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 need’s of the travelers who wants to see it all. Or, remain in this beautiful section of the shore and enjoy the many premier Minnesota favorite destinations near us.

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!
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.
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
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.
Nice to spend a long weekend at such a lovely property with our adult “kids” and their spouses. Clean, well appointed. Spectacular view of the big lake!
We had a great time during our stay. The communication with the property manager was great. The layout of the unit was perfect and the beds were very comfortable. We love the location as there are lots of get hiking trails and things to do in the area. We would recommend this place for anyone looking for a family friendly VRBO!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended this property to friends. Spacious and comfortable with unimpeded views of Lake Superior. We will be back!
We had a fantastic weekend with family. Your property was well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. The views are awesome overlooking the lake.
We had family of all ages. The space was great. The grandkids enjoyed the indoor pool. The outdoor deck was a great space and the views were great. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
This was the perfect place for our long weekend get away. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. We loved the decor, and the kitchen was well stocked! Any questions we had were answered almost immediately. We are ready to book again!
Took my family up north to celebrate my mom's birthday! Had a fabulous weekend. The views of the lake are spectacular and their home is furnished with everything you will need. We are looking forward to booking again😊
This was an incredible home overlooking Lake Superior--incredible views! It was spotlessly clean and had the most well-stocked kitchen of any of the many places we've stayed. Communication with the owner was quick and steps were immediately taken to solve one minor issue.
Many hiking trails are nearby as well as other things to do. We will definitely be back!
The home was beautiful. The view is like none other. Would go back in heartbeat. Perfect home base location for going further north or south to explore. Communication was fantastic. The recommendations in the welcome book were nice to have. Would recommend!
Every part of our stay was fabulous. The communication was fast and detailed. The home was very clean and just like the pictures showed. The location was perfect for us - close to the SxS trails and easy to access restaurants. We had to park our trailer up the hill from the property but it wasn't a big deal at all. Very accommodating. Overall, would highly recommend this property!
Three retired couples stayed for 3 nights. Condo was just what we needed and it had everything. Deck is very nice to sit on and just watch the big lake. Kitchen was well equipment. Some members of our group used the sauna and it worked well.
Property was very well appointed and spacious. Master suite was excellent. Views from deck, living room and master suite were breathtaking. Kitchen had everything for cooking. Lots of eating flatware! Great experience overall. Would highly recommend!
