About this property

The Cottage charming and cozy@Unity Farm

The cottage is an extraordinary place, surrounded by wildlife, 80 acres of restored prairie, a pond, and surrounded by National forest. The cottage is a cozy three bedroom, two bathroom farm house with a kitchenette and access to a full kitchen below the living space. We have tennis courts, a baseball field, basket ball hoop, and a children's swing set and climbing bars. There is an outdoor deck for picnics, and walking paths through the prairie, into the woods, and eventually to the river.

The space
Unity farm is an extraordinary place, filled with wildlife, native flowers, and abundance of trees and forest, and private access to the St. Croix River. It is a place that offers peace and serenity, and is surrounded by national forest property. There is a pond in the yard with occasional great blue herons, ducks and many turtles.
On the property there are tennis courts, walking paths that lead through the woods and down to the river. There is a small sand beach on the river at the end of the trail. There is a tennis court, and even a baseball field and basketball hoop. There is also a swing set and children's climbing bars in the yard.
The landscape is glorious any time of the year, whether it hiking through the woods, or going to the river for a swim in the summer.
We have restored 80 acres of land into natural prairie, which offers a variety of wild flowers throughout the spring and summer, and ends in the fall with tall blue stem grasses.

The walking trails are marked clearly, whether you are going for a walk through the woods or to the river. Please respect the private property signs and the DNR signs, there is rare flora and fauna in areas, and we want to preserve our natural resources. You will find the woods magical, you might want to pack a picnic lunch and sit on the bridge that goes over Lawrence Creek – there are two for you to choose from!

We have three cottages that we offer for rent. One is called “ the COTTAGE”, and it is a charming two/three bedroom farmhouse with two bathrooms and a small kitchenette, and full kitchen in the basement. The downstairs has a small living room, with an adjoining bedroom with a queen size bed. The bathroom has a walk in shower. The upstairs floor has four twin beds, with a partial room divider between the rooms. The upstairs bathroom has a bathtub.
There is also an outdoor deck a few steps away with a table and chairs.

The second cottage is called “ the COOP”, and this farmhouse has a full kitchen, a downstairs bathroom with a walk in shower, and a living room. Upstairs there is a queen size bed. This cottage has an outdoor deck that overlooks the restored prairie.

The third is "the Roost", it is a luxurious one bedroom suite has a skylight, wonderful stargazing at night, kitchenette and a 1/2 bath and outdoor shower, all surrounded by the woods and prairie. There is a large deck with a fire pit, perfect for smores.

Other attractions? There is art scattered along the landscape, and at the entry of the property, there is a gallery in a barn with ceramics and paintings, open by appointment. ( someone is almost always there ) We are also 1/2 mile from Franconia Sculpture Park, and also 1/2 mile from the immigrants trail which is a 6 mile path through farm fields for bikes or walking.
There is an information packet in your cottage for local happenings.
Come and kick off your shoes, breath the fresh air, and enjoy the peace and beauty of Unity farm.
