The Space:
THE HOME
The interior of Loon Lodge on Lake Superior leaves nothing to the imagination as to where you are; on the north shore of Lake Superior. Nearly 2,700 square feet of living space on 3 levels is adorned with hand-made log furniture and other creature comforts only a newer home can bring.
Gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, two gas fireplaces, upper and lower TV areas with satellite TV/DVD/VCR (and movie library) as well as a game area allow large groups to each have their own space or couples have plenty of room to roam.
SLEEPING
All 4 bedrooms have a dedicated bath and the owner's suite has a two person 'Jacuzzi' whirlpool that overlooks the lake for romantic evenings or soothing sore muscles after an invigorating day of skiing, biking or hiking.
Guest Access:
All guests will have access to all living areas, the garage and common area of the association (including 600' of Lake Superior lakeshore). We do, however, limit access to bedrooms and bathrooms for smaller groups. This allows us to keep cleaning fees down, which we pass onto you.
If your group is:
-3 or less you'll have 2 bedrooms/baths open (owner's suite upstairs and main floor).
-4-5 you'll have 3 bedrooms/baths open (owner's suite, main floor and chose between the upper level bed/bath or lower level bed/bath.
-Groups of 6 - 8 automatically have all 4 bedrooms/baths open.
If you'd like to open up an extra bed/bath that is not automatically included with your group size, you can pay a one-time cleaning fee of $75 + tax for each bed/bath combination. This is a one-time fee not a nightly fee.
The Neighborhood:
Loon Lodge on Lake Superior is located in the heart of the Lutsen/Tofte area. The Gitchi Gami bike trail is accessible from our driveway and the Onion River Road with access to hiking, mountain bike, cross country ski, snow shoe and snowmobile trails is less than 1 mile from the home.
We have 600' of Lake Superior pebble beach accessible by a staircase in the northeast corner of the property. There are multiple locations for a campfire too!
Getting Around:
We have parking in our garage for 1 car. Another car can park in front of the garage. Overflow parking is available on the upper driveway. You can bike as far north as Ski Hill Road/Superior National Golf course/Lutsen Lodge and as far south as the town of Schroeder on the Gitchi Gami trail. It's also a great place to run and walk :-)
Other Things to Note:
THINGS TO DO
**We have direct access to the Gitchi Gami Bike Trail. You can bike to the Temperence River state park and hike the waterfalls without getting in your car!**
The north shore offers something for each season. Skiers are welcomed home with in-floor heat on each level providing your feet and body with the most luxurious heating system available. Groomed cross country ski trails are less than one mile away and Lutsen Mountains are 6 miles away for easy access. Our insulated, attached garage is a convenient place to store all your ski equipment and car.
Stay cool during hot summer days with Lake Superior's natural air conditioning or travel a few miles inland and enjoy area lakes for fishing or boating. Superior National Golf Course is only 3 miles away and offers 27 of the most visually stunning (and quite challenging!)holes in the Midwest.
Enjoy 3 restaurants within 10 minutes of our north shore rental home such as the Coho Cafe and Blue Fin in Tofte MN.
Grand Marais MN is a 20 minute drive down the shore and has many unique shops to satisfy even the biggest shoppers. Take a pick of some fabulous cuisine while in town and enjoy the views of the harbor.
Don't forget about spring blossoms, hikes along streams bloated by spring rains and unmatched fall colors in the Boreal forest. April and November are great quiet times to curl up and read a book by the fire and listen to the waves on the shore when you just need some time to yourself.
Take advantage of everything the area has to offer or stay in and do nothing at all. Either way, Aspenwood has what you are looking for!
