Reconnect with family & friends while enjoying panoramic views of Lake Superior

Discover tranquility at Coveside Cottage, an idyllic retreat perfect for groups and families seeking relaxation and connection. This property offers an array of amenities including kayaks, paddleboards, outdoor games, hammocks, and more. The spacious patio invites you to savor coffee or cocktails by the fire table, enjoy meals al fresco with seating for 12. Bring your boat or pontoon and explore Ashland or Bayfield for ice cream and shopping.

Coveside Cottage boasts over 500 feet of shoreline with a private, sandy swimming beach and breathtaking views of Lake Superior’s Chequamegon Bay from nearly every room. The functional layout enhances the comfort and beauty of this lakeside haven.

The open-concept kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and entertaining. Features include a large granite island (seating for 8), a breakfast nook (seating for 4), a gas range, convection oven, dishwasher, and a refrigerator with an ice maker. You'll find all the utensils, pots, pans, bakeware, and small appliances you need, including a hand mixer and blender.

The living room is designed for relaxation with expansive windows overlooking the lake, ample seating, a queen-sized sleeper sofa, a wall-mounted Smart TV, and a DVD player. A gas fireplace adds warmth on chilly fall nights.

Note: Our home has several beds, so the listing platform shows “Sleeps 12.” However, due to county regulations related to bedroom count and septic capacity, we can host a maximum of 8 guests.

Because of this, the reservation system will not allow you to book with more than 8 guests listed. If you have any questions at all before booking, please feel free to reach out. We're always happy to help!
