We ended up with rain during our stay which gave a foggy view, but we could still hear the water and it was heavenly. The place is beautiful and the accomodations were top notch.

Peaceful

Halsnoy Haven is a gem tucked just off Hwy 61 overlooking Lake Superior. It is extremely cozy and immaculate. We would definitely book this property again. It is in close proximity to many sights, trails and yet is very private. The bed was very comfortable.

This is a great home and gorgeous property - so glad we went above our usual budget to stay at it. The views from the living areas and porches were amazing and we were happy just enjoying that view! The home is comfortable, nicely outfitted and decorated. A treat!

Awesome week in Tofte

Beautiful location, quiet, right on Lake Superior. Well furnished, actually comfortable seating and bed, covered indoor and outdoor deck. Lots of birds migrating thru: hummingbirds, cedar waxwings, and more. Convenient to lots of waterfall hikes. Thank you!

Modern cabin on Lake Superior

Cozy but very stylish cabin. Loved the Scandinavian feel and decor; everything we needed was supplied. Location is not far from Grand Marais for suppers out. We enjoyed the sound of the waves and the beautiful views.

Get away before life takes off again!

The listing was spot on! The property was very well-maintained and clean and right on the shores of Lake Superior. The three seasons porch and the deck were incredible spots for morning coffee. The property is in very close proximity to excellent hiking and great dining. We will be back!

Simply exceptional

Halsnoy Haven is wonderful. Perfect accommodation for 2 people. The views are best of any place we've ever stayed on the North Shore including a180 degree vista with sweeping view south along the jagged shoreline with waves crashing. 3 seasons room for morning coffee, deck for evening wine- all looking out at sunrise and moon rise. And great location with quick access to Lutsen Ski Complex and to so many hiking trails. Ahhh!

Seeing Lake Superior by moonlight from the deck of a beautiful cabin is hard to beat. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the bike paths, hiking trails and nearby towns. Wonderfully clean and beautifully decorated. Highly recommend eating at The Angry Trout in Grand Marais.

Amazing home on Lake Superior

Excellent VRBO right on Lake Superior. The home is amazing! Super clean and updated, comfortable bed and close to Lutsen and Grand Marais. Sitting on the deck or in the enclosed porch and relaxing was my favorite thing to do. Can’t wait to visit again.

Breathtaking view of the lake!

My husband and I stayed for the weekend to take advantage of hiking at Temperance Gorge and kayaking at 4 mile lake. The cottage was clean, relaxing, and aesthetically pleasing. Loved the king sized bed and the views of the sunrise and sunset over the water.
