Here are a few kind words from our past guests:
"Beautiful, quaint, quirky and oh so cozy! Amber was wonderful to work with, and her attention to detail is second to none. This was honestly one of the cleanest, most well-appointed properties I have stayed at. I will absolutely be keeping this property saved among my favorites to revisit in the future!" -Kendra
“We stayed the weekend at max capacity with 8 people... my wife and I, our three kids, and three adult friends. The space is small but doesn’t feel cramped, in fact, the home welcomes close connections. It's very close to the local Lutsen shops and nearby attractions. We spent our time eating home cooked meals, exploring the nearby mountains on the superior national trail, visiting the beautiful superior shoreline at Grandview loop, playing cards at the dining room table, and sitting by the camp fire catching sights of the northern lights. Amenities and cleanliness were A+! We were talking all weekend about our desire to come back to the Cozy Blue Caribou.” – Justin
“Cozy Blue is a great place to stay. The property is well maintained and easily accessible. From booking to departure, the communication from the host was outstanding. We could not ask for a nicer place to stay. We are already considering booking it this winter for skiing and snowshoeing. If you have not stayed at Cozy Blue, we highly recommend you give it a try!” – William

Cozy Blue Caribou has a few quirks that make your stay unique. Here are a few to note before you book:
Ladder: getting up to the loft requires going up and down a ladder (it has a railing and larger steps, however it is steep). Guests who use the ladder accessing the loft do so at their own risk.
Locks: charming hook latches are used as locks for both bedroom barn doors as well as the half bathroom door in the loft. The main level bathroom has a normal locking doorknob.
Cozy Blue Caribou is most comfortable for 6 adults but can easily accommodate 8 guests.
Direct Booking Guests: Before you arrive you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Truvi. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.

Jason, thank you so much for taking the time to review Cozy Blue Caribou. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you'll stay again in the future!
The property is great! Super clean, everything updated last year, snowmobile trails and parking two miles north off Caribou, grocery store within a mile and Grand Marais 18 miles. Definitely would return and recommend family and friends.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review Larry! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you were able to take advantage of the great location of our cabin. We hope to host you again in the future!
5 stars all the way around - from communication to the house handbook to every feature of the home. We were immediately impressed with the finishes and the finishing touches. Everything was in excellent condition from towels to sheets to kitchen appliances. We could tell right away our host worked hard to make our stay special.

We loved the decor, sweet, cozy, felt clean and newly renovated. Overall loved it.
The mattresses are really firm and one shower for 8 people worked and can be challenging.
Would love to have a shower up in the loft, too!
Absolutely loved this home. The kitchen was completely stocked. The loft had a fan and was the perfect temperature, not too hot. Quiet area. Right near a little grocery store, coffee shop and gas. Short drive to ski and Lutsen and could ride the ditch for about a mile and get on a snowmobile trail. Perfect. I will say that the beds are firm. Like with capital letters firm, but surprisingly I didn't find them uncomfortable and I am over 50.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review Craig! I'm so glad you enjoyed the property and the prime location. Unfortunately, we were recently notified of the mattress firmness from a guest and it has taken longer than expected to get mattress toppers on them. We chose the same mattresses we use personally because we love them. We discovered the beds are no longer made the same as they were when we purchsed them personally. While we have had guests enjoy them, and beds are a preference thing, we didn't realize how firm they were compared to what we have in our personal home. Our guest's comfort is incredibly important to us and we want to make sure our guests have a truly comfortable bed to drift off to sleep in. We hope you’ll stay at Cozy Bue Caribou again in the future!
