to Netflix and Hulu for guest use. Makesure you have your own provider/account information and password information if you wish toaccess other channels granted you have such an account. ALSO…VERY IMPORTANT…please make sure to completely sign out of Apple TV when you depart. We wouldn’t want others to somehow be able to access your account. You may also use the high-speed internet to stream television if you wish! This property is strictly an animal-free zone due to severe allergies.

Superior Condo!!

We loved our stay at Gull Harbor! Fantastic views of Lake Superior from every window and their grounds fun to hike and climb on. Lots of games provided along with binoculars and even a telescope! There are a lot of stairs to get to this unit, so be prepared for that. Perfect vacation for us! Can’t wait to come back!

North Shore Getaway

This unit was perfect for 2 couples. It was nice to share the common area but each have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. This is in a "dated" building but the unit itself has recently been refurbished/decorated. The views of the lake are gorgeous and the location is convenient to many trails, etc.

Perfect lakeside retreat

We stayed at this condo for a girls’ weekend away and loved our time here. Everything was very nice and it had all the supplies we needed. The view was spectacular and we loved all the huge windows and the two patios. The beach and rock shore along the property were great to hang out at, as well. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful View!

Such a beautiful condo right on the Mississippi! It has everything you need for a relaxing stay and its close to lutsen for hiking and close to grand marais! You can definitely hear the waves crashing in the condo so if you're a light sleeper I'd recommend some ear plugs!
