Property Description
Superior Sanctuary is a beautiful, updated and spacious townhome, offering 1800 sq ft. and 2 levels to unwind in comfort. This romantic lakeside home overlooks Lake Superior from atop a 25 foot cliff, offering gorgeous views from both levels, two large decks and a truly peaceful setting. A seasonal staircase (approx Memorial Day to Labor Day) provides access to a 600' shared pebble beach for agate hunting on one end of the property, with overlooks, majestic shoreline boulders and ledge rock on the other.
Enjoy the large, well-appointed full kitchen with its massive island, corian countertops and new(er) stainless steel appliances. Relax in the cozy recliners around the living room stone fireplace, watching the lake. Listen to the waves from the wonderful master bedroom ensuite, with its gas fireplace, large jacuzzi tub, private bathroom and deck. The charming second bedroom offers 2 twin beds, with another full bathroom across the hall. The main level den, with sliding glass doors, provides another private space for work and a sleep sofa. A third bathroom (half) is next to the den. The quiet setting provides a great work-from-home option, with strong fiber Wifi. Streaming TV options and 150+ DVD movies are offered, washer & dryer are next to the bedrooms, and the attached one-car garage provides additional convenience and space!
While this is a newer listing following our recent purchase, this beautiful home earned well over 100 5-star/exceptional VRBO reviews with its prior owners and we are following their lead, using the same wonderful and meticulous cleaners and offering essentially the same features and amenities.
Located 3 miles from Tofte and Bluefin Bay, 6 miles from Lutsen Mountain ski resort, and only 20-25 minutes from Grand Marais, the central location provides the perfect base for enjoying all the North Shore has to offer! Beautiful State Parks, world-class hiking, the best skiing in the Midwest (both downhill skiing and cross country), biking (both paved trails and mountain biking), waterfalls, fishing and golf, as well as a variety of wonderful restaurants (7+), live music, shopping, grocery stores and the North Shore Winery are ALL within 5-10 minutes. The Gitchi Gami State Bike Trail runs across the driveway, making it easy to bike or walk for miles, including to the shops, beautiful shoreline and restaurants at Bluefin Bay (3 mi) or Lutsen Resort (4.5 mi), or to Temperance River State Park (5.5 mi).

Our stay at Superior Sanctuary was spectacular. The place provided everything we needed...a great location, a beautiful view, clean and lovely rooms, lots of provisions like spices & kitchen & laundry supplies, great appliances & attractive fireplace to mention a few, and very comfortable chairs and beds. We loved everything about it.

Best rental we've ever stayed aat
Beautiful property, spacious interior, cozy and comfortable. The interior was immaculate. Everything seemed to work except possibly a lamp that might have had a burned-out bulb.
Bedroom layout upstairs is nice and private. Loved the deck off the master suite. The full kitchen is big enough and well-stocked with appliances and utensils to cook a gourmet meal for 6-8 people. The garage was a huge plus! I imagine that is a huge asset during the winter.
I liked the office/den off the dining room. Nice to be able to close the doors and work while someone watched TV or listened to music in the living room down below.
The location is excellent, about halfway between Tofte and Lutsen. Grand Marais is barely a 30-minute drive. The beach at the bottom of the long stairway (steep but very solid) is gorgeous. Loved the little caves carved into the cliff by the wave action. It had an isolated, private feeling even though it was acessible to all six units in the complex.

Hiking Trip
My sister and I came up to hike. This location worked great for that and for visiting Grand Marais. The place is very well stocked with everything we needed, was in good shape and had a great view of the lake!
