Redhead Cottage
About
Adventure by day, cozy charm by night.
Stay steps from adventure in a 100-year-old home.
This pet friendly Cottage is a 2 bedroom, lovingly restored gem filled with original charm, warm light, and perfectly imperfect character.
Minutes from Redhead Mountain Biking Trail, the Mesabi Trail, kayaking & swimming, hiking overlooks, snowmobiling trails, the Discovery Center, AND skiing...it's the ideal escape to rest, and explore the Iron Range.
The space
Welcome to Redhead Cottage.
Step onto the front porch— a relaxing place to sip coffee in a rocking chair or unwind in the evening light. Get comfortable, and hang your coat and slip off your shoes in the mudroom before opening the original century-old front door into the cozy living room.
Here you'll find comfortable seating, a plush leather couch (which hides a plush queen bed), a smart TV, fast WiFi, and warm morning light filtering through 100-year-old leaded-glass windows. It's a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise come to life.
Just beyond the living room is the dining room, centered around a solid wood round table that seats six. It's perfect for slow breakfasts, game nights, or sharing stories after a day on the trails.
Through the dining room, the fully stocked kitchen is ready for anything from quick snacks to full meals, with modern appliances, new plumbing, and both a drip coffee maker and Keurig, plus some coffee already stocked for you to enjoy.
Both bedrooms sit off the main hallway. Each features a comfortable queen bed with plush pillows and cozy linens. Bedroom one includes a dedicated desk and workspace, ideal when you need to check in at work during their stay. Bedroom two offers a simple, peaceful layout designed for deep rest.
The bathroom is close by and includes a new vanity, a quirky step-up "throne-style" toilet — a hallmark of historic homes — and a salvaged clawfoot tub with a few perfectly imperfect character marks that reflect its age.
Outside, you'll find easy parking for one to two cars on the left side of the home and a brand-new wide porch welcoming you inside.
