The gal at reception was absolutely delightful! We'd return just to see her, she felt like one of us sisters!
Great place, sublime location. We'll go back there again.
Just off the shores of Lake Superior, this Minnesota hotel offers a heated indoor poor and hot tub. A complimentary hot breakfast with waffles, eggs and muffins is served each morning.

Breakfast was better than expected--enough to fuel skiing at Lutsen.
We were placed on the second floor far away from the front desk and appreciated who quiet it was.

Love the view and proximity to the lake. The house was very comfortable, and the surrounding area was wooded and peaceful.

I have usually stayed closer to Grand Marais but I did like the Tofte location. I explored trails both south and north of Tofte and the stores in Lutsen are nearby. I also enjoyed the North Shore Winery and I was especially impressed by the Schroeder Baking Company as a food option. Other food options are available in Lutsen, Tofte and Schroeder that I may try on future trips. Overall I would consider Tofte or Lutsen as a top location for my next visit to the North Shore. The only downside is the distance from Grand Marais.

The resort is between Tofte and Lutsen.
The resort is between Tofte and Lutsen. The latter has more to offer vacationers with the ski resort and several dining options. However there are many resorts along the shore between the two towns. The gondola ride at Lutsen Mt to see the fall colors was exceptional. We had a good dinner at Blue Fin and a great, although pricey, dinner at Lutsen Resort. Both dining rooms had wonderful views of Lake Superior. A short day trip to Grand Marais was also fun. It's a trendy fishing village with shops, restaurants and other activities.

Located near the Temperance River and Temperance State Park for great hiking, lake shore picnicking, beach activities, fly fishing, and waterfalls. Tofte has a post office, Holiday station, gift shops, groceries, and several eating establishments. Our favorite was the Blue Fin for great food and fine dining. We stayed at Cliff Dwellers just north of Tofte where every room has a balcony on the cliff edge to view and experience the beauty of Lake Superior. Tofte is only a few minutes from Lutsen and an easy half hour drive to Grand Marais.

We love the North Shore of Lake Superior, with it's Big Water and little mountains - so like other places in N. America, and so unique at the same time! Tofte has wonderful food, other great lodging in the area (though spendy at other facilities), an interesting history and beautiful setting.
Tofte is close to most of what's available to do and enjoy along the "middle" of the North Shore, and a good base for hiking and day-tripping.

Our stay was during the Covid ordeal so restaurants were not open. We had planned for this and brought our own food. The hiking up various places around Tofte is worth the trip, especially liked hiking up (away from the lake) at Temperance River State Park.

Tofte is in the perfect location for visiting all the state parks on the North Shore. It is also a short distance from Grand Marais, and you can go to Betty's Pies on the way. You can rent bicycles and kayaks in Tofte and there is also a nice supermarket.
As the name implies, the Cliff Dweller on Lake Superior is located on a cliff high above Lake Superior and every room has a large balcony overlooking the lake. It was wonderful sitting on the balcony at sunset and having my breakfast there in the morning, and just as wonderful was falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing into the rocks below. On top of that, the staff were very friendly, the room was clean and appeared to be recently updated, and there was coffee and blueberry muffins in the sunroom in the morning.
Absolutely a “10!” Pride of ownership and management is a good way to describe Cliff Dweller. Our room was very updated & clean with nice beds, bedding, & towels. An extra bonus treat was delicious muffins & coffee in the lobby in the morning & was a great perk after skiing all day.
Manager, Angelia, is a pleasure to meet and chat with.
Thank you for a lovely stay! My husband & I travel a lot and we highly recommend Cliff Dweller for your next stay in Tofte, MN.
It would be hard to find a place with a better view. It was stunning. Very quiet and peaceful location. Rooms are small, but very clean, comfortable and have everything you need. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends as well. Location is great as it is between parks and only 25 miles to Grand Marais.
It was a nice stay. The rooms were clean and included a fridge for our water and snacks. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of sightseeing. This hotel is a great value for a room on the North Shore. It was close to the Lutsen Gandola and other sights. We'll stay again. The breakfast was a good start to the day.
Loved the views, the deck just out the door to watch the lake. And it was the perfect location for all the waterfalls and only about a half hour drive to Grand Marais.
