Nestled in Deerwood, MN, Cuyuna Lakes Stay evolved from a classic roadside motel into a thoughtfully modern retreat. The owners preserved much of its local character—still named after the community—while upgrading interiors, adding modern touches, and embracing a hospitality-first mindset.
Located within walking distance of the renowned Cuyuna Lakes Trail system—50+ miles of multi-use paths through scenic reclaimed iron mines—Cuyuna Lakes Stay puts bike shops, cafés, and local breweries in reach after every ride.
Nearby attractions include:
“Such a relaxing space close to trails. The kitchenettes were perfect for my breakfast routine.”
“Mobile key check-in was such a breeze—smart, streamlined, and contactless.”
With consistently strong reviews and many repeat visitors, guests love its cleanliness, comfort, and laid-back charm.
