About this property

Heritage hideaway-Secluded Log Cabin

Base rates are based on two person occupancy, additional guest fees apply. For groups larger than six, see our separate listing for our Tiny House located on the opposite side of the property: VRBO#873511. Note there is a discount for weekly stays (7 night minimum).

We loved the space for indoor/outdoor games as a family, quiet nooks to read, and the kitchen/dining area for sharing meals. It was close enough to get to our daily activities in nearby towns, but so quiet and cozy when we wanted to relax!

Our stay at the Heritage Hideaway was peaceful and relaxing. The location was perfect for accessing the Root River Trail and all the communities in the area. Troy stopped in to welcome us and we enjoyed a friendly chat. We’ve been to the area many times and definitely rate this property as one of the most beautiful, clean and comfy!

Girls getaway

We really enjoyed the cozy cabin. Lanesboro was 10 mins away and very quaint with good food options. We are already planning to come back in the fall to enjoy the fall colors and local apple orchards!

We absolutely loved this cabin!! If you love privacy and the great outdoors, this is for you!! My husband and I normally camp when we come here on vacation from Oklahoma, but this time we wanted to try renting a cabin to streamline our vacation. This was a wonderful decision!! We had the comforts of home inside but enjoying the outdoors too!!We saw deer several times, a woodchuck, wild turkeys, hummingbirds. We also got to do the other outdoor activities we enjoy such as golfing in Chatfield and Old Barn resort, biking, walking and running, going to the breweries in Fountain and Lanesboro. All of these activities were just a short drive away. We highly recommend this location!! The hosts were very attentive to our needs as well.

Another Great Stay At This Cabin

We have stayed at this VRBO a number of times and have always found it to be a great cabin with everything we needed. Love the patio around the fire pit and the supply of wood in the horse trailer. This location is wonderful for bird watching.

Peaceful Retreat

Heritage Hideaway is a perfect place to relax. The cabin is comfortable and includes everything one needs. Multiple outdoor seating areas--two decks, the patio, the firepit area, and the swing on the bluff's edge add to the peaceful atmosphere. It is convenient to the Root River Trail, several state parks, and small towns worth exploring.

Just what we needed

Property was clean, well-maintained. This property is quiet! Which is what we wanted! Beds were comfortable. Cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the area. Host suggested two places to eat and they were both amazing ( Home Sweet Home in Lanesboro and Aroma Pie in Waylon) We will look forward to going back and staying again !

Awesome cabin

Great secluded location and beautiful cabin inside and out. Spotless! Bathroom on the main floor despite the bedrooms on 2nd floor did not deter us and the steps and handrail were solid. Loved discovering the trails on the grounds. Kitchen was fully stocked. We loved the wood stove and used it nightly. Would definitely stay here again!

Not for seniors but still lovely

Great place for relaxation and unique setting. Being seniors our biggest concern were stairs that really didn’t have adequate handrail for easy confident movement especially coming down at night for bathroom. Guess this place ideally set for younger people.

The Am

The Amish cabin and beds were very comfortable to sleep in. There is a grill to use if you want to cook some hamburgers or steaks etc. outside. It’s a Webber deluxe grill with a propane lighter and coal provided. There is a new table and chairs by the outdoor fire pit we used during the evening. Do not forget to walk down to the right of the property to enjoy the cliff view of the valley below. This was my third year renting this place. Enjoy your relaxing stay here.

Beautiful property

The property is on a very beautiful lot, overlooking a large natural area. The cabin and exterior were very well maintained, clean and tidy. Shower was good, bed was comfortable but I would bring my own pillow next time, a bit hard for our taste. Our only criticism, and we should have done our homework prior to our stay, we did not know there would be so many gravel roads to drive on to get where we wanted to go. We came to the area to ride our bikes on the Root River Trail. We didn't realize we couldn't get from the cabin to Lanesboro, our starting spot, without having to travel on a dusty, gravel road. One other problem we encountered was coming back on a beautiful warm day after riding and finding the front of the house covered in Asian beetles. We had planned to grill that night but ended going back to Lanesboro as my husband didn't want to fight them while standing at the grill. We vacuumed up a few inside the cabin but for the most part they stayed outside. We were chilly on the main floor as the heater pushed all the warm air upstairs so we had difficulty sleeping the first night. The 2nd day we lowered the temp more as it was warmer outside and slept much more comfortably the second night of our stay. We enjoyed sitting at the swing at sunset and enjoyed a glass of wine. Beautiful property, well maintained and quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Troy & Laurie Danielson

Host profile image
Troy was born and raised in the Lanesboro area. He works as an Engineer for Minnesota Department of Transportation in Rochester. In his free time he enjoys hunting, fishing and just generally being outdoors. The Danielson family continues to maintain the original family farm nearby. Laurie grew up in west central Wisconsin on a small hobby farm. She works as a pharmacist for Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She loves living on the Root River and enjoys gardening, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and biking the Root River Bike trail. We feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place and enjoy meeting our guests. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Lanesboro area.

Why they chose this property

The cabin site was once a heavily wooded pasture to a neighboring farm. The main cabin was built off site by local Amish and moved into place in 2001. The original log structure had seasonal indoor plumbing and an outhouse nearby. We purchased the property in 2011 and started work on the bathroom & laundry addition January 1, 2012. In keeping with the "rustic" feel of the cabin, finish work utilized recycled barn boards from Laurie's childhood farm.

What makes this property unique

The pictures and many items in the cabin reflect our personal heritage. From the handmade quilt from Grandma Christine to the barn pulleys from the original Danielson family farm, all are reflecting the value of hard work and thriftiness instilled in us from our ancestors. We hope you enjoy the peace and beauty of Heritage Hideaway and are inspired to reflect on your own personal heritage.
