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

Formerly "Superior's Edge" Now "Superior's Joy" Under New Ownership with the same vision for a superior stay! Owner Denise Ramsdale & Host Barb Daugs are ready to serve you with over 10 years of 5-star first class customer service experience!

Book now to experience a rare find "boutique" vacation home "SUPERIOR'S JOY"! Our 350
5-star guest reviews speak for us that you will be thrilled you booked with us.

"Superior's Joy" an upscale North Shore retreat that is well-appointed and comfortable! It is in the desired town home community of Windsong Cottages enveloped down in a beautiful, quiet valley off of Highway 61 & Gichi-Gami bike trail at the edge of the charming town of Beaver Bay, MN. It boasts a commanding view of Lake Superior the largest freshwater lake in the US!

Our 607 Windsong Cottage is perched on a rocky ridge of the water's 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 backdrop, glistening on a sunny day! 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.

SECURITY:
We have Blink camera at the outside front door and one by the outside basement storage room door. We also have "one time use key code" for the Erental Lock System on the front door. This is the best security lock system as the code is never used again.

FURNISHINGS:

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

This "boutique" home features upscale furnishings such as Flexsteel electric reclining couch & comfortable Lazy Boy recliners. Also, famous Old Hickory Furniture that is typically found in iconic, upscale lodges and resorts since 1899 brings a quality and rustic comfort of a true North Shore retreat!

BED AND BATH ACCOMMODATIONS:

It accommodates up to six guests depending on what sleeping arrangements you are looking for. It has 3 private bedrooms that claim a bathroom for each.

Master Bedroom Suite - On the second floor. A truly romantic and beautifully appointed Suite that features Old Hickory furniture and beautiful décor. The prominent, king size bed highlights this room hosting a supremely comfortable - Plush pillowtop mattress with rich linens. The height of this bed allows you to see the entire panoramic view of Lake Superior out the bay windows that encase the complete front of the bedroom. There is nothing better than watching the sunrise/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.

Queen Suite - On 2nd floor. A favorite layout for two couples who 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 Old Hickory dining table & 4 chairs (2 folding chairs are in closet to seat six easily). 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 shoreline or being mesmerized gazing at Lake Superior and the beautiful sun/moon rises! This open layout provides constant enjoyment for everyone of beautiful Lake Superior!

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 (no 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 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:
Since 2014 we have served over 450 guests and many repeat guests. Our home has evolved into an upscale "boutique vacation home rental" thanks to all our guests and repeat guests we continue to keep this dream retreat alive! Our reviews speak to how clean and well cared for Superior's Joy is.

We pay well for our excellent cleaning team. We strive to use "most" cleaning products to be natural eco and human friendly. We manage our property ourselves and that has allowed us to keep this a well-maintained home. We have a maintenance man to take care of any issues that would need addressing right away so always text/call if an issue arises.

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. Where you can walk to local restaurants, ride bike trail, Ranger/snowmobile trails all right out our door!

Fantastic getaway spot sitting above the shores of Lake Superior right in Beaver Bay. The balcony was great for watching incredible sunrises and listening to the waves and birds. We appreciated the nicely equipped kitchen and comfortable living room seating.

Very nice place to stay! The view was amazing! Had everything we needed. Not much for food close by. I have to drive a little bit but as long as you plan ahead you will be fine. Things tend to close early, but that is nothing to do with the property it was wonderful!

Very nice cabin with a beautiful view of Lake Superior. Owners are very good at answering any questions and have very detailed guides of the area. We went snowmobiling from here and they have good trailer parking. Probably the most well stocked VRBO I've ever been to and extremely well organized. Would definitely go back!
