Come and enjoy our entire cottage in the trees on Jay Cooke Rd outside official state park markers. We are in a rural area in the small town of Esko, MN. A family friendly community with large yards. 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
