Being right on the lake with these views creates an atmosphere of being on an Inland Sea. You experience the many moods of Lake Superior right out your window. The feel of the waves thunder along the rock face right below the deck and windows. It is so incredible to witness the power and blue beauty of our Minnesota treasure - Lake Superior!

We think you would agree there is nothing like having a North Shore vacation right on the lake! With a large enough deck to enjoy the lake! Also, a private deck with no other guests walking in front of your view of the lake.

You feel you are in for one great vacation!

SHARED USE BUILDING
We have a shared use building with a sauna. Sauna is open Year round. Our Pool is opened seasonally, (ask about availability).

FANTASTIC LOCATION ---- TIME TO ACTIVITIES
Our vacation home is centrally located just off Minnesota scenic North Shore drive - Highway 61 and is surrounded by some of the premier vacation state park destinations in Minnesota. The closest park being Split Rock Lighthouse which is one of the most visited and photographed lighthouses in the nation! It is hard to beat our location for travelers who want to be centrally located and capture “all” the shore has to offer.

We think you will agree, due to the nature of the shores length, if you are too far northeast or southwest you get trapped into only seeing part of the shore when you visit, but our location meets the need’s of the travelers who wants to see it all. Or, remain in this beautiful section of the shore and enjoy the many premier Minnesota favorite destinations near us.

Comfortable, well appointed 3 bedroom condo. Perfect location for day trips to both Duluth and Grand Marais. Unfortunately, no beach access, however the 100% unobstructed and private views of Superior made up for this. We would recommend and stay again!

Family Getaway

Beautiful place & perfect for my 79 years old mother! It has zero steps for entry into the home, kitchen, bathroom, living room & dining room. My mom loved her ability to navigate the home & sit on the deck (step free). We loved the views from the room upstairs. This home is beautiful! We will come again.

Beautiful views. Great location. Can't use wood fireplace in main area. Dog = allergies.

Overall, nice place to stay and great area for activities in winter--skiing snowshoeing, biking, hiking. Manager of property was very informative about the area and checked with us several time to assure all was going well. Very attentive which we liked. View of Superior is perfect. Wish we could have stayed longer. Next time.

Great location for exploring the beautiful North Shore. Barb was such a sweetheart host. She made sure we got in and had everything we needed. So responsive to all our questions.

Beautiful home in relaxing setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Windsong 606. The home is spacious and was sparkling clean upon our arrival. There was plenty of room to spread out with two teenagers. Also plenty of comfortable space to lounge. The large dining room table was big enough to have a puzzle on one end and still eat at the other end. The view is gorgeous and tranquil. The grounds are well kept and we had fun walking through the Cove Point Resort area and following the path out to the point. It was the perfect four night getaway for our family to take a break and relax. We had dinner the first night (Wednesday) at the resort restaurant. That was a treat to sit down and be served which we haven’t done in months. Also enjoyed lunch, shopping and custard in Grand Marais after hiking further up the shore. Barb is a first-rate hostess. Plentiful communication with helpful information before and during our stay. We would definitely recommend this rental home and hope to return again!

Just the Lake Superior views you want

Lovely place to hygge and holiday with our 3 generations. Great views and light during the day. Good setup when wanted togetherness, and Grandma loved her large suite to get her downtime too. * We stay at many VRBO’s, and this had one of the most well-stocked and well-organized kitchens anywhere. Great!* Pix make it look a little larger than real life but still is plenty roomy. * Communicative property manager on behalf of homeowners. * Lost new living room gas fireplace functionality during the week. * Quiet during the week, and then a little more noise as other renters around the complex came in during the weekend. * Could use brighter lighting for the evenings in the main level and master suite even on full brightness of rheostat. * Note that the sleeping is just as they list of 3 beds, no couch sleeping. If 2 of the guests don’t share a bed well or have a couple who separate in the night, there isn’t a good overflow option. Lovely memories made in a gorgeous location. We’d go back.

About the host

Hosted by John Boyland

Host profile image
We have owned "Camp Coco" as a vacation home for many years. We even spent a couple of years here as our full-time address. We love the fact that the small community of Windsong cottages are privately owned townhomes so we live among neighbors rather than strangers. Only a few of the Windsong properties are available for rental.
When we decided to make our main home in Florida, we thought that it would be a great idea to share our beautiful spot on Lake Superior with like-minded people who wanted to enjoy Minnesota's beautiful North Shore. We still visit often, but when we are not in residence, we enjoy sharing our beautiful spot with others.
We hope that you will enjoy our "cabin" and the scenic North Shore as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Living right on Lake Superior and living in the heart of the North Shore so you can see and do all the shore has to offer! "boutique" vacation home! Also the property is in a quiet community of upscale town homes in a valley off Hwy 61. This is an end unit! Being 6 minutes from Split Rock Lighthouse and 8 minutes to Tettegouche State Park.

What makes this property unique

End Unit right on the waters edge of Lake Superior *"Boutique" vacation home*Beautiful, Upscale private onwner's retreat * Awesome views of the lake * Wall of windows to enjoy the lake * Heart of the North Shore * 6 minutes from Split Rock Lighthouse * 6 minutes from Tettegouche State Park * 50 minutes from Duluth * 60 minutes from Grand Marais * Beautiful sunrises and moon rises or northern lights right from our lake front home * handicap accessible * clean * rich decor of an actual vacation home * fully equipped kitchen that works to cook a meal * secure key code entry * outside surveillance cameras * Quiet residential community
