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.

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 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.

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.

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!

North Shore Escape
We had a wonderful week overlooking Lake Superior from the property. The sunrises were spectacular. We also enjoyed the stars in the night sky, including a shooting star. The home is clean, comfortable, very well stocked and Barb's communication to ensure you have all the details needed for a great stay surpassed any other vacation rental we have stayed in. The property is located nearby many North Shore attractions and made getting around very easy. We enjoyed the deck and listening to the water when we weren't out hiking and taking in the sights. We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a home away from home in the North Shores.

Our stay was so perfect in every way! We are so thankful for the thoughtfulness of our hosts! They had everything absolutely beautiful, cozy, organized and easy to use! The views were absolutely stunning and breathtaking, especially with coffee on the deck at sunrise! The location is perfect-so close to so many things. Beaches are amazing! It was great to have a sauna after the beach in the pool house. We (best friends for 35 years) visit the north shore every summer and this is hands down the best place we have ever stayed! We will be back every year for sure!! Thank you for the best visit ever!!

Our family rented a lovely three BR/three BA townhome cottage in the Windsong Cottages community along the shores of Lake Superior in Beaver Bay, MN. The hosts were outstanding and attentive. The residence was extremely clean and well-equipped for our stay. The unit was about $500 less than a similar unit at a nearby resort. Grateful for this option and will recommend the property to friends and family.

Barb & Bob's home is incredible. This was probably the best rental home experience I have ever had. Amazing detailed communication beforehand & then Barb provided so many wonderful recommendations that we used daily! The house was just as described (even better!), it had everything you could want & more! And THAT VIEW! I was blow away by the entire experience & can't wait to come back. We had one question during our stay & Barb answered immediately & made sure we had what we needed right away. The North Shore is a beautiful place & this home makes it an even better experience.
