You know the drive. North on 35, up the shore past Duluth, and somewhere along Highway 61 the week falls away. Bears Den Cottage #410 at Cove Point Lodge makes that weekend yours for good: your cottage, your fireplace, your stretch of Lake Superior. It feels like checking into your favorite resort, because you own a piece of it.
Bears Den pairs a private North Shore retreat with rental income potential through the resort's established program: reservations, front desk, housekeeping and marketing support offset ownership costs. #410 is currently enrolled with advance reservations on the books.
Owners must make the cottage available a minimum of 200 nights per year, including 100 nights June 15 through November 1. Revenue split 50/50. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, the cottage lives larger than its footprint: 1,472 sq ft across two levels, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, two fireplaces, sleeps four.
A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area; the owner's suite adds a gas fireplace and a jetted soaking tub (new 2025) set to the panoramic lake view. Hardwood and tile floors, natural woodwork, updated kitchen, custom furnishings, artwork and quality linens.
Recent updates include new boiler, on-demand water heater, hardwood floors and deck. Washer and dryer hookups sit in the upstairs owners closet, plumbed for a stackable, uncommon among these cottages. One of the most private decks in the resort opens to towering pines and the sound of the lake.
Ownership comes with the keys to the whole resort. Swim in the indoor pool while snow piles up outside, then warm up in the sauna and hot tub. On nights you'd rather not cook, the main lodge restaurant and The Crossings are steps away. The association fee ($771/month, billed quarterly) covers building insurance, firewood, snow plowing and shoveling
, lawn care, grounds and building maintenance, sewer lift station and pest control, so arrival day starts at the lake, not the to-do list. The Gitchi-Gami State Trail and the Cove Point Loop of the Superior Hiking Trail start at the resort driveway. Split Rock Lighthouse, Gooseberry Falls and Tettegouche are minutes away, Duluth under an hour back down Highway 61.
