Adventure Awaits on World-Class Mountain Bike Trails

For those craving adrenaline-pumping fun (or go slow at your own pace) our location offers unparalleled access to some of the world's most renowned mountain bike trails. Directly connected to the extensive trail network of the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, you can hop on your bike right from your cabin or bungalow and explore over 70 miles of meticulously maintained single-track trails. Winding through breathtaking forests and around crystal-clear mine lakes, these trails cater to all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros.

Prefer a more leisurely ride? The paved trail system provides a smooth and scenic route perfect for casual cyclists, families, and those looking to enjoy the stunning fall landscapes at a relaxed pace. Don't forget to pack your camera — the panoramic views are truly Instagram-worthy! Be sure to also take the gravel road from Cuyuna Cove (walk or bike) with your morning coffee and enjoy the Fall colors, birds and wildlife on your way to the stunning Yawkey Mine Lake nestled down a red dirt path surrounded by changing colors and towering pines.

Embrace the Beauty of Fall with Endless Outdoor Activities

Fall in Crosby is a spectacle of color and adventure. Beyond biking, the Cuyuna Lakes region offers a plethora of activities to immerse yourself in the season's beauty:

  • Nature Walks: Soak in the beauty of the Cuyuna paved trail right from your cabin. Go a bit further and walk up to Overlook Point for stunning 360 views of Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, the mine lakes and the most gorgeous sunrises.
  • Fishing and Boating: Cast a line into the serene mine lakes teeming with trout, bass, and northern pike. Enjoy a tranquil day on the water as you breathe in the crisp fall air and take in the surrounding beauty.
  • Local Fall Festivals: Join in the community spirit by attending local harvest festivals and farmers' markets. Enjoy homemade treats, local crafts, and live entertainment that celebrate the essence of fall.
  • Wildlife Watching: Keep an eye out for deer, foxes, and a variety of bird species as they prepare for the winter months. The peaceful surroundings provide ample opportunities for nature photography and quiet reflection.

Romantic Escapes and Cozy Comforts

Looking to rekindle romance amidst nature's splendor? Our cabins and bungalows provide an idyllic setting for couples seeking a serene and intimate getaway. Imagine waking up to the soft glow of sunrise filtering through the trees, enjoying a leisurely breakfast on your private deck (or right on Main Street next to us at North Country Cafe or Red Raven Bike & Coffee Shop) and ending the day with a relaxing session in our luxurious redwood sauna.

Each of our accommodations is thoughtfully designed with modern amenities to ensure your stay is as comfortable as it is memorable. Enjoy fully equipped kitchenette, plush, organic cotton bedding and spacious living areas that make you feel right at home. As the evening chill sets in, snuggle up with your loved one under a blanket of stars around the bonfire sharing stories and creating lasting memories.

Pet-Friendly Stays

We believe that vacations are best enjoyed with your four-legged companion! Our pet-friendly cabins welcome your furry friends (we do ask they are crated if left alone in the cabin, therefore 50lbs or less, please reach out to us if you have a larger dog to discuss our policy). We recommend exploring the paved trail year round with your pet, heading to Larson Lake ski trail in the Fall to explore the 7km trail systems and rolling hills, walking to Yawkey Mine Lake from Cuyuna Cove with your pup and heading to Overlook Point and Paradise Point with them. Be sure to let them take a dip in the crystal clear mine lakes! More details about these locations will be in our Guide Book when you book your stay (maps, etc provided!)

Unwind in Our Luxurious Redwood Sauna

After a day filled with exploration and adventure, there's nothing better than unwinding in our custom built redwood sauna with a Huum stove. Let the soothing warmth relax your muscles and rejuvenate your spirit, preparing you for another day of exciting activities. Whether you're easing post-ride soreness or simply indulging in some well-deserved relaxation, our sauna provides the perfect retreat to melt away stress and embrace tranquility.
