Cove Point Lodge

Cove Point Lodge has been a go-to for my Wife and I for years. I love visiting during any season, but in my opinion winter is especially cozy. The Lake Superior shoreline right outside of the lodge is gorgeous. I recommend walking out to the end of Cove Point for sunrise and/or sunset. Of course, Beaver Bay offers many wonderful outdoor attractions within short driving distance too. The restaurant within the lodge serves delicious food - I highly recommend dinner there. I love spending my evenings in the lobby in front of the large wood burning fireplace with a book in hand, especially during a snow storm. I’ve had some great conversations with other guests in front of the fireplace too. They also have games and books available, making the lobby a fun place to hang out. If you want some privacy, they offer rooms with gas fireplaces and every single room has window views of Lake Superior. You really can’t go wrong with Cove Point Lodge as a getaway destination.

We had a great stay! Wonderful view of Superior from our 3rd floor unit. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves lapping against the rocky shore. Enjoyed the breakfasts and dinner overlooking the lake. Very clean and updated. They are at least one of the best on the shore. They also gave us a jump start so we could go to town amd replace our battery. Saved us a lot of time and money. So kind. Pool was nice temp. too!

The room itself was fairly cozy and I'd say somewhat "rustic," though the amenities were fine. I stayed in the Queen Balcony room with a view of Superior. Lovely going to bed to the sound of the waves crashing. If I had a criticism, the balcony was not very private as there were many other balconies. It didn't matter much to me personally as I was solo. There are nice picnic tables and benches as well as a small cove you can walk around with a rocky gravel beach. If you're up for more hiking there are a lot of trails you can hop on. Staff was fantastic and helpful, appreciated the maps and guides for nearby activities. The restaurant was fine, about what you'd expect from a place like this. There is a 1.5 mile spur trail that connects with the main part of the Superior Hiking Trail. Also this is right on the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, a paved bike trail. Cost for one night stay was very affordable, actually cheaper than a generic hotel in Duluth.
