About this property

The log cabin, built in 2012 by the Amish, is located on the Root River Trail. The trail is great for biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, rollerblading, and walking. The cabin is 2.25 miles from Lanesboro via the trail. To access the trail, you just need to hop on your bike and ride down the road around the farmhouse.

The cabin is located on Hwy 250 3.75 miles by car north of Lanesboro with scenic bluff views. It is fully-furnished including two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a queen bed. There also is a futon and bunk beds.

This is a complete house with everything you need, except food. Enjoy the scenic bluff views while sitting out on the covered porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. There is plenty of room to bring family or friends or just a loved one to enjoy a romantic get away.

Beautiful Home. Had all we needed. The only thing that was brought up would be window coverings in personal spaces. But overall it was very suitable for what we were looking for.

Stay alone Root River

We decided to get away and take a short trip in the Root River area. This cabin came up and we decide to get something with a fully functioning kitchen (we have dietary issues). A nice quiet location, which we enjoyed.

Another great stay

Three of us stayed here last February. Enjoyed it so much came back with two of our friends. As like February our stay was wonderful. We were able to take nice walks as the weather was perfect. The house is very well stocked. Only other comment is the pictures on the website needs to be updated. Would most definitely stay again if we get down this way again.

Beautiful, comfortable and private rental

We really enjoyed our stay here. It had access to the Root River trail, which high on our wish list for this trip. We all slept comfortably and enjoyed to shared spaces together. We were surprised there were no blinds in the home, which was not a problem for anyone but the young children needing to nap in the middle of the day.

One of the best places we’ve stayed

So quiet and lovely. Very peaceful. Well stocked kitchen to be able to cook. We have stayed at a lot of Vrbo places and this one is in the top 5. Loved being able to use our fire stick. Comfortable bed. Loved sitting on the back deck in the swinging chairs.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Hasleiet

My husband and I previously lived in this beautiful home, but with the decline of my husband's health, we moved closed to our children. We miss it!

Why they chose this property

We owned the land for 20 years and always wanted to build a log cabin on it. The quiet of the country and the beautiful scenic bluff views make a relaxing atmosphere. Having coffee in the swings or love seat on the covered porch or a glass a wine is a great way to start and end the day!
