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 solo adventurers.

Inside the Cottage
Step into a bright and airy space where coastal charm meets modern convenience. The living area invites you to unwind with plush seating, a smart TV, and large windows that bathe the space in natural light. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for your culinary creations, complete with modern appliances and a dining area perfect for gathering.

Retreat to the cozy bedrooms, each furnished with premium linens and plenty of storage to make you feel at home. The bathroom features soft towels, luxury toiletries, and all the essentials for your stay.

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.

Why Guests Love Us

Immaculately clean and well-maintained space
Thoughtful touches like local guides, board games, and complimentary coffee
Proximity to both tranquility and adventure

Don’t miss your chance to create unforgettable memories at Bayview Cottage. Book your stay today and discover why guests return again and again!

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 for one dog under 50 lbs. 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?!

College roommate weekend
4 of us rented Bayview Cottage for our annual weekend. It was a cold and rainy drive from Minneapolis and we were delighted to walk in and find the fireplace on--we immediately felt at home. This is a gem of a house with visual delights in every room. Mia and Steve have anticipated every want and need and provided it! We are already planning our return.

Quality time with adult children
We shared a wonderful week with our young adult children in this very comfortable and very clean home. The setting was so beautiful! We all set alarms to enjoy sunrise at the beach and made certain to take a pause in our evening games to see the gorgeous sunset. The hosts were very responsive to questions before our stay. The house was the most well equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in! Every detail and need was anticipated. The host provided an informational binder with so many great resources related to the area. We were sad to leave and look forward to our next stay!

Great vibes at a great lake house
My friends and I had such a great stay at this charming lake house, just steps from the water and a short car ride to restaurants and shops. We loved the whole vibe of the lake house, the big kitchen, the deck, beach, and lawn, and the private dock. It was also great to be right across the road from a great path to the beach, and we also loved kayaking! The hosts were the best ever too. I highly recommend this charming spot... great vibes!

Girls Weekend
The Bayview Cottage on Lake Superior was the perfect place to celebrate girls weekend! From the well stocked kitchen to all the amenities, and large dinning room table to gather around and play games while enjoying great food , drinks, and lively conversation. Mia & Steve thought of everything and the environment and decor created a beach/Lake atmosphere. Agree, the spectacular sunsets did not disappoint!!!

Amazing cottage & even better hosts!
WOW! That’s about all I can say to describe our stay at Bayview Cottage on Park Point! We took our son on a snowy spring break & had the best time! I’ve never missed a place after getting home as much as I do the cottage! The cottage itself is so charming, full of history, warm, fully stocked with everything you could need & has very comfortable beds/linens/towels. Coffee, hot chocolate & tea are provided (which was so nice) plus snacks as well! Everything has been thoroughly thought out to make your stay comfortable & relaxing! The outdoors aspect was stunning, very clean & well decorated and perfect for our 11 year old son to play in all day, even in the blizzards we had! Lol. I can’t imagine how perfect it would be in the summer as well! I was so happy to meet Steve & Mia while we were there! They are the sweetest & made us feel like family. Steve even took my son on a tour of his lighthouse, which was a huge highlight of our trip. I highly recommend the cottage if you’re looking to explore one of the most beautiful areas of the US that I’ve seen & to be hosted by the nicest & most caring hosts I’ve ever encountered! Thank you so much for your gracious & warm hospitality, Steve & Mia! We hope to see you again very soon! The Dions

Gorgeous Harbor Hideaway!
Look no further, staying here is a slice of Lake Superior paradise. The house is more lovely in person and has the best sunset viewing. Our wedding took place at Park Point Beach House - we booked this property for my (the bride) parents to enjoy with family and friends. They had a magical time & loved every minutes of their stay! The craftsmanship and decor that Mia and Steve have carefully placed in their home, makes it so welcoming, cozy, and well appointed with every amenity you could imagine. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mia & Steve - they're communication was prompt, kind, and flexible. We loved working with them and hope to stay again very soon. Thank you!

This was the first time to Duluth and this property was so charming. From the beautiful landscape to the great view of the lake, Mia and Steve have created a gem. We could not have asked for a better location and more hospitable hosts. Mia's talent for decorating and Steve's creativity with the drift wood and photography, made this a wonderful place for all 7 of us adults to relax and enjoy Duluth!

Beautiful and comfy cottage!
Steve and Mia are most excellent hosts and their bayside cottage is cozy, comfortable and beautiful inside and out! We enjoyed our 3-night’s stay so much! We were celebrating me and my twin sister’s birthday with family from Amsterdam, Brooklyn NY and the twin cities. We were all impressed with beautiful surroundings. One had only to think of something we needed (like a bandaid), and it would be found in short order. Nine of us fit around the big dining room table for dinner each night. We canoed in the bay. Slept in the hammocks. Sat on the dock to watch the sunset. Sat in the lovely shad garden admiring the driftwood and reading our books. The lift bridge camera was a favorite to view on the big screen TV. We listened to Bob Dylan on the sound bar. The 2 bathrooms came in handy for the 7 of us staying at the cottage. The shower was excellent and there were plenty of towels. My son and his girlfriend joined us directly from camping in Grand Marais and were very thankful for the washer and dryer. Plenty of parking in the driveway or in the street. We spent an afternoon at the beach across the street and even took a walk after dark to hear the waves and view the Big Dipper! It’s was so splendid. Such a special place to gather with our family. Thank you Steve and Mia!
