The Cottage is three miles form the world famous aerial lift bridge at the international ship canal and the Canal Park activities. It is one and half miles from the Park Point recreation area at the end of the point with sailing and boat launch facilities. The cottage is located in a residential neighborhood, with private beach access. The home is furnished with 6 beach mats and 6 beach towels for your enjoyment of the most beautiful beach in Minnesota. Enjoy it during the day with the 4 Kayaks provided with the Cottage, and beach toys including volleyball, and then in the evening, settle down to a beach fire, smores and the city lights in the distance. On the right night you will enjoy the Northern lights with your evening on the beach and the best of Northern Minnesota during your stay at the Cottage.
Step back to a time when the pace was slower and relax in your own private beach cottage. Park Point offers many wonderful activities for rollerblading, biking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, sunning, canoeing, volleyball, and bocce ball on the beach. Come prepared to enjoy the sun, but if it should rain, the house is fully stocked with a supply of books and games for all ages. Curl up in the reading nook by the fireplace and have a perfect, fun and relaxing vacation. ( If winter is your passion, you can cross country and down hill ski, snow shoe, ice skate and enjoy hot chocolate by the fire.)
