Had a greet long weekend in this beautiful home. Loved the view! Great location! Enjoyed hiking and being outdoors. Grilled, enjoyed the fireplace, sat out on the patio, had great time.
Enjoyed a fabulous stay! The home is top notch with everything you need for a family outing. The spectacular view of Lake Superior was hard to leave. Definitely will return again.
This was our third time staying at this property. The townhouse immaculate, the kitchen was well appointed, loved the gas fireplace, and had stunning views of Lake Superior.The only thing our group missed was a coffee pot. We are all morning coffee drinkers and would have preferred a pot of coffee instead of the Kuerig one cup.We will definitely come back in the future,Camp Coco checked all the boxes for my friends and me.Nancy D
Along with my husband we stayed at John & Laurie’s lovely condo for a few nights for a snowmobile trip. The condo was very clean, with extremely comfortable beds, pillows, and bedding. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with good quality pans, tableware, etc. There was a terrible ice storm preventing us from leaving the condo yesterday but we greatly enjoyed a day of catching up, enjoying the spectacular views, comfy furniture and the warmth of the fireplace. The location is ideal, very quiet, on the water’s edge, and next to Cove Point Lodge. We enjoyed dinner there one evening and their massive fireplace after dinner, having it to ourselves. Many thoughtful touches throughout. We intend to return again next year. Brad & Deb
Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend. This condo looks directly on Lake Superior through the many windows of this corner unit. Comfortable seating for the 5 of us both in the living area and dining table. The bedrooms had extremely comfortable mattresses which made for a good night's sleep. Communication with John, the owner, was spot on. All questions answered and a phone call away if needed. Well stocked kitchen, dishes, glassware. We highly recommend this condo to be your next vacation place on the North Shore in MN!
Everything you needed with a beautiful view! We all enjoyed having our own room and bathroom during this stay as well as a large living room to gather for meals and storytelling. Loved the view of Lake Superior.
Beautiful unobstructed view of Lake Superior from both upper and main levels and from the private deck. Plenty of space for six people to enjoy time to themselves or family activities.
This was a nice place to stay and well-located. Just want to highlight we appreciated the mobility aids in the main floor bathroom and that there was a bedroom on that level.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The views are beautiful and the house is well stocked and very clean. We appreciated the access to the pool. We would gladly stay again.
The property is beautiful with wonderful views of Lake Superior. It was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I also have to give 5 stars to Barb, who manages the property. From the very beginning of our booking , she reached out with an abundance of information regarding great places to eat and visit. We really appreciated all that she did to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable!
House was clean and comfortable - communication with the host was great. Perfect location to allow for exploring the many sights along the north shore.
This was a great home base for our vacation, close enough to two harbors and also Lutsen and waterfalls to the northeast. Great amenities and spectacular view
Amazing property with outstanding customer service!! Already looking forward to returning.

Kelley, Thank you for your review as it lets those deciding if they should book with us. Thank you for your kind regards on my service. I really appreciate hearing that. I absolutely love what I do. I love the north shore, enjoy people and enjoy hospitality --- and it is so cool managing John and Laurie's stunning home with the beautiful views!! I have a home next to theirs I rent as well. For those reading - Our goal for both places is going beyond the ordinary vacation rental to an upscale vacation home experience. Providing guests with upscale beautiful homes that offers excellent customer service, to a clean home that shines. We have an excellent team and all of us enjoy what we do. We care about our guests experience - we hope we wow them so we are the first place they want to book the next time they are on the shore! So I am so very happy you are coming back and to hear outstanding. Do book early as we wouldn't want to miss hosting you again. Our places have been booking sooner each year. Thank you for taking care of their home and thank you for your business! Blessings, Barb Daugs Hostess
This was our 4th time to Camp Coco. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. Great location, beautiful views, comfortable beds, and the most friendly and responsive property manager you'll ever "meet". Can't wait to return!
Relaxing and enjoyable weekend for the family. Accommodations were perfect for us. The views of and pristine sounds from that beautiful Lake Superior were just what we needed.
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!
