Perfectly located property within walking distance to everything in downtown Lanesboro. Food, shops, trails, tubing, kayaking, etc. Place was perfect for a family of 5 with 3 teens. Nicely updated and well thought out with smart tv’s in all rooms and charging ports everywhere you turn. Great stay and hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Austin Perkins

Host profile image
Hello and Welcome to Beautiful Lanesboro and The Root River Trail House! I am Austin and I live with my wife Miranda and 3 children in Albert Lea, MN. Both my wife and I have been exploring Lanesboro since we were young. Camping, bicycling, kayaking, and eventually bringing our own family down here. We Love the driftless area and the community here so much and hope you share in all the joy it offers as well!

Why they chose this property

We chose our home because of it's history, it was built in the 1800's and had a lot of character. We also enjoy it being just a block away from the river, the downtown, and right off the bike trail.

What makes this property unique

We feel our home is unique, because when we remodeled, we were able to keep the original architecture of the old walls-modernizing it, but also keeping the natural feel with bringing in wood and natural textures into it.
