Nestled in a quiet bay on Lake Edward, Cozy Bay Resort offers both cabins and camping with a family and pet-friendly environment. Spend the day fishing, where you can reel in walleye, bass or panfish, or walk along the sandy lakeshore before taking a dip in the cool water. Cabins include kitchen facilities, picnic tables, and charcoal grills, and most campsites have electricity and water. Open year-round, Cozy Bay offers boat rentals and packages for hunting during the winter. Spend the day renting a kayak or paddleboat and then come back ashore for a game of tetherball or volleyball and a steak off the grill. Cozy Bay's game room features video games, as well as food, snacks and soda. Cozy Bay is located in the Brainerd Lakes area, which houses many fine restaurants, paved bike trails and golf courses. Pets are allowed for a small fee per night, but guests must provide their own bed linens for them. Cozy Bay reserves the right to refuse certain breeds.
