Tails Up Retreat – The Perfect Basecamp for Adventure & Relaxation
Located in the heart of the Glacial Lakes Region, just a few blocks from downtown Webster and about an hour from both Aberdeen and Watertown, Tails Up Retreat is a cozy, pet-friendly escape built for both comfort and outdoor fun.
🎯 Designed with Outdoorsmen & Families in Mind:
• Heated Garage: Park your truck or dry out your gear while watching the big game on the large TV.
• Fish & Game Cleaning Shack: A heated 12’x20’ shack in the backyard makes prepping your catch clean and easy.
• Outdoor Living: Covered deck with a high-top table, Blackstone, and Traeger grill for grilling and chilling.
• Firepit Fun: Kick back in Adirondack chairs around the Solostove on the concrete patio (firewood available nearby).
🏡 Comfort Inside & Out:
• Spacious Living Room: Relax with a 65” smart TV, recliners, and plenty of space for the whole crew.
• Modern Kitchen: Fully stocked with everything you need, plus a coffee bar featuring locally roasted beans.
• Sleep Soundly: Two bedrooms upstairs share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the basement doubles as a master suite with a king bed and full bath.
• Extras: Memory foam mattresses, washer/dryer, and a large safe for firearms or valuables.
🐶 Pet Friendly with Perks:
Respectful dogs are welcome inside, and there’s a fenced backyard plus an outdoor kennel behind the garage for added flexibility.
