5 Reasons Guests Love Staying at Cuyuna Lakes Stay

When people come to Cuyuna Lakes, they usually have big plans—biking the trails, paddling the lakes, checking out the local shops and cafés. But one of the things we hear again and again? Their favorite part of the trip was just being able to relax and feel at home right here at Cuyuna Lakes Stay.

Here are five reasons our guests keep coming back—and why we think you’ll love it too.

1. Everything You Need Is Just Around the Corner

We’ve got a location that makes it super easy to enjoy everything Cuyuna has to offer. Want to hit the trails? They’re just minutes away. Craving a coffee or a bite to eat? Downtown Crosby is right around the corner.

Whether you’re here to adventure or just unwind, you don’t have to spend your vacation time in the car. Guests love how close we are to:

  • Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area
  • Portsmouth Mine Pit Lake
  • Bike trails, hiking paths, and scenic overlooks
  • Local shops, cafés, and restaurants

You can pack your days full or keep it totally low-key—and either way, you’re never far from your cozy retreat.

2. Cozy, Clean, and Comfortable

We’ve put a lot of thought into making this place feel like a home—not just another room to sleep in. Every space is clean, comfortable, and has the little details that make a difference: soft bedding, a peaceful vibe, and everything you need to settle in and feel good.

Guests often tell us it feels like the perfect mix of cabin comfort and modern simplicity. Nothing fancy, just warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully done.

3. It’s Quiet Here—and That’s Kind of the Best Part

One of the biggest things our guests notice? The quiet. Real quiet. Like, windows-open, birds-chirping, totally peaceful kind of quiet.

Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch in the morning or stargazing at night, it’s easy to take a breath and slow down. No traffic noise, no big-city hustle—just the calm that people are often craving without even realizing it.

4. Easy Check-In, Friendly Vibes

Nobody wants to stress about logistics when they’re trying to relax. That’s why we keep the check-in process simple, and we’re always happy to answer questions, offer local tips, or help however we can.

We’ve been on the other side of the check-in counter, so we get it—clear communication and a few thoughtful touches go a long way. We want you to feel taken care of without feeling hovered over.

5. It Works for Everyone

Solo travelers, couples, small families, friend groups—we’ve welcomed them all. Whether you’re in town to ride the trails, unwind by the lake, or just have a change of scenery, this space fits a lot of different travel styles.

It’s your home base to come back to after a day of exploring (or doing absolutely nothing—no judgment here).
