Come and enjoy our cottage in the woods on Jay Cooke Rd just outside official park markers.We are in a rural area in the small town of Esko, MN where there are acres between most properties boasting privacy giving you the out of town park feel.
Bring your camera you will be in the middle of the Northlands autumn beauty between the property, jay cooke state park, spirit mt, or the scenic drive you will be sure to see autumn bliss right in the neighborhood. We love to help give pointers with photography gems.
Out the door and to the right a few minute walk and you will find the superior hiking trail.and the munger trail as well.
Check out the COGGS trail system at mission creek 6.6 miles away from Jay Cooke cottage and all the other amazing COGGS trails in the Duluth area.
With a quick 20 minute drive on I35 you can get todowntown Duluth and closer yet to the craft district. It's the perfect distance to feel out of town and up north but close enough to hit dinner and a show in Duluth.
The tall pines surrounding the acre property help you enjoy quiet star filled nights by the fire pit. We have six camp chairs, outdoor patio furniture, and a hammock.
We are 20 minutes from earth rider brewery.
Jay Cooke invites all outdoor enthusiasts boasting areas for kayak/canoeing, hiking, biking, inline skating, fishing, hunting, and some of the best scenery in Minnesota.
Staying in our cottage will give you the benefits of getting away "Up North" with the comforts of home. Our two bedrooms both have queen beds and linens as well for a queen sized futon in the living room.
We are a kid and dog friendly cottage. Esko is on the outskirts of Duluth in a very safe and family friendly neighborhood. The community boasts large acre properties with lots of privacy. There is a shortcut to Duluth through the jay cooke state park down to chambers grove park by mission creek and the boy scout boat landing
We offer free *fat wood* to assist you in getting a great fire going and enough wood for a few more.
Our kitchen is supplied with any utensil you would need to cook a meal for the whole family. Please notice when you are here that there is a cupboard stocked with kitchen utensils and dishes seperate from the other cupboards in the kitchen.
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.
We also have a digital antenna with local channels and other popular channels for TV and a small library of some of our favorite dvds.
Our cottage does not have any cameras anywhere on the property to ensure privacy for you and yours.
If you want to experience the ultimate 'up north' vibes by practically being in Duluths closest state park then our jay cooke cottage is meant for you!
We truly enjoy helping others discover their perfect northern minnesota vacation and take pride in this area residing a few miles away.
We look forward to having you come and enjoy our Jay Cooke Cottage.
