It was a quiet place and perfect location for solitude. The cabin had a lot of charm and the cows grazing nearby was a nice touch! It was also great to take our dog with! She loved it!
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.
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.
We really loved this cabin. Quiet and away from people with great access to trout fishing and located close to several state parks and the small towns along the Root River. Would definitely book this accommodation again.
Thank you so much as always for the best stay! We absolutely love it there and so appreciate the hospitality. We always and will continue to come back. Such a great place to be ❤️❤️❤️
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!
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.
This was our third time staying at this scenic cabin. Nothing changed which is what we hoped for . The location was perfect for biking and fishing. The cabin was comfortable sleeping and quiet. We will definitely be back again.
It was perfect for me. Secluded, quiet and decent fishing. If you need TV and internet it may not be perfect for you

This cabin was a real disappointment. Photos can be misleading and this property owner did his best to dodge the fact that this is one room with a giant bed, a closet size bathroom and a "kitchen" that truly had no space to prepare food. I looked back at other reviews and saw that people had been complaining about the busted screens, missing window cranks and lack of kitchen basics back in May of 2024! This 3rd generation owner is a disappointment to his parents and grands. He should step up to the plate or turn it over to someone that will clean this cabin up. It is not what we expect from VRBO.
If you are looking for a scenic, no frills, simple lodging this is a great choice. Little to no cell phone connection. No TV and other outside world interruptions. Just the scenic beauty, a local heard of cattle grazing, fly fisherman testing their skills against the trout and a camp fire to relax with.

Why they chose this property
This is my Grandparents farm, passed from them to my wonderful parents who in turn, allowed me to purchase it. This land is filled with great family memories.
