About the host
Hosted by John & Sandra O'Reilly
When we first bought land here, there were no buildings, only one power pole with an electrical outlet. This meant the tent we were using for weekend getaways could have a fan in the summer and an electric heater in winter.
The first building was the garage located next to to what is now the Lodge. On weekends, we would roll a tractor out of the garage, roll some carpet down, put a screen over the the garage door opening and it became our dryer, warmer tent.
The next building was a one bedroom cabin built on a crawl space where the Lodge stands today. When we were about the build the Lodge in 2003, the cabin was moved across the field to its present location. A walkout basement with two more bedrooms, a bath and a TV room was added.
The Lodge was originally build to be a B & B which we happily ran for 15 years until COVID hit. The best part of running the B & B was the guests, some of whom came back more than a dozen times.
Now both the Cabin and the Lodge are available for rent by families and friends. We still get enjoyment out of seeing guests use and enjoy the facilities like the trails, the pond and the fire rings, one outside both the Cabin and the Lodge.

Why they chose this property
Our property is unique with lots of woods and over three miles of private trails.
Guests enjoy watching wildlife out the windows including birds, such as the pileated woodpecker, squirrels, both red and grey, and deer.
The views are great. From the Cabin, guests can enjoy the view of the St. Croix River Valley. From the Lodge guests can view the pond, which we call Grace Lake Too, and the birds at feeders.
When guests take a paddle boat or canoe around the pond, they are surprised that it is bigger than they first guessed.
Guests can enjoy the private trails while hiking, snowshoeing or driving in comfort on a complimentary Golf Cart.

What makes this property unique
We like to describe both the Lodge and the Cabin as "Nice places to stay with something to do" inside and outside. Both are upscale facilities with all the modern convieniences and tasteful, rustic decor.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome and, if trusted by their owner, can run freely off leash.
