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 📖 Book Your Stay See why guests fall in love with The Bear Den.

The only update that would be needed would be to trim some of the taller grass around the outdoor spaces, making it easier to enjoy the patio and fireplaces outback. ##### Gretta B.

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! ##### Monika M. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David H.

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! ##### Jennifer L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie C.

The owners spared no expense and definitely have an eye for detail. It was very enjoyable for us to spend a few days celebrating our Anniversary in this secluded location, but still nearby to Tofte and Lake Superior. The views out the front door as we headed out for runs were superb and even had a great view of the Lake. Our hosts were extremely quick to respond and helped with any questions we had. Our favorite was the Sauna and attached garage. The Sauna is plenty big and warmed up quickly. They even had eucalyptus drops for the water to create a warm aroma while steaming! Driving into the attached garage was an unexpected convenience that we definitely appreciated even for the summer months. The patio out back was fun to grill out on and take in the peaceful ambiance of this location. And to top it off their was a washer and dryer on site we ended up using too. Wow!! Thank you for a wonderful stay! We will definitely be recommending and hope to come back again. ##### Katie C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen G. Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Retreat Cozy Bear Den was a comfortable and peaceful retreat for us. Alex & Kate have thought of every detail to make their home a wonderful place to stay. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped so we could easily prepare meals. We enjoyed the sauna after our daily hikes on the north shore and relaxing in the living room or patio at night. Perfect place to stay for any season!! ##### Kathleen G.

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. ##### Kristi A B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter L.

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. ##### Eric B.

Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient location in Tofte 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. ##### Deb M.

Apr 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet, yet great location 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! ##### Aaron N.
