We had a great time at The Sanctuary. The house is in a great location with beautiful night skies. I was unable to give this house 5 stars because it just wasn't as well appointed & cared for as other VRBO rentals we've stayed in which earned 5 stars. Our experience would have been improved with more comfortable beds, a better equipped kitchen & more comfortable furniture on the lovely deck.

We had a wonderful stay at The Sanctuary. The A-frame worked well for our family of five. Dave was very responsive to our questions, and instructions sent in advance and at the cabin were very helpful (thanks, Dave!). Beautiful view of the lake from the cabin and yard. Lots of amenities and things to do both at the cabin and nearby. We wished we had more days there, and hope to visit again soon! :)

Absolutely stunning views from every direction of this home. I’ve lived in MN my whole life and we make one to two trips to the North Shore each year. This home will be a top 5 memory! The house had everything we needed. Tons of indoor and outdoor space and also very private. Our host communicated all the details ahead of our trip and they had a great book full of recommendations in the area. We would gladly stay again!

Best view of Lake Superior in a private setting.The location of this vrbo is wonderful - set back up on a hill overlooking Lake Superior. Very convenient to drive north to Lutsen for golf or south to restaurants in Tofte and Two Harbors.We were two couples who each had our own king bedroom and bath. Very comfortable beds. Bathrooms were stocked with shampoo, conditioner and a blow dryer. We didn’t make any food at the house but the kitchen is well stocked. There are ample glasses and silverware. We loved sitting on the two decks watching the sunrise and sunset. Highly recommend this place!

This VRBO is truly a Sanctuary. It sits perched on a hill among the trees. Jack rabbits played and grazed in the yard. The view is amazing! The town folk are friendly and helpful. We found everything as listed. No matter which direction you drive there is a restaurant to be found. No matter the distance to drive to and from a distination for the day, the drive itself is beautiful.
