    I have usually stayed closer to Grand Marais but I did like the Tofte location. I explored trails both south and north of Tofte and the stores in Lutsen are nearby. I also enjoyed the North Shore Winery and I was especially impressed by the Schroeder Baking Company as a food option. Other food options are available in Lutsen, Tofte and Schroeder that I may try on future trips. Overall I would consider Tofte or Lutsen as a top location for my next visit to the North Shore. The only downside is the distance from Grand Marais.

    The resort is between Tofte and Lutsen.

    The resort is between Tofte and Lutsen. The latter has more to offer vacationers with the ski resort and several dining options. However there are many resorts along the shore between the two towns. The gondola ride at Lutsen Mt to see the fall colors was exceptional. We had a good dinner at Blue Fin and a great, although pricey, dinner at Lutsen Resort. Both dining rooms had wonderful views of Lake Superior. A short day trip to Grand Marais was also fun. It's a trendy fishing village with shops, restaurants and other activities.

    Located near the Temperance River and Temperance State Park for great hiking, lake shore picnicking, beach activities, fly fishing, and waterfalls. Tofte has a post office, Holiday station, gift shops, groceries, and several eating establishments. Our favorite was the Blue Fin for great food and fine dining. We stayed at Cliff Dwellers just north of Tofte where every room has a balcony on the cliff edge to view and experience the beauty of Lake Superior. Tofte is only a few minutes from Lutsen and an easy half hour drive to Grand Marais.

    We love the North Shore of Lake Superior, with it's Big Water and little mountains - so like other places in N. America, and so unique at the same time! Tofte has wonderful food, other great lodging in the area (though spendy at other facilities), an interesting history and beautiful setting. Tofte is close to most of what's available to do and enjoy along the "middle" of the North Shore, and a good base for hiking and day-tripping.

    Our stay was during the Covid ordeal so restaurants were not open. We had planned for this and brought our own food. The hiking up various places around Tofte is worth the trip, especially liked hiking up (away from the lake) at Temperance River State Park.

    Tofte is in the perfect location for visiting all the state parks on the North Shore. It is also a short distance from Grand Marais, and you can go to Betty's Pies on the way. You can rent bicycles and kayaks in Tofte and there is also a nice supermarket.

    As the name implies, the Cliff Dweller on Lake Superior is located on a cliff high above Lake Superior and every room has a large balcony overlooking the lake. It was wonderful sitting on the balcony at sunset and having my breakfast there in the morning, and just as wonderful was falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing into the rocks below. On top of that, the staff were very friendly, the room was clean and appeared to be recently updated, and there was coffee and blueberry muffins in the sunroom in the morning.

    Loved the view of Lake Superior from our balcony! The room was perfect for two people--felt spacious and clean. It was great to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room, plus a table and two chairs in the room as well as on the balcony. Made it easy to enjoy a bowl of cereal or oatmeal and fruit in the morning in the privacy of our room. Location was super convenient to state parks and Grand Marais, and the owners were extremely welcoming. We will be coming back:)!!

    It would be hard to find a place with a better view. It was stunning. Very quiet and peaceful location. Rooms are small, but very clean, comfortable and have everything you need. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends as well. Location is great as it is between parks and only 25 miles to Grand Marais.

    The parks on the North Shore feature rivers. Snow melt has raised river levels and the waterfalls were the most impressive I recall. Tofte is in the midst of this. Superb hiking.

    The views to the lake were wonderful, we left our balcony door open at night to listen to the waves. In a very good location, just a few miles to Grand Marais and parks.

    Loved the views, the deck just out the door to watch the lake. And it was the perfect location for all the waterfalls and only about a half hour drive to Grand Marais.

    Room was large and comfortable, overlooking a wooded area in back. There was a nice, grassy area along the side for dogs.
