About this property

This a pretty amazing deal for one of the most lovely vacation homes on the North Shore. Gull Harbor is on the eastern end of Tofte, not far from the towns of Lutsen and Grand Marais. This fabulous condo is quiet, tasteful, comfortable and offers a great layout to spread out if there are more than two of you. Enjoy one of the most awe-inspiring stretches of Lake Superior shoreline at this even more awe-inspiring condo. Entirely updated to the standards of today's experienced traveler who expects nothing less than a wonderful adventure. Panoramic views from all angles, a beach and shoreline to just rock hunt and relax the day away. Two bedrooms each with queen beds and high-quality linens, two full bathrooms including soft, fluffy white towels and eco-friendly soaps, shampoo, conditioner and bath gels. The wood-burning fireplace in the living area creates an ambiance that will leave you more relaxed than you can ever remember being. (Please note that the condo does not provide firewood but it can be purchased locally.) Waves, warmth, the peacefulness...one cannot go wrong. Don't forget to enjoy the outdoor fire pit and picnic area if you want to put those s'more fixings to good use, too. You may even enjoy a nice sauna that is there for you, too. You may wish to note that there are 12 large, gradually descending steps to the main entry of the building and you will then need to go down another set of steps to get to the condo once inside the building. In order to get outside to access the fire pit, grill and stairs to the shoreline there is one more set of steps you must go down. Point being, Gull Harbor is not ideal for those with any mobility issues. The updated kitchen is ready for whatever culinary masterpieces one wishes to create. You'll just need your own food and spices...the rest is there for you to use. Pots/pans, dishware, cutlery, mixing bowls, coffee maker, crockpot and blender are all there. Please note that there is no DirecTV/cable/satellite TV available at this property. There is AppleTV in place and the owners have paid subscriptions to Netflix and Hulu for guest use. Makesure you have your own provider/account information and password information if you wish toaccess other channels granted you have such an account. ALSO…VERY IMPORTANT…please make sure to completely sign out of Apple TV when you depart. We wouldn’t want others to somehow be able to access your account. You may also use the high-speed internet to stream television if you wish! This property is strictly an animal-free zone due to severe allergies.

Relaxing family weekend

Spectacular views! Just like the photo. Each bedroom was spacious with its own bathroom and balcony. Loved that everything was provided, including Essential Oil bath products - felt so fancy. 😀 We had brought our own board games, but the host has several games, puzzles and reading material available. We appreciated the Welcome booklet explaining amenities, local restaurants and detailed check out tasks. Entering was so neat, tidy and organized. We loved our visit and would visit again.

I would like to have known about all of the steps to get into our rental space ahead of time! One member of our group had his foot in a cast. All of the steps were treacherous. Moving luggage up and down the steps was difficult. The view was quite spectacular!

Stunning views!

I absolutely love this location! This was my second time staying at this condo. The furnishings are nice and updated. The views are beautiful! My only caution to older travelers, the showers can be a bit slippery. There are no grab bars in case you need to hold on. My other advice is, the location instructions need to be updated. The condo is located at the end of the hallway, however you need to go down the stairs once inside and then 2030 is at the end of the hallway. Also, would be great if “Harbor Cove” was part of the description, as that is the name of the condo units. I will definitely stay again!
