Meet Your Hosts


Hello! I'm Mia, the designer/manager/host of this magical Lakehome, and Steve is the owner and maintenance crew :). We enjoy welcoming guests by sharing our knowledge and experiences of Park Point and the surrounding areas! Steve is a 3rd generation Park Pointer.

While Steve’s “real job” is as a wholesales plumbing salesman, he also owns the South Pier Inn Hotel on Park Point with his family. Fun fact: Steve owns the South Pier Lighthouse on Park Point as well - want a private tour? Ask us about it! All the fun and intricate artwork you see around the property and cottage was handcrafted by Steve. Oh, and let’s not forget his photography that is displayed around the house. Follow Steve Sola on FB for local photos and videos to see what’s going on in Duluth and Park Point!

Mia’s background is in education from teaching second graders in New York to working in the Medical School at University of Minnesota, Minneapolis in Continuing Education. Mia loves everything outdoors and takes great pleasure in hosting family & friends, boating, traveling, spending time on our sailboat in Bayfield, biking/hiking, exploring, gardening, and working with Steve on home renovations and projects.

Mia & Steve live next door to Bayview Cottage and love to share this serene oasis with the world. Whatever your dreams of adventure or relaxation are, this is the place to be in every season, and we believe Bayview Cottage is the perfect place to land for a getaway and start creating your memories of a lifetime now!

Interaction with Guests Just a message, a phone call, or a wave away!
