Private cottages on a 100 year old 20 acre estate.

---

Property Description

A 20 acre northern Wisconsin estate and a name that conjures up images of peaceful seclusion, of quiet and cozy reflection. These are the things we desire all our guests to experience. This is The Inn at Timber Cove.

Property Details

The south shore of Lake Superior in the town of Ashland, Wisconsin is the setting for The Inn at Timber Cove. Located one mile up from the lake the estate originally was part of a large piece of land which in 1884 was given by the City of Ashland for use by the Catholic church. Curiously, a portion of that land, part of which our estate is situated on, was given to an Ashland resident in return for Militia duties during the Civil War. The original working of the deed was done in 1862 by then President Abraham Lincoln. However, the land was not turned over until Presidential Secretary Henry Duffy made it official in 1892. The original, signed by President Lincoln, is at the historical society.

The first recorded structure was built around 1906. The estate began to become something special when it was purchased by a Chicago Lawyer during the 1920's. This gentleman is responsible for giving the estate the name, Timber Cove.

During the 1930's the estate was purchased by a prominent Ashland Doctor named Tucker. The property remained the Tucker estate until the 1980's. Dr. Tucker developed the property significantly. Fruit trees, berries, crops and some animals were maintained. Many of the old orhcard trees still remain. Even today when asked where we live, the older folks still refer to it as the Tucker place.

Old buildings were renovated and turned into private cottages. This inlcudes the Guest House, Carriage House, Summer Kitchen and "the little cottage in the woods". Your day begins with breakfast served in your room and ends with dessert and tea. This is a wonderful place to get away from the routine and stress of everyday life and refresh.
