“The private balconies overlooking Superior are the undeniable star here, offering a serene perch to simply watch the waves. Rooms, recently redone and impeccably clean, provide a comfortable, quiet base for exploring nearby trails and Tofte's surroundings. It's a place that encourages you to linger, to truly soak in the lake's presence.”
