Perfect Place for a Skication

We stayed here in February and went to Lutsen for a few days. It was a great location for a Lutsen skication. The sauna was excellent. The kitchen is a bit small but has almost all of the amenities. Would stay here again!

Weekend away

This cabin had everything you needed for a great time away on the North Shore. Close to the general store and a quick drive to grand Marais, but more so it was super close to some beautiful nature and walking. We would happily stay again at this beautiful cabin.

Awesome spot near Lutsen

We stayed at Alex & Kate's A-Frame in Tofte while competing at spring races at Lutsen. They were incredibly responsive and accommodating with our needs, and the house is fantastic. Easily fit the 7 of us, with a great space for hanging out after the day of skiing. And the Sauna was incredible! Easy to use, and really made for a great way to end the day. Well appointed kitchen, amazing deck with views of Lake Superior, quiet setting - just perfect. Will keep this place on our go-to when back in Lutsen!

North Shore stay

If you are visiting Minnesota’s North Shore this is a great place to stay. Comfy yet spacious enough to spread out. We didn’t try the sauna as we had a busy schedule but the fire pit was a great place to gather in the evening. Nice space for cooking or grilling. Or just enjoying the fireplace, tv, or internet. Great place to relax.

Comfy get away home

This house was great! Plenty of room for number of guests, close to Lutsen Mountain but also is extremely private. We ended up getting the sauna going early, did a polar plunge in Lake Superior and then came back to the house for some sweet time. The sauna is a great feature! Thanks for the great week!

Great weekend

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean and we'll maintained. However, there is no air conditioning, so it gets a little warm during the summer months. But overall, it was a nice place to stay.

Comfortable house for large family

Our extended family of eight enjoyed our stay thoroughly. We had plenty of room and were very comfortable in the house; the kitchen is large and exceptionally well stocked with utensils and appliances, which made cooking pleasurable. The view of Lake Superior and the close proximity to so many trails and state parks made this an ideal place for us to stay. Alex and Kate are incredibly kind and generous hosts.

Ski Vacation Getaway

We loved our stay overall in this sweet Tofte Cabin! Each family member enjoyed their own private room, which allowed for great sleep, and happy kids! The family room and fireplace were warm and cozy! There were plenty of blankets for the cool winter nights! We had some electrical issues, and the property owners were very responsive!

Great central location on the North Shore

A great fit for our extended family weekend of hiking and family fun. Perfect amount of space for our group of six adults and three teens. Each family had their own bathroom…a definite plus. The teens enjoyed the bunk bed room with the additional foldout bed. The new fire ring and supplied firewood was a nice touch after long days of exploring. Thanks!

Superior 100

We were 3 runners and crew for a 100 mile race. The property is convenient to the SHT where the race is held. The 6 crew were able to use the house as a headquarters during the overnight part of the race. It was perfect for our post-race celebration. I only wish we’d booked one more day — it would have been perfect for recovering.

Nice visit to North Shore

Loved the location close to Tofte and hiking trails/mountain biking. The kids loved the Xbox and board games. Unfortunately it was super buggy even wearing bug spray when we went so we were not able to enjoy the yard. House had everything we needed. I’ve enjoyed the bedrooms on different levels to the little kids could get up and play without waking others up.
