About Mossy Hollow Cove

Discover the serenity of Mossy Hollow Cove, a charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin tucked away in a secluded little cove on Lake Superior near the village of Hovland, Minnesota. Nestled along the rugged North Shore just steps away from the Big Lake, this one-story retreat offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, comfort, and modern convenience.

Inside, the open-concept living space features a stunning wall of windows, immersing you in panoramic views of Lake Superior from sunrise to moonrise. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the deck’s Adirondack chairs or curled up by the cozy red Vermont Castings wood-burning stove, you’ll feel completely at peace. 

With fast fiber WiFi, Mossy Hollow Cove is also ideal for remote work—or simply unplugging and reconnecting with nature. Step outside to enjoy a crackling backyard bonfire under the stars or explore the shoreline of your own private Lake Superior cove.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape or a family-friendly North Shore getaway, Mossy Hollow Cove invites you to relax, recharge, and experience the magic of the Minnesota North Shore.

This Home is Pet Friendly: There is a two pet maximum for all reservations. There is an additional pet fee.

Water: This home has a lake-drawn water system. Cooking and drinking water is provided.

Security Camera Alert: This property has a Ring camera and motion light facing the parking area and a camera on the woodshed facing the road. The cameras are used for security purposes and to check on snow conditions in the winter for plowing purposes. The camera cannot see inside the home. There is also a camera on the roof of the home facing Lake Superior so the homeowner can check lake conditions when they are away. This camera cannot see the deck or bonfire area of the yard, only the waves crashing onto shore.

What Past Guests Have to Say

“We loved our stay at this cabin. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we might need. The bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever had in a rental, the wood stove kept the place so cozy. And we appreciated small but thoughtful and useful touches, like a charging port and large cube ice trays for cocktails! Great place; we’d love to stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a lakeside North Shore stay!”

“Definitely plan to return here, we have stayed here multiple times already and absolutely love this location and the cozy quiet surroundings! Shhh don't tell too many people about this one... you will want to come back yourselves.”

“Mossy Hollow Cove was absolutely perfect for a relaxing and peaceful weekend away. Great views of Lake Superior with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The cabin was cozy, clean, and we felt at home! Our dogs also enjoyed the lake views with all the big windows. Absolutely perfect!”

“Great place to relax and unwind. Sunrises were some of the best I’ve ever seen. Enjoyed seeing a bald eagle fly by one morning. Inside of the cabin was beautiful. Comfiest bed I ever slept in.”

“Had an absolutely lovely time at Mossy Hollow Cove, which was the main destination for our family road trip, and it was definitely the highlight for us. The cabin was our little sanctuary for 3 nights and we did not want to leave :) Our dog Zoey loved the easy outdoor access and seclusion, and our family loved the overall location of Mossy Hollow, which was convenient to beaches, rivers, hikes, and the delightful town of Grand Marais!”

“Words can’t describe the beauty of this place. It is so peaceful, it made you feel you were the only person around. The cabin was awesome and had everything we needed. We like to cook in after hiking all day and the kitchen was well equipped. The location of the fire pit was awesome with the views of the lake. We would definitely return for another trip to stay here!”

Guest Reviews of Mossy Hollow Cove

Hovland , MN

Beautiful Isolation and Quiet

         
Review by Chris Norbury
Gorgeous setting barely 50 feet from the Lake. Spacious but cozy. The best-organized kitchen we\'ve ever used in a rental. Each cupboard has photos of what items are stored there so nothing gets lost . Even though the amenities page says things like coffee, spices, seasonings, etc., aren\'t included, there are plenty of Keurig coffee pods, tea bags, envelopes of cocoa,etc.There were several dozen spices in the designated spice drawer. Don\'t assume they\'ll always be available. It was just nice to have a back up supply in the event we forgot our own coffee or seasonings. The beds are firm and comfortable. The down comforters are more than adequate for cold nights. Lots of extra blankets and pillows are available. Those floors are wood, so wear slippers in winter to keep your feet warm. Spacious closets, lots of hangers and drawers. Excellent lighting in the bedrooms and throughout. No annoyingly dim lights like some budget rentals have. Lots of hooks for hanging clothes. Entry is also a mudroom with racks for shoes, hooks for coats. The bathrooms were spotless Plenty of towels. Water pressure could be stronger on the shower and all sinks, but that\'s because water is pumped directly from the Lake. Slower than city water. The lake water is not recommended for drinking, so plenty of bottled water is included and there\'s a dispenser that holds a 5-gallon or so jug of water that is easily hooked up to the dispenser. A mild annoyance if you\'re used to turning on a tap full blast and drinking or cooking with that water. No big deal for us. Living room has a beautiful view through the picture windows. The wood burning stove works well and comes with a generous supply of wood indoors as well as a large outdoor shed that stores lots of pre-cut cords. The furniture is very comfortable. Easily room for six to sit comfortably. There are games and puzzles galore. No streaming service is provided, but we brought our Roku stick and watched TV as usual. Overall outstanding rental.
