About this property

Root River Valley Cabin ~ Lanesboro, MN

The log cabin, built in 2012 by the Amish, is located on the Root River Trail. The trail is great for biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, rollerblading, and walking. The cabin is 2.25 miles from Lanesboro via the trail. To access the trail, you just need to hop on your bike and ride down the road around the farmhouse.

The cabin is located on Hwy 250 3.75 miles by car north of Lanesboro with scenic bluff views. It is fully-furnished including two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a queen bed. There also is a futon and bunk beds.

This is a complete house with everything you need, except food. Enjoy the scenic bluff views while sitting out on the covered porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. There is plenty of room to bring family or friends or just a loved one to enjoy a romantic get away.

This place was lovely, and well-suited for our girls weekend. We loved the comfy beds, the stocked kitchen, the fireplace, and the wonderful balcony. We share many memories and would love to visit again. The photos do not do this place justice!

We really enjoyed our stay. It was spacious, comfortable, cozy, and quiet. We loved the proximity to the trail, too. The only thing we were surprised about was that there weren’t any window treatments in the bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Hasleiet

Host profile image

My husband and I previously lived in this beautiful home, but with the decline of my husband's health, we moved closed to our children. We miss it!

Why they chose this property

We owned the land for 20 years and always wanted to build a log cabin on it. The quiet of the country and the beautiful scenic bluff views make a relaxing atmosphere. Having coffee in the swings or love seat on the covered porch or a glass a wine is a great way to start and end the day!

What makes this property unique

This a great place with plenty of room for a family reunion or just for two for a romantic get away.
