Perfect for all; families, couples, girlfriend getaway. We were on the water and even though mother nature wasn't the most cooperative, hearing the waves is to delightful and restful. We took advantage of the Spa facilities and really enjoyed them. This was a late fall getaway and not all the local restaurants were open but we planned for it and... More

If you want a 3 level place to stay with family and friends, this is the place! You are literally ON the water and you wake up to the most beautiful sunrises and wave sounds you can imagine. The units are very clean, updated and modern......there is great restaurants nearby and the golf courses are equally great. Highly recommend!

Whether it's hiking, gourmet dining or just enjoying a beautiful view you can find it at Bluefin Bay. The spa is very nice and their Spring and Fall wine dinners are as well. It's a great place to get away.

We've stayed at the Bluefin several times over the past couple of years. From an overnight stay to a 4 day mini-vacation. We've stayed in several different styles of rooms (from Hillside to Suite) and have to say that we've never been disappointed. First, the website is easy to navigate and use. Finding room rates and suitable styles may take... More

As always, our unit was clean and well supplied. Cooks should bring their own sharp knife. Beds are comfortable and views of the lake are impressive. We enjoyed visits to the bar and the service and drinks are great. This time we had only one meal at the Grille and it was excellent. My travel partner enjoyed a fish sandwich... More

This was our first time staying at the property and first time in the Tofte, MN area. The whole family enjoyed everything about the resort (service, location, room, etc). We were originally planning on going to Lutsen but never made it there because we enjoyed Bluefin so much and everything that it has to offer. Hope to visit again soon!

I came to the bluefin with my girlfriend for a romantic night! Not what we got! I am from St.johns Newfoundland and have worked in tourism for 7+ years so I know a thing or two about costumer service. To start we were charged for the room( full price) a week before we when there. Then we were disappointed with... More

This is a difficult response to write because the recollections of our staff people and the notes they made while interacting with this guest vary quite a lot from what the guest recounts. I apologize for whatever inconvenience this guest experienced. We will do our best to avoid mechanical problems with our accommodations and to improve the service we offer... More

We have stayed a Bluefin Bay (and its related property, Surfside) and have always enjoyed our stay. The location is wonderful, very convenient to excellent hiking trails on Minnesota's North Shore. The property we stayed in this time (one bedroom with kitchen) is starting to show a little age, but it's still a very nice and comfortable place to stay.... More
