Happy Friday 💫🙌🏼

We wanted to share some of our favorite little fall moments as we approach our next beautiful season in Cuyuna country. The colors change, the air feels nice & cool on our skin, and it’s a time to reflect & re-energize by doing things we love with the people we love.

As you plan ways to relax this upcoming fall, we hope you’d consider booking a fun little getaway with us. We have hot coffee & tea, cozy blankets to snuggle up in, and are located less than 2 miles from the beautiful Cuyuna Country State Recreation area. Crosby/Ironton are wonderful places to visit with the cute little shops, restaurants, and so much more.

It’s been a while since we’ve shared some guest reviews, so we thought there’s no time like the present, right?! 😉 We truly have the best guests and could not be more grateful for the opportunity to host such incredible people (& pups too!) 🫶🏼

👉🏼 “The Cuyuna Bunkhouse was exactly what we were looking for and expecting for our short stay! The area is beautiful and the trailheads were close enough to bike to which was great! The secured bike storage in the garage was a nice amenity, however we weren’t at all worried as the area felt very safe and family-friendly.
The house itself was very well styled, cozy, and clean! The kitchen was stocked and met our needs for cooking. The beds being super comfortable was a nice bonus!
Overall, this was the perfect place to stay and we will definitely look to book again for future trips to the Ironton-Crosby area!”

👉🏼 “had everything you could ever need for a trip ! would stay here again”

👉🏼 “What a charming home. Megan and Sam thought of every detail. There were so many lovely and unexpected amenities. We loved staying here. The house is close to everything you need, but feels like you’re out in the country. Absolutely wonderful! We and our pups will definitely be back!”

Cuyuna State Recreation Area is awakening after our mild winter this year ☺️

The leaves are coming in and the trails are excited to welcome all the riders. We couldn’t be more grateful for this beautiful area. The mine pit lakes are truly magnificent with their crystal clear water. They are begging for adventurers who may want to try scuba diving, paddle-boarding, kayaking, or canoeing. Soon the water will be warm enough for swimming and summer will be on full display.

When staying at Cuyuna Bunkhouse, guests are a short bike ride to the trails and Miner’s Mountain Rally Center. We provide outdoor games, a bonfire pit, back patio with a table and chairs, bike storage, charcoal grill, and more. We have plenty of room if you would like to bring your boat/ATV. We also accommodate up to 2 pups per stay for a small fee and include water/food bowls and treats. We sleep up to 4 guests on 2 queen beds. We also installed a partial fence on the property last fall and have added mattress toppers to ensure our amazing guests have an extra cozy night of rest after shredding the trails.

If you would like to book a stay with us, we welcome you to do so using the link in our bio. We are proud of our cozy little cabin and cannot wait to share this special place with guests. 🤍

Do you know how we got our name?

Cuyuna Bunkhouse got it’s name because the upstairs contains 2 queen beds in one big open space. A bunkhouse is a sleeping quarters for visitors, so it seemed quite fitting!

One thing we love most about booking a short-term vacation rental over a hotel is having access to a kitchen! We love to cook and appreciate that Cuyuna Bunkhouse has all the dishes and utensils we need to make our own meals while we are there. While we love a good balance between going out to eat vs. dining in.

What’s your favorite part about booking a short-term rental vs a hotel?

It’s been a very slow winter season for a lot of us here in Crosby/Ironton and we personally cannot wait to see the town come alive again!

We have a few new followers and thought it would be a good time to reintroduce ourselves! We are a short term rental located in northern Minnesota in a small town called Ironton. The area is known for its beautiful outdoor recreation and cute little shops, bars, restaurants, and more. Our place is a cute little 768 sq ft cabin and is on a 1.5 acre lot just outside of town. Everything in town (including the trails) you can bike to! We sleep up to 4 guests and 2 pups and cannot wait to shred the red once again. Trails are not quite open yet due to the thaw, but we cannot wait to get back out there.

Welcome to 2024 guests!

Over the holidays, we received our 100th review on Airbnb and it could not be more fitting that it was from a repeat guest. This is something that we take at the highest honor- to know that someone loved the place so much that they booked another stay with us is truly notable. We want each guest to feel right at home when visiting Cuyuna Bunkhouse, so to hear it directly from guests makes all the hard work worth it to us. Our cozy little cabin and this area are special, and it's amazing that others cherish it just the same as we do. Here are some kind words from recent guests:

"This was our second stay at the Bunkhouse, and it really feels like home away from home. It’s everything you need, and nothing you don’t. As usual, we experienced excellent and proactive communication from the caretakers. The place was super clean and cozy (again). Beds are firm but comfortable, with clean, fresh linens and blankets. I really love this spot."

"this place was incredible. well utilized space made it feel bigger than it was. small touches like cold la Croix waiting in the fridge and snacks available were the small touches to take it over the top. the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen (an Airbnb with a crockpot and food processor??). the hosts were responsive and proactive in communication. can't wait to visit again"

"The place was nice, quiet, and well maintained. The hosts were very responsive and very friendly. Would recommend to others for a nice small town getaway."

Thank you guests for sharing such kind words! Each and every review is incredibly important to our business and we take each one to heart. With the slower start to the winter season, our calendar is quite open for the coming winters months. We hope you choose to book a stay with us this winter! And remember, we have 2 new pairs of snow shoes in our small garage for guests to use during their stay (once we get some measurable snow, of-course).

Happy New Year ❤️

Reds, yellows, greens & more. All that’s missing is fire 🔥

Also, can you spot all 4 baby pine trees? We can’t wait to watch them grow 🌲

One of our large pine trees on the property reached the end of its life span this summer and we had to take it down. It was a huge bummer, but an opportunity to continue to plant more trees!
