About this property

Martha's Place

This cabin is conveniently located right next to the city park, 3 Bar and Grills. 1 mile to Whitewater State Park and just 15 minutes to put your boat in the Mississippi River. Lots of beautiful scenery to hike, bike, walk the trails, fishing in natural streams and climb the Elba Fire Tower for some sights to see! Great for hunting of all kinds or just to get away for a while. Completely remodeled inside and out. Modern amenities and a little old school flare.
The space
This unique little old style house will make you feel like you are deep in the woods, yet when you walk outside you're right downtown.
Guest access
Two stall private driveway to park on with Front door and Patio access.

About the host

Hosted by Danielle Callahan

Host profile image
Originally from Nebraska, I moved to Minnesota in 2006 and have called this home ever since! I love the scenery and the multitude of places to explore and see. The amount of outdoor activities are endless here and it's why I fell in love with Minnesota!

Why they chose this property

I stumbled across this little town by chance and I am so glad I did! My husband and I found this property and saw a diamond in the rough. Everyone in this small town makes you feel like a big deal! We couldn't have picked a better option to make our vacation rental debut!

What makes this property unique

You won't find too many locations that make you feel like you are out in the woods but still be right in the middle of all the action the town has to offer! The house was built in 1873 and still with some originality of it's structure and details, there have been some modifications that make it up to "date" but not to lose that charm!
