Property details

Do you like Tiny Homes? Hop on board with the Tiny House craze and book your stay at Superior Escape in Tofte, Minnesota! This tiny home offers big adventure on Lake Superior's North Shore. Located a short walk from Tofte Park, a public boat launch, and a beach area. This home sits on a 4-acre wooded parcel with no visible neighbors. You will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere without having to drive there. More About the Home Superior Escape is a darling one bedroom, one bathroom tiny home built by Escape Traveler- an elite tiny home company that has been featured nationally on HGTV and other television shows. Superior Escape is the first Escape Traveler Tiny Home located in Minnesota and takes some inspiration from the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright! The home features a full kitchen with full-sized appliances, a dining area with room to seat four guests, and a cozy living room. More Than a Tiny Home Although it's a tiny home, the layout and use of space make the home feel spacious with room to unpack your belongings and enjoy your stay. An on-demand water heater ensures that you will never run out of hot water. Although not directly on the lake, you are close enough to hear the waves splashing against the shoreline. Open your windows in the summer and enjoy the sounds of the Lake. We recommend Superior Escape in Tofte for a couple or a family. There is only one bed and the other two sleeping areas are futons in the living room area. There is limited privacy and space may be a bit tight for 4 adults. This home also has some ADA compliant features including an exterior ramp and shower with a seat that would make it a nice property for someone with a walker/cane or other mobility issues. Bedroom/Bed Sizes Bedroom  - Queen Sleep Number Bed Living Room - Full Futon and Twin Futon Bathroom Walk-in Shower with Seat Area Information Superior Escape in Tofte is a great home base for many North Shore adventures. In the summer months, you are just a short drive away from miles of hiking and biking trails, including the Gitchi Gami bike trail and Temperance River State Park. In addition, you are just 10 minutes from the Superior National at Lutsen Golf Course. Head inland to the Carlton Peak area in the fall to take in the beauty of leaf change season on the North Shore. In the winter months, you are just a 10-mile drive from the Lutsen Mountains Ski Area (also a great summer destination with an alpine slide and sightseeing gondola) and have easy access to miles of snowmobile trails (plus plenty of room for a trailer). Adventures Await! In the spring, a short drive to any of the area state parks will bring you to amazing waterfalls that truly come to life during the "waterfall season" every spring. Looking for more adventures? Visit Sawtooth Outfitters for ideas of where to go, what to do, and to rent the gear you need to do it- you're within easy walking distance! If you are craving a bite to eat, hop in the car and head up the shore and check out some of the great restaurants in Lutsen and Grand Marais. Many feature live music from popular local artists throughout the summer. You can also just stay home and enjoy the 4-acre property and close proximity to Tofte Park. The home is bright and welcoming, you may not want to leave once you arrive!

The Tiny Home is hardly tiny. It’s a perfect cozy spot to get away from it all and be close to everything the north shore has to offer. The cabin is immaculate and immersed in nature. Great spot to walk along the shore and to the Coho cafe for some great food. Great find on short notice and great communication.

Superior Escape was the perfect North Shore getaway. Feels like you're alone in the middle of nowhere, yet walking distance from Bluefin Grill / Coho Cafe and grocery options. This tiny home is so well designed, despite it's small literal size, it feels as spacious and homey as anywhere we've stayed. It's the perfect spot to come back and unwind after a day of adventure. We'd highly recommend this property!
