Property details

Luxury meets location in this spacious home on Lake Superior's North Shore. Stone's Throw Retreat is located on a peaceful stretch of Lake Superior shoreline just outside the town of Tofte, Minnesota. This immaculate home features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, two open living areas (with Lake Superior views!), plus an incredible shoreline area. This gorgeously renovated home is perfect for a family retreat or a friend's getaway on the North Shore. In both the main and lower level living rooms you can enjoy curling up in front of the wood-burning, stone-surround fireplace on a cold winter's night. Yes, there are two in this home! Not to mention a cozy reading nook off of the kitchen. This home truly has so much to offer inside, but just as much outside! Take a stroll on your private lakeside boardwalk! The outdoor area really makes the house shine! The home sits on over 200 feet of shoreline, with over 100 feet being easily accessible through a series of steps and boardwalks right down to the ledge rock. Light a fire in the shoreside fire pit and just enjoy a relaxing getaway in this beautiful and private setting. The home also features two lake-facing decks and a private balcony off of the master bedroom. Enjoy a summertime BBQ on the deck with the gas grill. Or just sit back in a chair with your morning coffee and enjoy the sunrise over Lake Superior. Stone's Throw Retreat is a beautiful year-round rental. Perfect for summertime getaways, fall leaf change visits, or wintertime ski trips. Please Note: This property is getting new exterior paint and the home will now be blue. The photos still show the old exterior paint colors and will be updated soon.

Stone’s Throw Retreat is truly a retreat. Right on the shore of Lk. Superior with amazing views. Everything and more is accurate in the description of this amazing property. Multiple level decks, grill, tables, flowering landscape on shore side, easy walk down maintained stair cases to waters edge including fire pit. Inside the cleanliness was top of all Air BNBs we’ve stayed at. Fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook. Only suggestion is this is a rental property so if you intend to cook, bring spices, oils, ect that you enjoy. Jetted tub was a pleasure. 😏 Seriously not to be missed is Coho Grill which is a 1/4 mile west of the house. As a chef, I was blown away by the menu including GF, Vegan, and amazing options! If the tomato bisque is offered don’t miss it. Adjacent to Coho is a great high end shop for gear, clothes, trinkets, and a great spot for gifts for yourself or to bring for others. Been all over the US and this is top 5. Don’t miss it!
