Boutique Luxury On Lake Superior! Stunning Views*Sunrise/Moon*Waves*Romantic*

Come and experience a "boutique" vacation home! "SUPERIOR'S EDGE"

Our upscale North Shore retreat is well-appointed and comfortable! It is in the desired town home community of Windsong Cottages enveloped down in a beautiful valley off of Highway 61 at the edge of the charming town of Beaver Bay, MN. It boasts a commanding view of Lake Superior the largest fresh water lake in the world!

Our Windsong Cottage is perched on a rocky ridge of the waters edge and pebbled with beautiful trees beneath the deck! Come and unwind as you soak in the soothing sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks right in front of our home.

As you drive down into the protected valley of the Windsong Cottages, you experience the peaceful community of these town homes, with Lake Superior as the back drop, glistening on a sunny day! You immediately notice these cottages are up-scale, hand crafted homes that are aesthetically landscaped, well maintained and you feel you are in for a nice vacation experience.

Our 1570 square foot vacation home is nestled in the community of lake front Windsong Cottages which boasts some of the best unobstructed views of the Lake.

FURNISHINGS:

Our cottage’s décor has style encompassing many elements of the theme of Lake Superior, its many moods, and the surrounding woods.

We have uniquely furnished our home with upscale furnishings like Flexsteel Couch & Chairs purchased 2021. The couch is electric reclining & reclining chairs. The Old Hickory Furniture that is typically found in iconic, upscale lodges and resorts since 1899 brings a quality and rustic comfort that makes our vacation home feel like an upscale North Shore retreat.

BED AND BATH ACCOMMODATIONS:

It accommodates up to six guests depending on what sleeping arrangements you are looking for. It has three private bedrooms that claim a bathroom for each.

A truly romantic and beautifully appointed Master Bedroom Suite features Old Hickory furniture and north woods lodge décor. The prominent, king size bed highlights this room hosting a supremely comfortable - Black Beauty Plush pillowtop mattress with rich linens. The height of this bed allows you cuddle on the bed and see the entire panoramic view out the bay windows that encase the complete front of the bedroom. There is nothing better than watching the sunrise or moon rise from your bed! The suite features a Jacuzzi tub at the windows edge for retreating into after a long day on the shore. There is an adjoining bathroom with heated floors, a closet, and attached toilet/shower room.

Second Floor Queen Suite - A favorite when two couples come to the shore to each have their own private suite. This bedroom features an upscale richly designed room that exudes the feel of the North Shore. A comfortable, queen sized Old Hickory log bed with matching large dresser with many drawers. An adjoining, full private bath with heated floors, tub/shower combo.

Third bedroom - on the main level home. Small private room, with a comfortable Queen sized bed. The bed is closer to one wall by the window. A closet and suite case table. This bedroom has a bathroom located just outside the bedroom with heated floor, and shower.

LIVING ROOM - DINING - KITCHEN:
Alas---walk down the hall to a "grand view" out the large, floor to ceiling windows showcasing Lake Superior back drop to the open design of the kitchen, dining, and living rooms.

Truly an upscale "North Shore" retreat! Old Hickory & Flexsteel furniture, and our new Amish Dining Table with 6 ergonomic chairs, Amish bar stools, tasteful artwork. Our guests say they love the homey feel relaxing in the living room surrounding the fireplace to sit in comfort and talk about their wonderful day on the shore. Loving the ambiance of the sound of crashing waves on our shore or being mesmerized gazing at Lake Superior and the beautiful sun/moon rises! No matter if you are In the living room/deck/or master bedroom!

The kitchen features granite counters with handsome Hickory cabinets. While preparing food at the counter facing the lake, you have access to the sink (with disposal), and the bar height counter to visit with your family and friends seated on the other side.

The kitchen is complete with a dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, full size stove/oven, and microwave. It is organized & well appointed with the pots/pans/bakeware to make your meals. We provide various basic spices to aide in cooking your delicious meals. We provide coffee beans, various teas, hot chocolate.
We provide tin foil, plastic wrap, zip lock bags, paper towels and dish/hand/dishwasher soaps, kitchen towels. The cupboards are filled with nice white porcelain dishes, drinking glassware, wine glasses and pretty flatware that make a lovely up-north table. You can enjoy your meal at the dining room table or out on the deck table to revel in the panoramic view and entrancing sounds of Lake Superior!

OUR PHILOSOPHY:
After many years of vacationing on the North Shore, we purchased this town home in December 2014. We know what we appreciated and looked for in the properties we have stayed at. Our home has evolved into a "boutique vacation home rental" thanks to all our guests and repeat guests we continue to keep this dream retreat alive! You will find a clean and well cared for vacation home.

We pay well for our excellent cleaning team. We strive to use most cleaning products to be all natural eco and human friendly. We manage our property ourselves and that has allowed us to have a well maintained home. We have a maintenance man to take care of any issues that would need addressing right away.

We decided to share our vacation home with others to offset the expenses of our dream retreat. We are looking for GUESTS WHO WILL PARTNER WITH US IN USING OUR HOME WITH CARE. It is our hope your experience with us will keep you coming back for many years!

OUR COMMUNITY:
We are part of a quiet community of 26 privately owned residential town homes that are not owned or operated by any resort, hotel or lodge. A vacation by owner rental allows travelers to experience a vacation out of the congested resort or hotel settings. You become part of our friendly community of owners and guests. We have a shared use building with a pool and sauna. Pool (open Memorial day to New Years) AND Sauna open Year round.

FANTASTIC LOCATION. LOCATION, LOCATION ---- TIME TO ACTIVITIES:
Our vacation home is centrally located just off Minnesota scenic North Shore drive Highway 61 and 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 needs of the travelers who want to see it all. Or, remain in this beautiful section of the shore and enjoy the many premier Minnesota favorite destinations near us. To highlight a few of the locations:

Lovely condo on the shores of Lake Superior
We had a lovely stay at a beautiful condo on the shores of Lake Superior. The property was wonderfully furnished and equipped with all necessities. We enjoyed coffee on the deck with its wonderful views. There was a lot to do in the area and we took advantage of the nearby golf courses and hikes. The leaves were beginning to turns an added benefit. The VRBO was perfect in every way. Many thanks for opening your vacation home to us.

We had a wonderful time (2 retired couples). We have stayed at this rental several times over the years. Barb and her husband Bob take care of everything so well. All you need to do is arrive with your clothes and any food items that you want. This unit is very comfortable and the views are beautiful. Barb is so helpful if you have any questions. And she always responds in a positive, timely manner. We know we will stay here again! Thank you Barb and Bob!
