Fantastic location! It’s a luxury hunting/fishing shack so don’t expect premium amenities. It’s about getting away from those things. Host is awesome!

Quiet stay near a Trout Stream in the Countryside

We enjoyed the property .Provate. Nice view and spacious inside. The bathroom is tiny but suffice for an old style cabin in the country experience. Would recommend for a quiet, no frills getaway in the driftless area of Minnesota.

Weekend getaway

The cabins in a great location. And the host is easily accessible and a great communicator. Overall, the cabin was a great experience. The lodging can use some TLC. There were some broken screens and the picnic table is a little wobbly should be sanded down or replaced. Would’ve been nice to have Wi-Fi but not necessary. Would absolutely recommend this location if you’re looking to unplug and just relax and enjoy nature.

One of our faves!

We love this cabin so much! It’s one of our favorite places to go and we visit at least 2x per year now. It’s rustic, private, you can see the trout stream from the cabin, and watch cows roam the pasture. 10 outta 10!

Very nice setting

We enjoyed a nice long weekend. The cabin was as described, rustic but nice and clean. We enjoyed the cows with calves in the pasture. Our adult daughter who stayed with us said we should come back in the fall.
