💕 Romantic Getaways & Adventure Honeymoons on Minnesota’s North Shore
Ranked as one of the most beautiful and thoughtful stays in all of Minnesota, you’ll find yourself not wanting to leave your gorgeous cabin and the 17 acre Tofte Trails property.
When most people think about honeymoons or romantic escapes, they picture beaches or all-inclusive resorts. But couples looking for something different — something more adventurous, intimate, and unforgettable — are finding their perfect getaway on Minnesota’s North Shore.
At Tofte Trails, our boutique nature hotel blends modern comfort with wild beauty, creating the ideal backdrop for both cozy romance and outdoor adventure. Here’s how to plan a honeymoon or romantic weekend that’s as unique as your love story.
🌲 Day 1: Settle Into Your Romantic Cabin
Check into your private cabin, tucked into a cedar and birch forest nestled above Lake Superior. Oversized windows, king-bed views out the 10ft sliding glass door, a cozy fireplace, and your own private Solo Stove on the patio set the scene for connection. Unpack all your gear into your heated adventure locker on the back of your cabin, pour a glass of wine, and start your getaway with a slow evening grilling on your patio or getting take out from one of the restaurants nearby.
🥾 Day 2: Adventure Together on the Trails
Morning coffee tastes better before a day outdoors. Make a delicious pour over coffee in your cabin with local Fika beans provided. Watch the binds roll up with a click of a button to stunning forest views. Head just minutes from your cabin to hike Oberg Mountain — one of the most iconic trails in Minnesota — with panoramic views of Lake Superior and the Sawtooth Mountains. Or wander through Cascade River State Park, where rushing waterfalls make a dramatic backdrop for photos and memories.
For couples who bike, Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area is just a short drive inland (our sister property) - with world-class red dirt trails and a redwood sauna that are perfect for a shared adventure.
Slow mornings are so special in the cabins at Tofte Trails. Stay snuggled in the king bed or set up the collapsable hand made oak table inside taking in the views. If its sip your coffee on the patio outside with the solo stove going, watching the trees sway in the distance.
Turn off your phones and be totally present together in the wild beauty of the North Shore. Pack a disposable camera so you can stay offline while still capturing your special getaway.
🌌 Day 3: Explore + Unwind
Take a drive along Highway 61 to Palisade Head, where towering cliffs meet sweeping lake views. Stop in Grand Marais for art galleries, local coffee shops, and a waterfront stroll. Back at Tofte Trails, light your fire pit, candle, soak in the quiet forest, and watch the stars emerge - the dark skies here are breathtaking and be sure to watch for Northern Lights! Take a steamy shower together in the spa inspired shower with double shower heads and a heated towel rack with robes.
Take your coffees in hand and walk to the base of our land via the trail and enjoy the views of Lake Superior amongst the towering pines and ferns on the forest floor. The scent of the forest and morning sun twinkling through the trees over the lake is simply magical.
Unlike any other cabin stay, almost everything in your Tofte Trails cabin was hand made or hand built along with carefully selected details throughout which help awaken all your senses while creating a warm embrace. Memories made here will last a lifetime.
☔ Bonus: Rainy Day Romance
If the weather turns, rainy days are just as magical. Snuggle in with a movie on the projector with the fire going, listen to the rain falling outside with the windows cracked and views through your 10-foot sliding glass doors, or sip Fika coffee or tea while the forest glows outside. Rain is one of the most magical experiences when staying at Tofte Trails. The cabins and 17 acre property are simply breathtaking.
Snuggle up in your luxurious king bed and watch your favorite movies after your rainy day hike. The screen drops with the press of a button over the 10ft sliding glass doors. Dimmable lighting throughout.
