A fascinating history and story

The South Shore of Lake Superior in Ashland, Wisconsin is the setting for The Inn at Timber Cove. Located one mile up from Lake Superior, 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.
