Time to Rekindle
Long work weeks, busy schedules this is just what my wife and I needed. Awesome accommodations. Never judge a book by it's cover this little gem Shire in the Woods is as advertised. Long walks on the property, beautiful roaring fires and lots of quiet and time in the word made for the most relaxing and tender stay.

Amazing retreat
I did not expect this cabin to be a part of a larger retreat location (Shire in the Woods is the name of the company if you care to look them up and see what other retreat services/amenities they provide), but it was lovely in every way.
This cabin is small and off to the far edge of the main property, with windows that look off into the forest. Though the cabin is off to the side and secluded, we could see our nearest neighbors during our stay while they were there over the weekend. We had a couple instances of guests staying in other cabins walking by with their dog(s) to go on the trails in the forest that wrap around our cabin (my dogs were excited so I had to keep the curtains closed), but our hosts have high expectations for guests to keep the property quiet & peaceful (there is an incredible culture and ambiance about this place), and for every dog to remain on leash on the main property, so there was never a big issue with other dogs around. Also a heads up we had to drive past horses and swans (in fences on each side of the driveway) to enter the property. I had to distract my sheltered city dwelling dogs during all of that excitement!
We stayed beyond the weekend when the other guests left and it became our own little haven; it was incredible. The dogs were so relaxed without other guests they could see or hear. We woke up to a sprinkling of snow and had coffee and quiet in front of the fire with the forest around.
The internet was spotty and slow at times as others noted, so expect a place that forces you to unplug from the constant streaming of videos and news, but you can check your email if you need, or post a couple pretty photos you take of your adventures on the gram.
The hiking trails were incredible! Some were very well worn, some were so rustic I had to trust my dogs' to tell me where the trail continued. You can follow the maps posted throughout the trails on the property for shorter hikes and see beautiful sights like a beaver damn and lodge, or follow the trails deeper into the state forest to really get your fill of nature. They had maps in the cabin of some deeper-into-the-woods trails and spots to check out.
All in all, my stay was more than the reset I expected, and exactly what I needed. I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to take my dogs along with for hikes in our own space (thank you!) and would highly recommend Shire in the Woods to anyone looking for a MN retreat.
Thanks to the host family!

Nice cabin in the woods
We enjoyed the cabin, but were upset to be left out front waiting for anyone to check us in. Eventually the host showed up, but there should have been some way to contact them posted by the main office.
The cabin was nice, but the property didn't have much to do but hike. The sauna wasn't operational and most of the property wasn't available during the day due to angry swans. It was also upsetting to see horses being kept in very poor conditions by the main house.

A paradise in the forest
It’s been 13 years since I’ve had a proper vacation. My Collies Dax, Beau and I went to a little cabin named the Woodlands in a place called the Shire to get away from the noise and stress of the city. The quiet solitude there was just what my spirit needed. The boys and I reveled in this little piece of paradise, walking the trails and finding the hidden wonders/treasures of the forest. We saw many different landscapes and saw and heard a multitude of forest creatures and birds. The nights were black as coal with the stars shining bright like diamonds on the night tapestry. We woke and fell asleep to the sounds of birds calling. The quiet at the cabin only disturbed by the rustling of squirrels. I came away feeling recharged and refreshed. I could not have found a more perfect place to take my long-awaited and much-needed vacation with my best buds. It was a wonderous and magical place.
The WiFi never worked, I ended up using my phone's hotspot for anything I wanted, but it wasn't much. I went there to get away, not plug in.
I saw some reviews complaining about dogs not having the run of things. I had two Collies with me that are trained well and had no problems. They stayed near the cabin with me or close to me on the many journeys through the forest. If you have dogs, you want to contact the owner and keep away from the main area where the owner's animals are kept.
I also saw complaints online about the notes. This is a small family owned place. The notes are so they can keep the cabins in order without a large staff. Minnesotan's should know this.
It was July when I was here. Lots of biting flies and mosquitoes. Again, Minnesota summer. Knowing this I had the correct bug spray and head coverings (nets that go over your hat and head) and carried another hat to shoo off the flies from my dogs. Just Minnesota.
This is a wonderland. I can't tell you how much beauty we saw, or the wonder of the place. If you are a kind and gentle person wanting to get away, this is the place.

Stars! Beavers! Quiet!
We had a great stay. Loved waking both mornings to look out a large window into the forest. Enjoyed the trails, including the great boardwalk (where we got to see beavers swimming about). Had a lovely, peaceful evening around a fire outside which ended with an absolutely amazing dome of stars. Very relaxing and calm-- just what we needed.

Didn't meet our expectations
Our arrival and check-in tarnished our stay. We had driven 5 hours in the rain and fog to get there only to have to stand in the rain to get the key and then negotiate a driveway/parking area that was a complete mud pit. Trying to keep from tracking mud into the cabin was a constant, nerve racking challenge. The multitude of notes on the wall reminding us to do or NOT do this or that was also a huge distraction. On top of that the cabin was not all that clean - visible layer of dust on the ceiling fan and kitchen shelves, etc. The cabin and surrounding woods were nice but the aforementioned items dampened our enthusiasm.

