It was a quiet place and perfect location for solitude. The cabin had a lot of charm and the cows grazing nearby was a nice touch! It was also great to take our dog with! She loved it!

Quiet stay near a Trout Stream in the Countryside

We enjoyed the property .Provate. Nice view and spacious inside. The bathroom is tiny but suffice for an old style cabin in the country experience. Would recommend for a quiet, no frills getaway in the driftless area of Minnesota.

This cabin was a real disappointment. Photos can be misleading and this property owner did his best to dodge the fact that this is one room with a giant bed, a closet size bathroom and a "kitchen" that truly had no space to prepare food. I looked back at other reviews and saw that people had been complaining about the busted screens, missing window cranks and lack of kitchen basics back in May of 2024! This 3rd generation owner is a disappointment to his parents and grands. He should step up to the plate or turn it over to someone that will clean this cabin up. It is not what we expect from VRBO.

Weekend getaway

The cabins in a great location. And the host is easily accessible and a great communicator. Overall, the cabin was a great experience. The lodging can use some TLC. There were some broken screens and the picnic table is a little wobbly should be sanded down or replaced. Would’ve been nice to have Wi-Fi but not necessary. Would absolutely recommend this location if you’re looking to unplug and just relax and enjoy nature.

Lovely rural cabin in SE Minnesota

We really loved this cabin. Quiet and away from people with great access to trout fishing and located close to several state parks and the small towns along the Root River. Would definitely book this accommodation again.

One of our faves!

We love this cabin so much! It’s one of our favorite places to go and we visit at least 2x per year now. It’s rustic, private, you can see the trout stream from the cabin, and watch cows roam the pasture. 10 outta 10!

Very nice setting

We enjoyed a nice long weekend. The cabin was as described, rustic but nice and clean. We enjoyed the cows with calves in the pasture. Our adult daughter who stayed with us said we should come back in the fall.

Nice get away

The cabin it self is decorated super cool. The cabin is rustic nice to get off the grid our phones didn't even work there so super peaceful good for the soul. Now if I could have just got the fish to bite. It list's a TV which missing but that just made it that much more peaceful so not dinging the owner just letting them know and the cabin needs a can opener we couldn't find one so again just letting the Werner know could be added. Overall that was a very relaxing peaceful 3 night stay. The cabin is a great get away
