Park Point is the world’s longest freshwater sandbar (more than seven miles long) that stretches out into the largest freshwater lake in the world. Park Point, especially the beaches, are extremely popular in the summer - this is where the people are at! Some tourists enjoy taking the leisurely drive down Park Point to view some of the truly diverse architecture in the city. Though it can get a little congested, and you may get “bridged,” staying here means you’re never more than a few feet from the lake - or the Lakewalk, or bars, restaurants, shops and entertainment.

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?!

Airplane Tours - 2.4 miles
Check out a narrated tour of the Twin Ports in a Beaver seaplane! Soar over Duluth Harbor, Lake Superior, historic landmarks, iconic bridges, St. Louis River and more! Tours are available from June until mid October. Most trips are about 25-30 minutes. Sky Harbor Airport is at the end of Park Point.

Park Point is great for walking, biking, boating, and many other recreational means of transportation. Hop in your car for a drive up the North Shore. Call an Uber or Lyft while enjoying the nightlife of Canal Park and Downtown Duluth.

Beach - Steps Away!
Aerial Lift Bridge & Canal Park - 2 miles
Bayfront Park - 3.3 miles
Enger Tower & Park - 5 miles

*SNOW REMOVAL*
It snows here. It's very unpredictable but we do have snow removal that will be triggered with a 2" minimum. Please allow up to 12 hours after a snowfall to get out and plow/shovel as necessary. There is a shovel and salt located on the front porch and back deck for your use.

*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.

Guests may enjoy full privacy or interact with the owners (Steve & Mia) next door. While you are here, please make yourself at home! If you have questions, feel free to ask.

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!

We loved our stay at the lovely cottage house. What other reviewers said hold true - serene, comfortable and well appointed home perfect for a family or anyone looking to get away. Easy access to all the sights! Easy communication... they gave us privacy, but I knew I could contact them if I ever needed anything. Thank you!

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
