Summary:
0.3 miles from Coffee Mill Ski Area — a one-minute drive.
Ski by day, fire by night, porch coffee by morning.

The Cozy Wabasha Cabin is a real log cabin tucked into a coulee a mile outside Wabasha, Minnesota — our family's place first, and a premium stay for guests who want the Driftless done right. Three bedrooms, two baths, sleeps six, with TWO fireplaces: one in the great room, one downstairs for movie nights.

The Space:
The space
- Loft bedroom: 2 twin beds, each with a pull-out trundle underneath
- Downstairs bedroom: queen bed
- Upstairs bedroom: queen bed, plus a fold-up chair that unfolds into a single bed
- Lower-level living room: a real sofa bed, plus 2 rollaway beds in the lower-level closet if you need them
- We host six guests max, however the beds get arranged
- Lower level: second fireplace, smart TV, Nintendo Wii in the grey entertainment center, and the game stash — Catch Phrase, Exploding Kittens, That's What She Said, the Whisper Challenge, Drawing Without Dignity, Pictionary, and tic-tac-toe (the drawing games have a dry-erase board)
- Screened-in porch with rocking chairs — the morning-coffee spot
- Gas-flame fire pit on the lower level, below the screened-in porch — the nightcap spot
- Honest note: the cabin has stairs (loft and lower level), so plan accordingly

Stocked like a home, not a rental (Heather's doing)
Kitchen: coffee maker with coffee provided, blender, rice maker, kettle, toaster, wine glasses, BBQ utensils — a genuinely loaded kitchen, not the bare minimum.
Bathrooms: shampoo, conditioner, body soap and shower gel stocked in both, towels and a hair dryer in both.
Family: Pack 'n Play / travel crib for the littlest guest, fireplace guards.
Laundry on site — wash and dry wet ski gear overnight.
WiFi that rocks — 500+ Mbps.
Luggage drop-off is fine if you arrive early — just ask.

The Neighborhood:
Winter at Coffee Mill (0.3 miles away — same street)
Coffee Mill Ski Area is at 99 Coulee Way; we're at 501 Coulee Way. It's literally down our street.
14 trails, 3 lifts, 425 feet of vertical, 28 acres, 90% snowmaking. Night skiing under the lights till 9 PM on the nights it's open. Last chair at 9, fireplace by 9:05 — nobody else on that hill can say that.
Coffee Mill is a new Indy Pass member for 2026/27 — pass holders, this is your Wabasha stop.

Getting Around:
Skier logistics, handled: our HEATED GARAGE is yours to use for gear — hang skis and boots on the gear hooks to dry overnight, then warm up by the fire. (Parking itself is the covered car port and the driveway.)
Dogs are welcome in the heated/cooled garage only (not in the house) — gear and pups both stay warm.

Other Things to Note:
Good to know
- Check-in 3 PM / check-out 11 AM
- Quiet hours 10 PM – 8 AM (we're in a neighborhood coulee, and we keep it peaceful)
- Coulee Way is 30 mph — take it slow, neighbors wave
- Pets in the garage only; no smoking in the house
- Checkout stays light, and it supports Cheryl, our irreplaceable local cleaner:
linens on the floor next to the bed
load the dishwasher and press start — no need to put anything away
set the thermostat to 72 when you leave
Two coulee courtesies: quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM — sound carries out here, and our neighbors are close. And Coulee Way is 30 mph, so please take it slow coming and going.

Interaction with Guests:
How booking works
50% when your booking is confirmed, the other 50% 30 days before check-in. Cancellation: full refund if you cancel 30 or more days before check-in; inside 30 days the stay is non-refundable. That is the same house rule on every channel.
