Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
“We were smitten with this Airbnb. We’ve been staying in quite a few MN north shore Airbnb’s over the last month as we build out a cabin and this one is now our favorite. Why Because it’s the first one to offer all these amenities, especially at this rate; a private sauna that you don’t even have to leave the suite to access, an attached garage(!), a private back patio with a separate private fire pit, a large smart tv, a dishwasher and washer/dryer in unit. There’s even a far off view of Lake Superior. We loved it here.” – Acacia
“A beautiful, cozy retreat. We went for a winter wonderland to celebrate Christmas, and instead found the weather to be unprecedented for late December: rainy and cloudy. The weather led to spending extra time inside, where it felt cozy, warm, and bright. This kitchen is the most well stocked one I’ve ever found in a rental! I did not want for anything. It was also quiet, no loud appliances to interfere with a restful night’s sleep. Every amenity listed was available and the hosts quickly resolved any issues encountered (all were small). Looking forward to returning when there is snow!” – Daria
“Loved everything about this place! Super clean, clear instructions, exactly as described. The fireplace, sauna, in-unit laundry, attached garage, and hiking behind the unit really stood out. Would definitely stay again!” - Leah
There is parking for one car inside the garage and a second car in front of the garage.
The Cozy Bear Den really delivered! Very comfy place that was lovingly tended to. All the amenities worked; the sauna was heavenly after cold days outside. When I am in the Grand Marais, I hope to stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Bear Den. The space was clean, the kitchen was very well stocked (with two different types of coffee makers and an electric tea kettle, which is a rarity) and the sauna was an absolute treat! The hosts were also great and reached out several times during our stay to make sure everything was good. I highly recommend the space for couples visiting the north shore. We will be back next year!
I had a lovely time staying at the cozy bear den. It's really close to nearby hiking trails, which cut-down travel time and left more time for relaxation. It rained most of the days I was there, so I unfortunately didn't get to use the firepit area. The layout is a little different (they made the most of the space!) so I spent extra time reading and lounging in bed. The sauna is perfection after a long day in the woods. Book this place if you're looking for relaxation in nature. I'll definitely be back!
Garage studio apartment with the necessities. We were in the area to hike, so didn’t spend a lot of time there. First impression driving in wasn’t great as the property was overgrown and the exterior of the garage needs some TLC, but the inside was clean and functional.
We enjoyed our stay. The beds were super comfortable (including the sofa bed), and the place was well laid out for two travelers to share. The sauna is a very nice touch. Location very convenient to both Grand Marais and Two Harbors, as well as hiking destinations.
No complaints, this was a nice place to stay. We enjoyed it.
We have stayed here before and really liked the location, cleanliness, and accommodations. We plan to return again later in the year.
We stayed 4 nights. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, our daughters enjoyed the sauna, the owners were extremely communicative. I would highly recommend this VRBO if you are visiting Lutsen/Tofte/Northern MN.
The hosts made everything very easy, while also being kind and attentive. This property is managed very well.
Awesome place for a relaxing getaway.
Great spot that allowed us access to great hiking.
A hopping bop, killed it with the decor. Sauna was scrumdelicous. 10/10 would recommend to a gal-pal. 3
The apartment is well appointed with nice furnishings and while it says you can sleep 4, 2 is about all I would recommend. It will sleep 4 though with 1 bedroom and a sleeper sofa. If I were to visit this area again I would definitely consider this place for future trips.
Easy to check in, good host communication, quiet area, very comfy space and good clean environment. The price was wonderful too. We definitely would stay again.
Beautiful property, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Still close to tons of hikes and centrally located to cover the north shore. Car charger worked great and the sauna hit the spot after a long day of hikes and touring. Even though our original rental (small apartment) had a water leak issue just before our stay, the property managers put us up in the main house. We are more than satisfied how this issue was handled. The property managers went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of!
