Crafted With Care

Built by a husband-and-wife team, Tofte Trails was created with intention from the ground up. Reclaimed barn wood, hand-poured concrete, locally made ceramics, and custom details reflect a deep respect for craftsmanship, sustainability, and place.

These cabins were designed to help you slow down — where modern touches meet the warmth of aged wood, and the rhythm of Lake Superior gently pulls you back to yourself.
