Planning Your Stay at Cuyuna Cove

Cuyuna Cove is a small collection of Glamping Tents and Boutique Cabins located right on the outskirts of Crosby, Minnesota. Owned by Kelsey and Chris, this is their third rental property and from first impressions you can tell their hearts went into creating this space to share. Their boutique cabins are on one side of the property and open year round, with stunning floor to ceiling windows, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and thoughtful details like a french press, games, and private patios with grills. I'll be honest, they are on the smaller side, but they're perfect for one person or a couple. They allow one pet (with a fee) and have WiFi that makes it a perfect spot to "work from home".

Their glamping tents on the other hand are open during the warmer months of summer, and has queen beds as well as access to the onsite indoor/outdoor bathrooms. Both types of lodging has access to the outdoor fire pits and sauna onsite. Located right outside the Cuyuna State Recreation Area, during the winter months they also rent out HOK skis and include 2 adult snowshoes with your stay. And since they have a mountain bike station onsite, you can take your bikes straight to the Cuyuna State Recreation Area.
