This was a very comfortable place to roost. There might have been a few more chickens than needed for decor though (not that it was a problem). This part of the country does not have a lot of eating establishments close by so it is probably best to bring your own food and have fun cooking in their well equipped kitchen.

We stayed here as we were having a family reunion nearby. The place was spotless and the attention to every detail was great. Little touches like having a small flashlight by each bed so if you have to get up in the middle of the night you can get around. A really unique chicken themed place. Many creative touches are everywhere. A lot of thought, time and effort went into decorating this house. Its reasonably close to Lanesboro, which offers access to water activities on the Root river, and bicycle paths. A true gem of a place.

It is a very comfortable cottage. We were only there one day, so did not use the kitchen for cooking, but it appeared to be well stocked had we wanted to cook there.-
