Winter in Cuyuna Lakes is a time to slow down, wrap yourself in warmth, and enjoy the simple pleasures of the season. Whether you’re looking to unwind after an outdoor adventure or simply savor a peaceful moment, there are plenty of ways to stay cozy and make the most of your visit. Here’s how to embrace the charm of winter in Cuyuna Lakes.
There’s something about winter that makes comfort food taste even better. Start your day or take a break at Crosby Coffee Company, where you can sip on a steaming latte or indulge in a sweet pastry. For a heartier meal, head to Coach’s Corner and warm up with a bowl of soup or a classic dish like a juicy burger and fries.
What to Try: Treat yourself to a cup of rich hot chocolate or a seasonal favorite like mulled cider—it’s the perfect way to fight off the chill.
Escape the cold and explore the unique shops in downtown Crosby. Ripple River Gallery is a treasure trove of handcrafted art and home decor, perfect for finding a special keepsake or gift. If you love vintage items, Antiques & Artisans is packed with one-of-a-kind finds that make for great conversation starters.
Cozy Tip: Pick up a soft throw blanket or a locally made candle to create a warm, inviting atmosphere when you return to your accommodations.
After a day out in the cold, nothing beats coming back to a cozy retreat. At Cuyuna Lakes Stay, you’ll find all the comforts of home, plus the peace and quiet you need to truly relax. Snuggle up with a blanket, enjoy a hot drink, and let yourself unwind.
What to Do: Light a fire if your space has a fireplace, play a board game, or settle in with a good book—whatever helps you recharge.
You don’t have to spend hours outside to enjoy the beauty of winter. A short walk along the trails at Crosby Memorial Park gives you a chance to soak in the snow-covered trees and frozen lakes without braving the elements for too long. The peacefulness of the winter landscape is worth every step.
Cozy Tip: Layer up and bring a thermos of tea or coffee to keep your hands warm while you enjoy the views.
Winter skies are some of the clearest of the year, making it the perfect time to stargaze. Wrap yourself in a blanket, find a quiet spot away from city lights, and let the night sky take your breath away. It’s a magical, low-key way to spend an evening.
What to Bring: A thermos of hot cocoa and some hand warmers to keep cozy while you take in the stars.
Winter is a season for slowing down and focusing on yourself. Treat your trip as an opportunity to relax and recharge. Bring along your favorite self-care items—like bath salts, face masks, or a journal—and turn your getaway into a mini retreat. You can even pick up locally made soaps or skincare products from area shops to enhance the experience.
Cozy Tip: Dedicate a whole day to doing nothing but relaxing. Sometimes, the best plan is no plan at all.
Cuyuna Lakes is the perfect place to embrace the magic of winter, whether you’re bundling up for a short walk or curling up with a good book by the fire. From local comfort food to peaceful stargazing, every moment here is an invitation to slow down, savor the season, and recharge your spirit.
