Peaceful and relaxing weekend stay! The cabin is a fantastic hidden gem. Located close to several towns, it is a great base for events or perfect for a quiet stay on-site. The chairs on the porch are an excellent space for reading or chatting. The property host is very helpful and communication is prompt. I appreciated a great breakfast recommendation for the Forget Me Not Cafe in Buffalo.

We enjoyed our stay, the home is spacious, and in a nice location. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our trip. There were a few small things that needed attention during our stay, but the host was quick to communicate and take care of the situation. Overall, we had a nice time and appreciated the hospitality!

What a gem of a place you have! We enjoyed the private location, the beautiful creek and the stunning willow tree on the property! It was still close enough to the baseball fields while we were in town for our son's state tournament and a stay in cabin beats a stay in a hotel any day!

Work trip

We had a project near by and needed short term accommodations for a crew of 6. The house was set up well for us, a good place to relax and recharge for the next day. The host was very friendly as well.

Unplugged & secluded

This is a spacious, unique cabin on a beautiful property, perfect for those who want to disconnect. Close to several local towns. Carleton was a very communicative host, always available to answer questions. We found a delightful Mexican restaurant in Buffalo, Rancho Grande. Great food and service, excellent margaritas!!

Quiet rustic cabin on river

Nice private cabin on dead end road. Cabin has plenty of room for larger families. Several locations for bonfires. Wood platform on river for fishing. We brought a large fan and cords to make being outside more bearable, Mn. is having quite the mosquito population this year. Owner was there to check us in and chat when we arrived. Overall a nice weekend getaway.

We were attending a wedding at Reeds and Rushes. This very private cabin location allowed us a quick drive to and from the venue. Cabin was large enough for our family. We followed the path to the river - absolutely beautiful!

A VERY RELAXING GETAWAY

It was great! Our host was wonderful! There when we needed him and very informative, and took his time with explaining things to me. This place is spacious; lots of movies, games and ping pong! The website doesn't do this place justice....Carlton, you need to post more pictures!! We saw wildlife, no other people around us, & very private! So green and loved the Weeping Willow tree out front. Had fun with our small family at their place in Minnesota and this VRBO. Such a great bonding time was had by all. Thanks Carlton!!!

Great place for quiet relaxation

We had adult family members (age range 57-70) who wanted a quiet place to stay while they were visiting. This was a great location where they could go to relax. The owner was friendly and communicative, and made sure everything was taken care of.
