Clean and comfy

First time staying here for our annual couples getaway. Owner was quick to respond and didn't have a long list of rules/to-do list. Was clean and comfortable. Would stay here again. The location was amazing in the winter, would love to see it in the summer.

Perfect Family Getaway

We were here for a family reunion with 14 of us staying at the house. The house was absolutely perfect for us! Big living room, big kitchen, huge family room for the kids, and a great yard and lake. Crosby was only 10 min away and had lots of cute shops, coffee shops, ice cream, and bike rentals. We would not have changed a thing about our stay!

Annual Peterson Family Get-Away

This was our 28th annual family get-away and Cuyuna Lodge was one of our favorites! It was warm and cozy! Very clean. The kitchen was well stocked, better than any place we’ve ever stayed.There were so many amenities, all functioning, and fun! The ages in our family range from 2-67 and there was plenty to do for everyone. Vinh and Megan were great communicators, This was a beautiful place to make more wonderful memories! We hope to go back again!!

Family Time

Our family of 14 thoroughly enjoyed the home. We gathered around the big kitchen cooking together and gathered in the family area to play games! PLENTY of room for all. We also enjoyed the outdoor activities of fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking and building a fire. Our host was very prompt with replies to our questions. Just a great time and much appreciated location as we mountain biked every day on the trails that were a short distance away

Family Christmas

We looked at a lot of properties for our big family Christmas and this is the one everyone wanted! Although the weather was a little strange and we didn't get to be outside really, the inside offered plenty to do for all! Everything was in working order with the normal wear and tear you'd expect from a rental. Instructions were clear and amenities provided were perfect! Running into town for supplies was a convenient distance and we even went into bowl one afternoon. That was also fun! Loved the Christmas tree lit up for us, fireplace, jaccuzi, sauna, games... it was a great property!

Retreat for female investment club

This property met our needs well. There were ten of us. It is as pictured. The property was lovely. Some of our members used the kayaks and several hiked. Some went into Pequot Lakes to shop. We utilized the kitchen for cooking. While it had all household utensils one needs to cook, I'd advise bringing cooking supplies such as oil and coffee as they are not supplied. When arriving drive slowly to find the fire number at the end of the driveway as it is easy to miss.

Annual Family Winter Weekend

We had a fabulous time in this large lodge that was comfortable and roomy for all 18 of us! The teenagers enjoyed the ping pong table, pool table, the TV room, the sauna and jacuzzi. The kitchen is wide open. If you have a large group it can feel a bit tight when making food for 18! Plenty of seating for everyone to eat together. The property is very private and lots of trails to enjoy. We were able to go out on the lake with skates and boots. We did not have any snow so the sliding and building a snowman wasn't in our favor this year. The warm winter also attracted the asian beetles and they were a bit bothersome...hopefully next winter it will be a lot colder to deter the beetles. The adults enjoyed the fire pit but we bought a lot of wood to make the fire. Normally the owners supply the wood but there wasn't any when we arrived. Be sure to ask about the firewood when you stay there. The lodge is close to town and there is a nice big grocery there if you forget anything. The host, Vinh, is very helpful with any questions or concerns. All in all we had a great weekend. We may head back up there in a year or two.