Very secluded. Great place for a retreat.
The property was nice...very secluded location. The only drawback to this property and it's location is with the rain that we had this season, it was hard to get outside and do anything without being eaten alive by mosquitoes or other bugs. Overall though the listing was very accurate. The Octagon was clean and the owner's took a lot of things into consideration that we may need. It shows that they wanted us to enjoy our stay. Would definitely stay again with just my wife for a day trip (hopefully on not such a rainy part of the season).

Loved our stay, planning to return again
We came to celebrate our 9 year anniversary and get away from the city for the weekend. We really were able to just let go off all the fast-paced stress and enjoy ourselves. We went stargazing the first night, walking a bit onto their not-as-of-yet completed walkway to their little island. And the next day, we hiked around the trails surrounding the grounds and had quite a lot of fun identifying mushrooms---something we used to do years ago in Pennsylvania. On our last day, we walked around their labyrinth and watched the snow fall--then ran back to the cabin to light a fire and read quietly with each other as the flakes drifted by our windows. It felt like we had been holding our breath for a very long time and this weekend we were finally able to release it. Loved the property, Mike and Samwise (the dog) were super friendly upon our arrival and made us feel very welcome. The cabin had all the basics we could have needed--though I suggest you make sure to bring your own toiletres (shampoo, bodywash, and conditioner) if that matters to you. We only ended up needing to purchase one additional bundle of firewood from Mike for the weekend, since the cabin already had some and the fireplace was all setup when we entered. We loved reading through the guest book in the cabin and finding out about the past guests--so many stories and lives connected by this one place. Definitely would recommend as a place to stay, and get reconnected with yourself and nature.

A very peaceful and tranquil quiet getaway in the woods
The grounds are very peaceful and quiet; a delightful escape from the noise and hubbub of our usual life in the city. There are trails in the woods that pass by wildlife and wild scenery that provide balm to the soul longing to, albeit briefly, get away from the usual demands of life. The cabins are quant, though small, definitely most cosy for a close couple. We stayed in the Woodland cabin in winter, which is set well into the woods, and has many windows that brings nature indoors; and is comfortable for someone who merely wants to rest, meditate or read. I bet it would be especially charming in early spring or in the height of autumn. It is called "shire in the woods", and in many subtle ways, reminded me of the simple Tolkien shire; I sometimes expected to see a hobbit exiting one of the cabins.

Lovely seclusion in the woods
The cabin is lovely nestled in a forest. No television, no radio just the ability to appreciate the beauty of nature. The cabin is efficient with no wasted space and has a fully equipped kitchen, wonderful bathroom shower, comfortable bed and a great screened porch. It's in the middle of a forest with walking trails right outside the front door. Only real negative are the flies and mosquitoes. Really enjoyed our stay

Om værten
Vært: Michael Bonnette
I have spent the last 25 years of my life firmly entrenched in the research and development world with a vast majority of that time spent in the interventional medical industry. With my creativity and engineering degree, I have managed to receive 70 US and foreign patents with 50 submissions still pending. Many of these ideas have resulted in devices which have helped people in one form or another, and in 2013, I decided I wanted to help people in another way. I acquired this property which will help people escape and relax in the beauty of the Minnesota Woods!
The property has 120 acres of private lands which sits within 68 thousand acres of the Solana State Forest. The Soo Line Trail also travels right through my property. In 2013, the property was purchased by my family and has now become the Shire in the Woods. A special place, with the look and feel of a Tolkien inspired landscape, now located in "Middle Minnesota".
The Shire in the Woods was formerly solely a retreat center which was founded in 1989 by three Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet with a vision of creating a place where people can spend time quieting the mind and opening the heart and spirit. They recognized the need for individuals living in a modern, fast paced society to be able to retreat to a quiet, nurturing place, thus replenishing the soul and deepening their connection with self, nature, each other, and the universe. The Shire still has it's roots within that theme, and it has grown much more for everyone to enjoy!
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
Welcome to the Shire in the Woods, where the natural surroundings will nourish and rejuvenate your soul! Located 18 miles east of northern Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota, we are tucked away at the heart of the Solana State Forest and have the Soo Line South Trail running right alongside us. Relax with a good book in front of a fireplace or take a stroll in the beautiful woods. The Shire can serve you, your family and friends, facilitate special groups, workshops, and meetings, host a wedding, hold a family reunion, and more! No matter where you are at in your writing practice, the natural beauty and tranquility of the Shire is perfect for a writers retreat. The outdoors and especially the circle drive would be great for demonstrations with horses for example, or you can come and just be a hermit! Whatever your event or occasion, we will work with you to best serve your needs.
Our private, wooded retreat has seven, year round dwellings and more. There are four smaller cabins (The Woodlands, The Birches, The Meadows, and The Loft), The Cedar House, The Tree Lodge, and a gathering space, movie theatre, presentation media space, and library in The Octagon (unless privately reserved).
Other features of the Shire: • Screened-in gazebo. • Wood burning sauna. • 5 miles of groomed trails. • A rose garden. • A labyrinth. • Beaver, frog, and turtle pond. • Tree swings and hammock. • Outdoor fire pits and indoor fireplaces. • Access to the Soo Line Trail. • Access to many miles of trails in the Solana State Forest. • And much more including our horses, a miniature donkey, and a miniature horse. As a guest, you can experience our animals antics and social systems, pet them, and with prior arrangements have guided interactions or feed them treats.
All of the places are arranged in their own unique setting such that you feel like you are the only one there!
