Cuyuna Beach Cabin — Where Lake Life Meets Adventure

Experience the best of Minnesota lake life at Cuyuna Beach Cabin, a newer rustic-chic guesthouse tucked along the shores of beautiful Serpent Lake. Thoughtfully designed with comfort, style, and relaxation in mind, this private retreat is the perfect home base for exploring everything the Cuyuna Lakes area has to offer.

Inside, you’ll find beautiful modern finishes, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable gathering spaces, plush bedding, and hotel-quality linens. Step outside and soak in your private saltwater hydrotherapy hot tub, just steps from the patio—the perfect place to relax after a day on the trails or unwind while taking in the peaceful lake setting.

Adventure When You Want It. Lake Life When You Don’t.

Located just 2.2 miles from the renowned Cuyuna mountain bike trail system, the cabin puts hiking, biking, exploring, and outdoor adventure within easy reach.

Prefer a day on the lake? Head straight to the water and enjoy complimentary use of 2 kayaks, 4 paddle boards, and our giant 6-person “party board.” Paddle the shoreline, spend the afternoon on the water, or simply relax lakeside and enjoy the views.

When the day's adventures are over, come home to the hot tub, gather outside, and settle into the slower pace of lake life.

Bringing your pup? Dogs are welcome with prior approval for a $75 pet fee per stay, with a maximum of two dogs under 50 lbs.

Cuyuna Beach Cabin is a private guesthouse located on our Serpent Lake property. Your cabin, hot tub, and dedicated guest spaces are yours to enjoy. Your hosts, Tim and Kelly, live nearby and are available if you need anything during your stay, while always respecting your privacy.

Whether you're planning a Cuyuna biking getaway, couples' escape, girls' weekend, family lake vacation, or simply a few quiet days away, Cuyuna Beach Cabin gives you the freedom to make your stay exactly what you want it to be.

Adventure when you want it. Lake life when you don’t.

About the Owner

Our Journey to Serpent Lake Tim and Kelly first met in May 1993 at The Serpent in Crosby Memorial Park while completing check-out dives for their scuba certifications. A few years later, in 1996, they began dating and spent much of their free time camping and scuba diving all over Minnesota. After getting married, they purchased their first cabin on Little Thunder Lake, north of Outing. For years, they drove past Serpent Lake on the way to their various cabins. When they sold their cabin in 2015, they missed the area deeply. So, when COVID hit and Tim began thinking about retirement, they started looking for a place to call their forever home. In October 2020, they found it — their retirement home on Serpent Lake. Since then, the property has become a true labor of love. With a large family of six children and eight (and counting!) grandchildren, they decided to build a cabin for extra space — and as a place to live while eventually rebuilding the main house. When it isn’t in use by family and friends, they rent the cabin to share the beauty of Serpent Lake and the Cuyuna area with others. Tim retired in May 2023 and got to work building the cabin himself, with occasional help from their sons and friends. Kelly focused on design, décor, and finances, putting her creative touch on every detail. The result is a unique retreat designed to feel welcoming and memorable — featuring Shou Sugi Ban wood finishes, a saltwater hydrotherapy hot tub, and high-quality linens. Tim and Kelly hope every guest feels at home, falls in love with the lake and cabin and leaves already planning their next visit.
