Nature Cabin | Cuyuna Matata

This pet friendly cabin has everything you need for a relaxing oasis. The Nature Cabin overlooks the beautiful Pine river on 5 wooded acres. There is an array of wildlife, native species , and many outdoor activities including the Cuyuna Rec Biking trails just 10 minutes away. Take out the kayaks on the Pine River or snowshoes in the winter. After a day outdoors, the wood fire stove makes it easy to kick back and relax. Fire up the new hot tub or wood fire sauna to enjoy the benefits of a good sweat!This Scandinavian minimalistic themed cabin embraces the nature indoors. With south facing views, the living space is filled with sun all day and a beautiful sunset to look forward to over the river. There is a full kitchen for cooking and memory foam Nova Beds for an amazing nights rest (1 king, 1 queen). The sheets are 100% bamboo that are cooling and feel silky to the touch. There are extra blankets to cozy up with and plenty of firewood to start a fire. We encourage using the wood fire stove to heat the cabin but must be 18 years or older. There will be plenty of chopped wood for fires during your whole stay 🪵You can access the cabin by a keyless keypad entry.We live in the cities about 2 hours away. If you have any questions feel free to reach out via message and we will be sure to assist you in a timely manner. We also have emergency contacts we provide in our guidebook in case you may need someone in person.The cabin sits on 4.5 acres surrounded by woods on the pine river. There is a private road to get to the cabin so it is very secluded. there are signs where lot D and E end, which is private property from there that is not available to be roamed by guests. On Lot C there is an RV that is parked year round and used occasionally.Must have a car to drive to grocery store, bike trails, parks etc.This newly built cabin was created for those with busy lives who need to unwind and disconnect. If you do choose this place to work remotely in a nature setting, we officially installed Starlink as our wifi provider for high speed broadband internet!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

We had the best time celebrating our 10 year anniversary. The property is beautiful and secluded. We love the view of the river. There’s so much to do in the area but we enjoyed relaxing at the Nature Cabin. Can’t beat a dip in the hot tub on a cool night! Katherine was responsive and gave us clear check in and check out directions. We will be booking again!

The place we were looking for!

Really nice new place. Remote property but close to Crosby. Beautiful river view. Ample amenities. Communication was great before arrival, but the host did not respond to our vrbo email question about life vests for the kayaks while we there and the departure email from the host was also 'boiler plate' and didn't acknowledge another email about needing batteries for the remotes.

Scandi Retreat

We really had a great time at this beautiful home. So many amenities. Hot tub and sauna, fire pit and fireplace, outdoor dining and great walking paths. We didn't use the kayaks but they were available to us. I really love the serenity of the place, it was so welcoming. Great decor. Spun a couple of records on the turntable. Played some dice, painted and caught our breath. It was the slowdown we really needed. Perfect for our little family. We will be back! Thanks so much.
