About this property

Be mesmerized by exceptional views of Lake Superior. Perched above the water!

Welcome to 3010 Gull Harbor!

Do you seek the calmness and natural beauty of Lake Superior? Come to Gull Harbor near Tofte and Lutsen, MN. Built onto a cliff less than 50 feet from the shore of Lake Superior, Gull Harbor Condos offer astounding and unobstructed views of the lake. Sunrises and sunsets will amaze you. The property features its very own private pebble beach, framed by some of the most intriguing ledges and rock cliffs that Lake Superior offers. Guests can also enjoy the secluded shoreline, with a picnic area and a fire pit along with a charcoal grill. Don’t forget to bring your camera/sketchpad, book, beach towel/blanket, hat, sunblock, shades, food and beverage, and just hang out there all day long!

Our two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo is located on the lower level of the 3-level building, just steps away from the pebble beach and the grounds that are for picking wildflowers or walking a pet. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass doors provide lake views from every room. You’ll feel as though you are right on top of the “Big Lake,” enjoying the sounds and sights of waves morning, noon, and night!
The open-concept condo contains a comfortable living room with a gas fireplace, a dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen...all with a warm and inviting Northwoods feel. Two Smart TVs with free access to Netflix as well as a CD/stereo system, are available for your entertainment. Each bedroom has its own separate deck. One flight down takes you to the Gull Harbor sauna and sliding-glass doors leading outside. There is a handy bike rack for you bicycle enthusiasts so you may lock up your bikes without having to haul them up and down stairways, too.

Gull Harbor Condos are conveniently located between the quaint towns of Lutsen and Tofte just off Highway 61. Popular destinations nearby are the Gitchi-Gami State Bike Trail, the Lutsen Mountain Ski Area, with a variety of restaurants, and Superior National Golf Course.
Please Take Note: Gull Harbor Condos are not wheelchair accessible. Also, in winter, the road, parking area, and walkways may be icy and a four-wheel drive is recommended. Guests with pet allergies should be aware that this is a pet-friendly rental. Two pets, maximum, are allowed.

In consideration of other guests/owners, Gull Harbor has a "no barking/pet noise policy." This means you must take your pet(s) along with you whenever you leave the condo unit for more than ten minutes. You also must control pet noise while in the condo. Failure to follow this policy can result in eviction without reimbursement for rental fees and potential loss of your damage deposit.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY IS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THOSE WITH ANY MOBILITY ISSUES/FACTORS TO CONSIDER. THERE ARE STAIRS/STEPS THAT COME INTO PLAY IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE CONDO. THANK YOU.

Our stay was fantastic for all controllable factors. Warmer weather would have been nice, however, we had a great time. The place was all we hoped for. I would definitely come again.

Amazing Views!

Overall this vrbo is wonderful. As many have said, if mobility is an issue then this listing isn’t for you (2 interior flights 1 exterior flight from parking lot).Easy access to the shared pebble beach, wonderful sauna, great views, and very well stocked kitchen.Would stay again!

We love coming back here every year (sometimes a couple times per year). Great central location to state parks, our kids love biking over to the Ray Berglund Wayside and hiking up the Onion River. The rocks in front of the condo jutting out into the lake are always fun to explore and have a campfire at least once during our stay. Proximity to the Gitchi Gami trail is incredible, not to mention the mountain bike trails you can access off the Britton Peak trailhead just about a 10min drive away. The view from the unit never disappoints, not to mention the sounds and the air blowing in from the lake. Hard to top this place!
The Moonrise is always a treat when the timing is right!
Plenty to explore and soak in on the rocks on the property.

Disliked: Communication
This rental truly is in a beautiful location, & we felt very lucky to have the lake views, easy access to a pebble beach, a cozy sauna, & a shoreline fire ring.The interior of the apartment is clean & sweet, but also not as well-kept-up as I'd expect for the price point. The floorboard heater isn't in great shape (& makes loud noises when it starts and stops) & one bedroom window wouldn't close (or open further). When I sent a note to the property manager about the window, I said it was fine -- we'd keep the heat running to compensate -- but I was still surprised that I never heard back.Overall, the apartment was a comfortable place for our vacation, and it served our needs. The location was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

I’ve seen here many times it’s a beautiful place, a long trek from the parking lot, best not to pack too much. But a great place with a great view and lots of privacy.

Centrally located for waterfalls

Older but clean property. The windows with multiple views to Lake Superior right outside were phenomenal… There are a lot of steps, one flight outside and two flights down inside so bring bags vs suitcase for easier transport back up the stairs.

Beautiful view overlooking Lake Superior

This property was very clean and at the same time, it is a bit worn. Just needs a few touch ups. Definitely has the most beautiful view of Lake Superior, which made it worth renting. Be aware that there is a flight of steep stairs from the parking lot down into the building. Once in the building, there are 2 more flights of stairs down to this unit. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. We'd rent again here again.

Perfect for us!

We chose a few days away a little later in the season so it was very quiet in these condos. A flight of stairs down was a simple task when we needed to let our pups out. The grounds were clean, well maintained and far enough away from 61 so that we couldn't hear the traffic. Lake Superior was literally right outside of the huge sliding glass doors! Booking and communication with Laurie was easy and clear which I appreciate. No confusion, no ambiguity.

Lovely retreat on the North Shore

We are from N. Minnesota originally but live in Utah now, and drove out for a family visit and babymoon for a couple days at this lovely condo. We were extremely grateful to be able to bring our two dogs, loved the accessibility of the beach and coves on the lake, and the views were unbeatable. This is a really special location, with both a nice rocky beach, a point jutting out into the lake, and a neat back cove with gorgeous blue water. Really unique and we felt super fortunate to be able to stay. Had fun relaxing in the evenings and watching some of the good ol' DVDs in the condo, and things were really well-stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Will absolutely be back!

Why they chose this property

It's difficult to find such a private, quiet spot with outstanding and accessible shoreline such as we offer. You'll be only minutes away from fine dining, the Superior Hiking Trail, cross-country ski trails, the bike trail and America's Coolest Small Town, Grand Marais, is just a 20-25 minute drive away.
