We were so excited to spend our 20th anniversary up on the North Shore with our 2 dogs. My wife and I took 3 days off work so we could relax and enjoy some family time. The 4 hour drive to Tofte was long, but we made it to the cabin. When we first entered the cabin, we were surprised to find an open circular stairway into the basement. There was a note that access to the basement was not part of the rental agreement, but there was no gate or method to avoid one of our dogs from falling down the steps. We barricaded the opening with our luggage and moved on. Once we were settled in and had dinner, we decided to get some rest from the long travel day. My wife turned the thermostat to 65 degrees as it was chilly. The gas insert in the freestanding fireplace lit and the light was a nice ambiance. We laid down to sleep, only to be jolted awake 30 minutes later by a loud noise from the main living area. My wife was terrified as were the dogs, and none of us go any sleep the rest of the night. Every time the fireplace would turn itself off, the metal on metal slamming noise would occur. I assume it was an automated draft control slamming shut in the chimney. At sunrise, we packed all of our stuff back into the van and drove 4 hours back home. Our nerves were frayed and the whole experience was far below our expectations.

The view is stunning. We loved the access to the rocks and water. Cozy cabin that had everything we needed. It was a little tricky with pups in April due to mud and trying to keep feet clean. But our stay was wonderful and easy. The owners warned us about a quirk with the fireplace, which was good to know because it is very startling when it starts.

This was a winter stay, and we were disappointed with our stay overall. The cabin was significantly smaller than the photos suggested. While the listing noted privacy and three acres of property, most of that acreage is on the steep cliff down to the lake and not usable. There are also neighbors within about 200 feet, so it did not feel particularly secluded.Although the property is dog-friendly, there was very limited space to walk a dog in the winter. The steps to the lake were completely inaccessible due to a five-foot snowbank created by plowing, so we were unable to access the water at all.The biggest issue, however, was the road access. At the top of the hill leading to the highway, there was about 20 feet of solid glare ice. Without all-wheel drive, getting out safely was extremely difficult. We ultimately chose not to return for the second night because we did not feel confident we could leave safely again.We attempted to contact the owner through VRBO as well as Cascade Vacation Rentals via electronic message and voicemail but did not receive any response from either.Unfortunately, due to the size discrepancy, limited usable property, winter accessibility issues, and lack of communication, this stay did not meet our expectations.
