The quiet neighborhood will help you enjoy star filled nights by the fire pit.
We have six camp and outdoori chairs, with outdoor and patio furniture including a hammock. This is your escape from the cities hustle and bustle but close enough to duluth,mn and superior, wi. OR a great base for north snd south shore activities or duluth and outdoor for your stay.
Jay Cooke Cottage invites all outdoor enthusiasts to partake in miles of mountain biking, biking, rollerblading, birding, hiking, nature trails, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, disc golf, horse trails, fishing, snowboarding, downhill skiing, rock hounding, kayaking, paddle boarding, great photography and much more.
Our kitchen is supplied with any utensil you would need to cook a meal for your whole family or group.
We have a coffee pot that brews by the pot or uses k-pods. If you wish to cook outside we have a charcoal grill and freestanding grill for over the fire pit.
The cottage was freshly redone in 2024 including local nature art, Himalayan salt lamps, secondary lighting, essential oil diffusers and a zen nature vibe.
