About this property

Heritage hideaway-Secluded Log Cabin

Heritage Hideaway is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with loved ones. A peaceful and scenic setting to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, or just escape the daily grind. Located on 25 acres of steep bluffs and mature hardwood forest, our main cabin is a fully furnished and modern Amish built log cabin.

A true hideaway, the cabin is tucked back off the main road, yet close to many recreational opportunities. Relax around a campfire or listen to the sounds of nature. Take in the scenic views and gather with family where distractions disappear.

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!

Spectacular weekend getaway for our family reunion! We enjoyed the large lawn area for croquet and frisbee games, and the fire pit with comfy chairs and picnic table for visiting, s’mores and evening sunsets. Gorgeous views from the hilltop site—cows, coyotes and owls serenading us in the distance! The cabin was super clean and nicely air conditioned to get away from summer afternoon heat, with lots of games & books for inside entertaining! Very comfortable beds in the lofts; well-appointed kitchen for putting together quick meals. A scenic 15-minute drive to Lanesboro for biking and shopping. Everyone enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and would love to return! We highly recommend!

Off the beaten path, but still just minutes from it all.

A secluded spot, perfect for a romantic getaway. Just a few miles from town, great breweries and restaurants to choose from. It was a beautiful setting filled with peaceful nature sights and sounds. The hosts were phenomenal, they went above and beyond to help make our stay amazing.

Another great visit to Heritage Hideaway

My wife and I have stayed at heritage hideaway for several years and hope to return for several more. It is a perfect getaway for a couple or for a small family who want a quiet retreat in the country but close to Lanesboro and all that it has to offer.

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.

Cozy Cabin

The property was gorgeous! Went for several walks and just enjoyed the natural surroundings. The cabin itself was adorable and filled with family heirlooms and photos of the owners. Troy and Laurie were very attentive to any needs that popped up and even came over to service the air conditioner during our stay to make sure we stayed comfortable.Looking forward to visiting again during the winter to enjoy some cross country skiing!

Awesome cabin away from it all

This was my 2nd time here with my cousin. We love this cabin so much. It’s far enough away from people and town but not too far that we couldn’t go do things. The area is so beautiful with all of its hills and farms. We went to 4 state parks in 4 days and did a lot of hiking and exploring. We will definitely be back.

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.
