Fox+Fern Cottage is your cozy home away from home. Our Cottage is walkable to nearly everything in Two Harbors. We are a mile walk to the lake and less than that to Castle Danger Brewery. Fantastic base to explore the North Shore (see reviews). Our yard is a quiet oasis with outdoor seating and swings galore. Rarely will you need the A/C units in the summer with the cool lake breezes that flow through the shaded house. There's room to pitch a tent on the patio rubber mulch too. . Permit #23-05 Fox+Fern is cozy and quaint and nestles you within its walls. Our family of 5 has a passion for the North Shore and nature. You will find numerous beach finds in the form of agates, feathers, driftwood, and more spread throughout the home. Along with local hiking books, nature books (kids and adults), and novels galore. I also have a passion for poetry and reading and you will find local poetry and more layered throughout our cottage. My husband is also a maker and some of his handcrafted wood projects grace the home as well. The yard has a private patio space along with a pebble play pit for the kiddos and tent swing hanging from one of the trees, and 1-2 hammocks. We recently added a weatherproof bags set as well as a disc swing. We hope you enjoy our home away from home just as we do. We recently updated the bunk room with a lofted twin and an small futon couch underneath. We also have a packnplay, toddler cot, and big kid cot- we've used these in the 2nd bedroom, master bedroom, and even front entry/coat room. There's also room to pitch a small tent on the mulch outside if more space is needed. Spring through Fall- Enjoy the private patio, firepit, and new gas grill. There is plenty of propane onsite and firewood can be purchased at SuperOne or Kwik Trip just a few minutes drive away, if there is firewood onsite feel free to use. There is a tree swing hanging from the tree near the shed and a pebble/nature area right off the patio for the kiddos to enjoy.
