Cozy Lakeside Retreat – Steps from Beach & Close to Duluth Attractions

Experience Lakeside Bliss at Bayview Cottage on Park Point

Nestled on Duluth's iconic Park Point, Bayview Cottage offers a serene escape just steps from Lake Superior’s sandy shores. Our 5-star-reviewed retreat is thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation, making it perfect for couples, families, or group getaways.

Inside the Cottage
Our fully equipped kitchen boasts stunning bay views, perfect for whipping up meals while enjoying the fireplace glow. Gather around the spacious, handcrafted table in the dining room; unwind in the living room; or explore the den adorned with books and local artifacts. Upstairs, a crowd-favorite playroom with games, toys, and books—loved by all ages!

The main level features a king bed with convenient access to both bathrooms, while upstairs, two queen bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat with knotty pine walls and vaulted ceilings, creating a cozy Northwoods vibe. Each bedroom is furnished with premium linens and ample storage for a comfortable stay. The bathrooms include soft towels, luxury toiletries, and all the essentials to help you unwind in style.

Outdoor Oasis
Step outside and be greeted by a private deck where you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets. The spacious backyard offers plenty of room for outdoor games or stargazing under Duluth's clear skies. Relish moments on hammocks or a double swing by the bay. Explore the beach area with Adirondack chairs, or embark on adventures right off of the dock with complimentary access to a canoe, kayak, fishing gear, and snowshoes.

Perfect Location
Bayview Cottage puts you in the heart of everything Duluth has to offer. Walk to nearby beaches, explore Park Point’s trails, or enjoy a short drive to Canal Park, home to boutique shops, restaurants, and the famous Aerial Lift Bridge.

PET- FRIENDLY
We adore well-behaved pups! Housebroken and furniture-free stays ensure comfort for all. Bowls, towels, doggy bags and even blankets are on us! Cozy bedding provided, but bring your pup's crate for alone time. There is a $125 pet fee, one dog allowed per stay. Let us know if your furry friend is joining for pre-arrangements. We can't wait to welcome both of you!

BRIDGE SCHEDULE
Please allow yourself extra time to get around if venturing off Park Point and into Canal Park as you may get “bridged”. The Aerial Lift Bridge goes up every half hour on the hour from Memorial Day to Labor Day, it also goes up when ships enter or exit the port. You can download the free MarineTraffic app or go to HarborLookout to find ship location & schedule.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have access to the entire home, beach, dock. Basement, garages, and sheds are off limits. The driveway provides 3 private parking spots and free street parking. Be sure to read the signs for alternate side parking.

GUEST INTERACTION
Guests may enjoy full privacy or interact with the owners (Steve & Mia) next door. Steve is a third generation Park Pointer and is full of historical data and folklore. Just a message, a phone call, or a wave away!

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
Lafayette Park & Beach - Across the Street
Take advantage of the 7 mile beach/playground/tennis & basketball courts across the street! Grab the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, beach bag, and picnic basket from the cottage and make it a day!

Park Point Beach & Beach House - 2 miles
A couple miles down the point from the cottage you’ll find a large recreation area and beach with a lifeguard on duty during the summer season, Park Point Beach House, playground, sand volleyball courts, a pavilion with grills, and a small airport.

Minnesota Point Walking Trail - 2.4 miles
At the airport, the secluded Minnesota Point Walking Trail begins and runs parallel to the lone runway. The trail then meanders all the way to the tip of the peninsula, passing 200 year-old red and white pines along the way. You can take the same trail back or do what we like to do and take the beach route. The question is....do you choose the bay or the lake side?!
