Jay Cooke Cottage: In the trees privacy, pets♡, 10 miles to spirit mt, fire pit.

Come and enjoy our entire 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. A family friendly community with large yards. We are 10 miles to Spirit Mt.

Out the door and to the right, with a walk or ride you will find the superior hiking trail and the munger trail as well.


The tall pines surrounding the cottage help you enjoy quiet star filled nights by the fire pit. We have six camp chairs, with outdoor and patio furniture to enjoy. It is so quiet and beautiful in the winter.


Jay Cooke invites all outdoor enthusiasts boasting areas close by for snowmobiling trails, hiking trails, biking trails, x country skiing trails, horse trails, snowshoeing, and great photography.

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 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.

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 for your privacy.

We truly enjoy helping others discover the area and take pride here, residing a few miles away.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Safe travels, Mike and Andrea

Quick Christmas Getaway
We absolutely enjoyed our 2 night stay. I surprised the family with a quick getaway as an early Christmas gift. Mike & Andrea were great. About a week or so before our stay they sent us things to do in the area and they were in communication with us the whole trip to make sure everything was going well. The cottage is the cutest little place and very clean and accommodating. Except for the groceries they had everything we could possibly have needed including a Christmas tree for the holiday season. We would absolutely stay there again on our next trip to the Duluth/Superior area.

This cozy small house was a perfect fit for little getaway with our daughter and son in law. It was fun to just get away for a few days and make some memories. It was a short drive to Duluth.

Lovely stay in Esko
We had a wonderful time staying at this nice home in Esko, which was close to a beautiful park, quiet and in the trees and a short drive to Duluth. Highly recommend this place. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. We were a day delayed and they even offered us a free day next time we come to make up for the day we missed.

Fishing trip
If you want a safe and private place to stay and get a chance to fish lake superior this place is fantastic, about 30 minutes from a well kept boat launch. The host was very helpful and the cabin was perfect for our group. I will be back again to catch more fish next year for sure. If you want a great stay at a great price you cant go wrong. Thanks again to the host.

Perfect little getaway
Our little family loved this cozy place! Easy to find, close to highways to get to Duluth, and not far from Jay Cooke State Park. Stocked kitchen, firewood and comfy beds. Communication was great and welcoming! Highly suggest doing this over getting a hotel room. Our oldest has already been asking when we’ll come back. ☺️

I loved this home and it was perfect for myself and my two small dogs. They loved the yard and I appreciated the clean, cozy home with modern decor and everything we needed. It’s close to the highway to Duluth or Cloquet, yet tucked away on a private lot near the state park and beautiful trails!

Family hiking and fishing trip
Our family came to the area for hiking and salmon/trout fishing on Lake Superior. This was a great place to stay. The location was very close to Jay Cooke State park for hiking and only a 20 minute drive to Duluth. We brought our dog and the yard was perfect for him to run and play. The fire pit was nice to have for s’mores and hotdogs and included a height adjusting grill too! They provided plenty of wood and fire starters for us, as well as chairs and a hammock. We were even provided the option for early check in and a later check out! We would highly recommend this cozy place! It had everything that we needed to be comfortable and enjoy. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area!
