About this property

Cottonwood Koti- Renovated Gem, Steps to Downtown

Enjoy your stay at our newly renovated early 1900’s home, nestled in the heart of Biwabik. Located 1 block from Main Street, you’re mere steps to restaurants, bars, grocery store and more. Hop on the snowmobile trail, or take a short drive to Giants Ridge, lakes, beaches, shops and attractions. Welcome to the Cottonwood Koti!

There is a quick guide to information about the home and your stay on the side of the refrigerator. There is also a welcome book on the ottoman in the living room as well as a digital guidebook you can access from your phone.

The entire main level of the home is all yours. The basement is the only area we ask guests not to enter.

You’re on vacation, so don’t worry about a list of things to clean before you check out. We ask that you are respectful and tidy, and to leave the cleaning to us!

If you'd like to learn more about the history of the Cottonwood Koti and see the transformation from carpentry nightmare to cozy and comfortable getaway, it's all been documented on The LiFe In Pines Youtube Channel!
Yes, the floors have humps and dips, and things seem out of square. This house has been through A LOT over the last century, and through the renovation process, we had to learn to work with it! We've grown to love its quirks and we hope you do too!

After dropping your shoes and coats in the front porch, you'll enter the large living room with smart TV, comfortable furniture, and drawers stocked with books, games, and puzzles both for adults and the little ones!
Off the living room is a large dining room with a table that seats 6. Through the dining room you'll enter a well equipped kitchen big enough to dance in.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee or glass of wine and head through the back door to the cozy private deck. Watch the sun set behind the trees while staying warm by the crackling fire.
Back in the home, off the dining room you'll find the "bedroom wing." Both bedrooms have comfortable queen size beds with extra blankets and pillows, and a closet to tuck your clothes and luggage away in. The main bedroom has an attached bathroom with walk-in shower. Just down the hall, past the full bathroom, you’ll find the second inviting bedroom that includes a dedicated, private work space.

If staying in is more your style, the home
is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal, enjoy a fire on the deck, play games, cozy up to watch a movie and more.

Located just one block from downtown Biwabik, the grocery store, gas station, liquor store, park, bars and restaurants are all within a 5 minute walk!

Cozy and Cute

Exactly as advertised! Adorable bungalow in the heart of Biwabek. Felt like my home away from home. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was wonderful for cooking. Super close to Giants Ridge. I hope to book again for next year!

Snowmobiling Trip

The Cottonwood Koti was absolutely lovely. Very clean, spacious, and well stocked with everything we needed. Jenna was very quick to respond to all our questions and was so polite and helpful. We visited the Biwabik area for snowmobiling which was the perfect location in the heart of miles of beautiful trails and forest. Parking was a little tricky with a 4-place snowmobile trailer, but we managed. Absolutely loved our stay and hope to return again next season. Thank you for your generosity and sharing you cozy little home.

Great spot for a couples trip!

Property is freshly remodeled and a great setup for a couples trip with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. It is in a great location, short drive to Giants Ridge, and easily walkable to everything in Biwabik. We made breakfast and dinner at the house and this is one of the best stocked rental kitchens I’ve stayed at. Plenty of cookware, utensils, and dishes and even some basic pantry staples- the knives were even sharp! Clean up was easy too with the farmhouse style sink and dishwasher! Overall, we loved it and would definitely stay again!!

Our stay in Biwabik

The property was perfectly clean, lovely remodel of an older home, and so very interesting. The kitchen was equipped with everything you’d need and the bathrooms were as well. The bedroom linens were fresh and comfy. The outdoor sitting area was lovely but we didn’t get to use it as it was raining. Loved it all!

Mesabi Trail Adventures

The Cottonwood Koti was a perfect place to stay for us to ride the Mesabi Trail. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. Any questions we had were answered in a very timely manner. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. We completed the trail and then took a drive through all the little towns on the Giant Range and stopped at many of the attractions in the area. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again.
