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.

On the main floor, the "Fisherman’s Escape" bedroom offers a private entry and a queen bed, perfect for early risers eager to hit the lake.

Upstairs, a cushioned window seat provides a cozy spot for morning sunrises or a good book with an incredible view. The master bedroom features a large balcony (16ft x 14ft) with deck chairs, a king and queen bed, and a Keurig coffee maker for sunrise coffees on the balcony.

The forest view bedroom includes a queen bed and a walk-in closet, offering a darker, tranquil setting ideal for night owls. The lakeside room boasts a view of the water, a queen bed, and a walk-in closet.

The lake’s shallow, clear waters are perfect for swimming. Guests can use our single and double kayaks and launch boats at nearby Washburn or Ashland, with our dock available for use.

Enjoy yard games like croquet and bocce ball, or shoot hoops on the paved pad. Rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax on the stone patio (mosquito-sprayed) in the outdoor living space. Dine outside and unwind by the gas fire table. Conclude your evenings with a campfire and s’mores in our fire ring (we provide some firewood but not guaranteed). Note: Exterior cameras facing the front door are for liability purposes.

Explore nearby attractions: 20 minutes south of Bayfield, enjoy shopping, the marina, tours, the Apostle Islands sea caves, Madeline Island ferry, charter fishing, local apple orchards, and berry picking. Experience live entertainment at Big Top Chautauqua and play a round at beautiful nearby golf courses.

Five minutes from Ashland, WI, you’ll find convenience and charm with shopping on Main Street, antiques, toys, handmade chocolates, and a variety of dining options from fine lakeside dining to casual and fast food. Enjoy the mural walk, local parks, playgrounds, and piers.

Numerous nearby waterfall hikes let you immerse yourself in the area’s natural beauty. Choose from local activities or simply relax by the lake and cottage.

Exceptional Views, Wide Range of Activities, Beautifully Appointed
Exceptional property to stay at with fantastic views of Lake Superior. Very well appointed. Large property with many activities at the house to indulge in including kayaking, playing basketball, lying in a hammock, making smores over an outside gas rectangular flame appliance, .... Owner provided many useful items we normally require to buy including paper products, toiletries for the shower, etc. Attention to detail. Very easy to communicate with owner if I had questions about the house. Would rent this place again if I am ever in the area. Wonderful vacation spot in my opinion.

Great spot!
This property has all the conveniences of home. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you might need and the large island was great for seating. The view of the sky at night was spectacular while sitting out by the firepit. The outdoor gas fireplace was very cozy, too.

Perfect lake getaway with our big family!
We booked this spectacular lake house with the hopes of having a relaxing family vacation and it exceeded our expectations. The house is fully stocked with everything a family could need, including things for adults to infants. We loved our days on the private sandy beach, using the kayaks and paddle boards that are provided. We then spent most evenings by the fire, roasting marshmallows and playing games. It is in a great location to hop around to other towns and we even did an excursion to Madeline Island! Overall, this is a 5-star stay and great for big groups! We hope to stay again.

Beautiful house on Lake Superior
We had a lovely time at this property on Lake Superior. It is a perfect place for families with young children because there was so much green space to explore/play games, and the little private beach was great wadding in the water. The house itself was clean and well-taken care of. We particularly loved the large, well-stocked kitchen, and the amenities for children--games, toys, books etc. The only downfall of our stay was that we came at the beginning of the summer season so not all of the amenities had been prepped for use yet (kayaks, screen doors etc.) That said, I would highly recommend this place, and I hope to return soon!

Great property!
Owners were great to work with. Place was as listed, and we loved the layout. The property was amazing and very private. The views were spectacular! The beach was a hit with the kids, and the kitchen was great for family meals; and was well stocked. The bathrooms were clean, and the linens were plush, and the beds were very comfortable. We definitely recommend it!

Breathtaking sunrises
Gorgeous waterfront property with privacy, comfort and style. The location was absolutely perfect! So close to many activities like boat tours of the apostle Islands, kayaking, shopping, wineries, hiking, you name it! We rented this beautiful home with high hopes and it did not disappoint. The owner Rachael was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The home was fully equipped with everything you would ever need. The two kayaks provided by the owner, gave us the freedom to explore the shoreline and beyond. The cozy hammock at the waters edge got ours an hours of daily use by the reader in our family! The best part about the property is all the space! If you wanted privacy, you got it. If you want to hang out in a big group sharing stories, you have space for that too! Last, but definitely not least, were the unforgettable and breathtaking sunrises from the upper deck. They were priceless! We all set our alarms every morning for the sunrise. Then, some of us crawl back into bed :-) Memories to last a lifetime, thank you Rachael!

Little piece of north shore heaven!!
We loved our stay at Coveside. We have stayed in several place in Northern MN/WI but this is hands down the best. The beach is fantastic. We built a couple fires on the beach and watched the moonrise over the Ashland lights…absolutely idyllic. There are two kayaks that we used so much. And the cabin is so perfect. Beds and furniture are comfy, kitchen is very well stocked…honestly we wanted for nothing. Rachael was so communicative and had great suggestions for fun in the area. Already anxious to get our week booked next summer!! Such a gem!!

Great week with the family
Everything was great and this piece of property is a slice of heaven. The kids played outside and swam for hours on the private beach. The house had everything a person could want and more. Racheal was super easy to communicate with and gave us great information about the area. We hope to come back in the future!

Amazing private beach getaway made for family
I stayed with my in-laws, husband, and 6 and 8 year old kids. This place was a beauty and filled with fun. We had lots of room to spread out and everything we could need for making 5 star meals. The hot water was plentiful. The private sandy beach is what put this place over the top in our minds. We enjoyed the kayaks and beach toys...plenty of beach towels provided! The owners have thought of everything a family would need for fun, rain or shine. We gave up our plans to visit the museum in Bayfield so we could stay and enjoy the property longer.

Terrific house in a good location with great upgrades
This house was perfect for what we were looking for (to get away from the busy city life). Rachel was a great host; very easily available throughout the stay for anything we needed. All Appliances were brand new. the house had 2 kayaks which we used quite a bit. Great running/biking trails by lake Superior a short distance away. We all loved it and didn't want to leave.
