Amazing Views, Lake Access, Close to Skiing, Parks, Bike Trail w/ Gar 4 BR/4 Ba

Summary:
Welcome to Loon Lodge on Lake Superior! Loon Lodge is a gorgeous townhome directly on 600' of Lake Superior pebble beach. Convenient Lutsen location close to skiing, hiking, adjacent to bike trail, 8 minutes to Lutsen Mtns, 5 min to golf course and 5 restaurants within 10 minutes. Grand Marais is 20 minutes down the road!

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 5 restaurants within 10 minutes of our north shore rental home such as Lutsen Resort 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!

Interaction with Guests:
Self check-in with electronic guidebook with arrival, stay and departure instructions. Text and phone support is available during your stay.

Loon Lodge
Our group of 4 have been going up to the North Shore for over 25 years. Staying at Loon Lodge was a great place to stay. We literally only needed to bring clothes and food for our stay. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed--spices, etc. The view was outstanding as Lake Superior was outside of the kitchen/living room as well as the master bedroom. We really enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend Loon Lodge.

Amazing family celebration!
My husband and I, my 2 adult kids and their others celebrated our son proposing to his girlfriend on the way up to Tofte! It was a pristine, inviting home for us to be together as a family! Loved the games, fireplace, decks, location, decor and appreciated the timely communication! The kids want to do it again!

Great for a Ski Weekend
This place was huge and easily fit three couples for a ski weekend. The view of Lake Superior from the house was beautiful and it was a quick drive to the Lutsen ski resort. We did have a mix up with the maid but after contacting the owner we were able to fix it right away. Would book again.

The unit was perfect for our visit; very clean; very easy to use and enjoy all the outside deck space! Well equipped so that we cooked most of our meals. The only negative was that the hot tub was out of service. The view of Lake Superior was gorgeous!

Wonderful Property!!!
This home was beautiful! We stayed with our adult children, grandchild and dog. The home had plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortable and room for people to find their own space. Each couple had their own bathroom to use and the kitchen had everything needed to cook a fabulous meal. The decks have beautiful views of the lake and sunrises. This is a fabulous property. We are headed back next year!

Great place, great location
We (3 couples) had a wonderful time staying at Loon Lodge. Very clean, almost everything that we needed in the kitchen, comfortable beds, and the view of beautiful Lake Superior cannot be beat. We did have some trouble getting in as the link to the online Guest Book that gave those instructions loaded to our devices so slowly that we didn't see the entry code at the very bottom of a long page. We'd suggest moving that, perhaps to a spot under the picture of the side door. We also found the coffee maker to be VERY complicated, in spite of detailed instructions in the Guest Book. None of those things would keep up from returning to Loon Lodge! It was fabulous!!!

Everything we wanted!
There were 6 of us staying 4 nights in July, 3 over 65, 2 nearly 50, and 1 teenager. Everything we wanted was available. The cabinets were labeled! The kitchen had everything we looked for. The view from the balconies was outstanding. The location was perfect for hiking and sightseeing. We all enjoyed the Split Rock Lighthouse. The younger people enjoyed hiking the falls and hills. It was a beautiful, unhurried, peaceful time and that was exactly what we wanted. We didn’t expect the weather to be so incredibly cool but, being from Texas, we considered it a treat since it was over 100 degrees back home. Everything about the North Shore visit was perfect!
