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!

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. 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!

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!
Note how close you are to access all these Hot Spots on the shore!!

Reviews
North Shore Comfort
Windsong 607 was our home for three nights. I have stayed in dozens of rent by owner accommodations and this one has the most fully equipped kitchen I have seen, including herbs and spices plus cooking oils plus plastic bags, etc. Plus, everything is labelled so you can't forget where it belongs. We cooked all of our meals there and the pots and pans were all adequate for our needs. The beds were all comfortable according to our party members and separate bathrooms for each bedroom is a definite plus. We were a party of three guys and the dining table was more than adequate for our needs. The location is awesome, with three great state parks within 15 minutes or so. Communication with the owners is top notch and they were very attentive to any questions we had about the condo. We heartily recommend this location and hope to be back soon.
Bill, How tickled we are to read your detailed review. Thank you for your time in doing that to help others see what "Superior's Joy" is really like in the eyes of our guests. It's so affirming to hear your thoughts as our goal has been met to put together a true "vacation home" experience that guests can have all the comforts of home and to keep things organized so we can all find things. Denise & Scott, the new owners as of Sept 2025 are excited to continue the dream retreat and have already brought so many wonderful additions to the home. Thank you for your kind regards on our communication as it's our goal to take care of our guests needs. I so agree with you on how nice it is being so close to 3 state parks, and it's the most dramatic area of shoreline on the North Shore for hiking, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, and UTV riding. It is especially exciting to host you all again - what great group of guests! Thank you for your continued business keeping this dream retreat going. Blessings to you all until we host you again! Barb Daugs Hostess for Denise & Scott at "Superior's Joy"
About host
Superior's Edge Vacation Rental Listing Site:
We are the former owners of "Superior's Edge" a 10 plus years successful vacation rental home on the North Shore of MN on Lake Superior. Our www.Superioredge.com website we have converted to a listing site for "ONLY" properties that have our "Superior's Edge" stamp of approval on them. Guests will know you will have the same quality of home and stay that you have come to experience staying at "Superior's Edge" these past 10 years.
Why the need for our philosophy of a listing site? As travelers it's hard-to-find consistency in vacation home rentals even if they are listed as a premier property. Our goal is to be a platform where you can connect directly with the owner and cut out all the fees that the mega listing sites have. Also, owners you have full control of your listing and the ability to connect with the guest. Add promotions that you want to give. A that platform takes your direct books payments direct to your account. And a network of owners like you to interact with.
Bob & Barb have now opened "NASHVILLE OASIS" a short-term rental. Nashville Oasis 4 Bed 3 Bath entire Home 30 MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN - 35 Nashville Airport
We look forward to hosting you for a "Superior Stay" at our wonderful owner's vacation homes they love!
We are always available to answer any questions Barb Daugs Owner/Consultant at 651-485-4492 or my better half and wonderful husband & Owner Bob Daugs 651-485-9051
