About the host

Host profile image
My family is the 5th generation owner of this property. The house was built by my great-great-grandfather, Frederick Smith. We purchased the property in 2018 with the goal of keeping it in the family for future generations and sharing this wonderful piece of property with others.

Why they chose this property

Located in the heart of the Minnesota Driftless Region (Bluff Country), Smith Family The 1870s farmhouse has been renovated over the years, though we’ve worked carefully to maintain its original features.

The property stretches across 36 acres of farmland, woodland, and undisturbed nature, featuring endless possibilities for outdoor activities. Explore nearby snowmobile and walking trails, play disc golf, or relax around the campfire with your crew! We are very pet and kid-friendly – just don’t ask us to babysit!

We’re located close to the Mississippi River, which has several trails along the river and through the bluffs.
