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.

This lovely condo more than met our needs for a retired friends get-away!

The owner was very responsive to questions and we had a wonderful time relaxing, cooking and eating in a comfortable kitchen and dining area with spectacular views. The beds are so comfortable and the views from each bedroom are lovely!

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, comfortable place to stay with gorgeous views.

We really loved staying here. The place is very comfortable, and decorated beautifully. All accommodations are great -- we found the kitchen to be well stocked with equipment. It's a very elegant place to stay and views from 3 different balconies are stunning. It's close to many wonderful hiking areas and a short drive from Grand Marais shops and restaurants. We would definitely like to return and we recommend this condo highly.

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!

Perfectly Panoramic view

We had a short but wonderful stay. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to cook a meal. We recommend the Whole Foods in Grand Marais. Enjoyed hiking, exploring, everything was in great proximity of the condo. At the condo we made time for a daily sauna, and lake plunge, a bon fire with the best view ever, and a movie . Thanks for providing wonderful earth friendly bath products. We hope to return.

Relaxing family weekend

Spectacular views! Just like the photo. Each bedroom was spacious with its own bathroom and balcony. Loved that everything was provided, including Essential Oil bath products - felt so fancy. 😀 We had brought our own board games, but the host has several games, puzzles and reading material available. We appreciated the Welcome booklet explaining amenities, local restaurants and detailed check out tasks. Entering was so neat, tidy and organized. We loved our visit and would visit again.

Sisters Get Away

This beautiful condo was the perfect place for my sister and I to spend some much needed time together. The condo was as shown in the pictures with great accommodations and the most fantastic views of the lake (even had a bald eagle land in the tree outside of the living room). Beds were very comfortable and I absolutely loved the toiletries provided. If you’re looking to stay on the north shore this condo is a must. Midway distance between Two Harbors and Grand Marais. 5m

Condo is beautiful

We loved the condo. It was perfect for 2 couples to stay. It is completely remodeled and modern. Comfortable Tempur-Pedic beds, a balcony off of each bedroom plus one off the living room. The location is great on beautiful Lake Superior. Our only complaint was that another tenant or guest locked us out on the lakeside one of the nights we stayed. The lower level is a patio door that you exit out of to get to the lake and fire ring. It locks from the inside. We scaled the hillside to get back in through the keyed front door. I would suggest that the lock be changed out for one that you can open with a key from the outside. Other than that, all was great. The sunrise was amazing.

I will agree with many previous reviewers: the owner has done a nice job updating the property, the pictures are exactly how the place looks, and the kitchen is well-equipped, it is in sharp contrast to the look of the rest of the place. However, the stairs, tho mentioned are down-played. There are SO many and if they are outside, they are treacherous, inside, the mold smell is almost unbearable to get to the unit. Not at all conducive to schlepping crap in and out. And if allergic, im not sure you could even stay here.One towel per person, no bathmats, and signs of mice (little "presents" on countertops).View is nice, from one or 2 windows, too much overgrowth from others. Rocks down below pretty for taking in view, if you are agile enough. Sounds of waves great, and beds were decent. If you took this unit out of this building, and stood it alone, it would be close to 5 stars. But i just hated the feel of the areas outside of it. Sorry!

Perfect spot for Lutsen Race!

My wife and I and another couple stayed here during the Lutsen mtv race and 2030 fit us perfectly. 2 bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom and great views of the lake. 4 miles from Superior golf so we could ride to the start vs messing with morning parking.Check in was easy and the kitchen was fully stocked. Just bring food and spices and coffee. Despite a little incident from upstairs, the stay was flawless. We would definitely recommend staying here!

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.
