Nice location to bike trail.
Everything we needed. The house was clean and comfortable, and it seemed the owners have thought of nearly everything to make the stay enjoyable. Access to the bike trail was only a block or two away. Communication was was excellent and there was no trouble getting an extra person fee returned when one of our people dropped out. Planning on staying there again next year.

Great home next to biking trailheads
This was the perfect spot for our first vacation with our new baby! The hosts were great at communicating and even provided necessary baby items such as a high chair and pack n play. The house was clean and well stocked and had a great amount of indoor and outdoor space. We especially loved the walking/biking proximity to the trailheads, a park, and a few restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

Perfect Cuyuna Cottage
Ride to the trails right from the house! It’s literally around the corner from the park entrance. In addition, the house is super clean, well stocked, and all of the amenities are fully functional. Dining and groceries are anywhere from a block away to a mile away. Lindsay, the host, is friendly and communicative. Would absolutely stay here again.

Fantastic weekend!
We had an amazing weekend at this property! Our family of 5+my brother+2 dogs enjoyed playing bags, fires in the backyard, movies, comfy beds, delicious food, and time on the Cuyuna bike trails. It was the perfect mix of activity and downtime and was so nice to have the space to spread out. We were also thankful for the great communication from our host! We would love to do this trip again!

Nice place to stay for a winter wonderland adventure
Plenty of space for a family of 5, and nicely designed for spending time together. Close to many beautifully groomed cross country ski and snowshoe/hiking trails. It was also nice to be close to town for restaurants and church on Sunday. Hope to come back in the summer and check out the mountain biking and kayaking scene.
