Cove Point Lodge

My first visit to Cove Point Lodge was in July 2025. I can't wait to return. We loved the location and view of Lake Superior was amazing. Falling asleep and waking up to hear the lake waves was so relaxing. We enjoyed the breakfast, smores by the fireside, pool and hot tub. The staff is so friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

We just spent three nights at this lovely lodge for our wedding anniversary, and were very pleased with everything about it. The lodge itself is very cozy and peaceful. The view is wonderful because the point adds a lot (you are not just looking at the vast lake). The landscaping has been kept as natural as possible. We stayed in one of the staterooms, which are just at the top of the stairs from the front desk. Our room had a pine king bed which was very comfortable, and was furnished with rustic looking furniture. Also had an in room jacuzzi, which was great after days spent hiking. I was surprised at how we heard no outside noise when we were in the room - especially since the room was just upstairs from the dining room/lobby/front desk. Was nice to be able to open the windows and hear the waves crashing into the rocks. We ate dinner in the lodge dining room two of the nights we were there. The meals were excellent - especially the brown sugar glazed pork chop. It is served with sweet potato puree, gingered sauteed mushroom, and a tangy apple slaw. Quite an explosion of different flavors. Service was perfect. One night we ate at the Crossings, which was more casual, but the food was very good. We spent most of our days exploring the state parks, so didn't take advantage of what the lodge has to offer for activities - frisbee golf, boccee ball, canoes, indoor pool, etc. We did enjoy the DVD's which were complimentary with our state room. Breakfast was good, but would have been nice if they had some different things out each day. Only cereal they had was corn flakes, and muffins were always blueberry. That was our only complaint, which is minor. I felt very relaxed at this lodge - a great stay!

The location by the shore is great, but we had some concerns. We had a second floor room with a balcony. We accessed the balcony via a sliding patio door. At the end of the door where the door latches was a plastic panel. A portable A C unit vented via a hose through through the plastic panel. The problem was the door butted against the panel which resulted in leaving a slight crack between the door and the panel. This allowed cool air into the room. Considering what we paid for the room this was not acceptable. The bed also was not as comfortable as we would have liked. One side of the bed was very close the wall, barely allowing enough room to get in bed on that side. My wife sleeps on that side and uses a CPAP machine. We had to put a suitcase next to the bed on which to put her CPAP machine. It was a somewhat disappointing experience in general.

This property walks straight out of your north woods dreams and onto the glorious shores of Lake Superior! Staff are exceptionally friendly, the rooms are beautiful, and the property offers excellent opportunities for adventure!

We absolutely loved Cove Point Lodge. All rooms faced Lake Superior, as did the breakfast/dinner area. The fireOther reviews complained about the coffee machine - it's Folgers coffee and tasted just fine. It's available at all hours - decaf and regular - plus anything you want to add to it. There is also hot water for tea, cider and hot chocolate. Every room also has a Keurig. The pool and hot tub looked lovely. Staff were friendly and the rooms were quiet. Our king bed was a little wore, but slept fine otherwise. Our room also had a DVD player, and there are lots of movies to choose from in the lobby if you want to watch one. And we loved the Scandinavian breakfast! I realize picked cucumbers, herring and beets aren't for everyone, but they are healthy. There was also yogurt, granola and lingonberries, plus cold cereal and bagels. We looked forward to it every day. Because the dinner area is small, reservations are necessary - but the food is worth it. We will definitely be back!

The location is very nice. It is pretty much in the middle of everything along the North Shore. The grounds are nice with the fire pit and smore’s and the fish house and lots of outdoor seating. The lodge room we had is in dire need of updating, from the bathroom to the bed. Also no housekeeping so for what we paid we had to find a place to dump our own trash etc. So, location good but we were not impressed with the room accommodations. We probably will pick somewhere else next time.
