At Takka, we celebrate community, cherish friendships, and honor the power of connection. Our team, driven by a passion for these values, is committed to bringing the Takka spirit into your life, all while embracing nature and sustainability at our core.
Takka's roots are deeply woven into the fabric of family tradition, with our founder, Jason, and his partner, Lynn, finding inspiration in the weekly saunas of Jason's childhood. The discovery of Takka’s first property was a serendipitous moment, leading to the creation of a lakeside sanctuary. Here, we've crafted a space that not only boasts breathtaking views but also offers a tranquil retreat to the waters of Lake Superior.
