North Shore Minnesota cabin rentals, designed for rest.
Tofte Trails offers thoughtfully designed cabin rentals on Minnesota’s North Shore, set on 17 forested acres above Lake Superior. Each cabin is custom built using reclaimed barn wood, expansive windows, and warm, modern interiors that reflect the surrounding landscape.
Located near Grand Marais, Lutsen, and Oberg Mountain, Tofte Trails is designed for couples and solo travelers seeking a quieter, more intentional North Shore experience. Days are shaped by hiking, skiing, and time outdoors; evenings by dark skies, lake air, and slow moments back at the cabin.
More than a place to stay, Tofte Trails is a small, adults-focused retreat where design, nature, and pace come together — inviting you to disconnect, reset, and feel restored.
Crafted With Care
Built by a husband-and-wife team, every detail at Tofte Trails was designed with intention. From reclaimed barn wood and hand-poured concrete counters to locally made mugs and custom leather guides, our cabins reflect a deep respect for craftsmanship, sustainability, and community.
These spaces were created to slow you down — blending modern design with the warmth of old wood and the restorative pull of the North Shore.
