Great pet friendly place to stay near Mankato close and close to some nice state parks for hiking. A lovely rustic setting provided a much needed getaway for the weekend.

Meditation Retreat

We had an amazing time using the cabin as a home base for a meditation retreat! The cozy cabin was warm and welcoming, and the nature setting was absolutely perfect to relax and be in the moment. There were several beautiful spots to explore and the trees were unbelievable will absolutely be staying again!

It was easy to check in, the owner is quick to reply. The Den is in a lovely setting, you would not know you were in the middle of farm country. Green, lush and very quiet. The interior is charming and very comfortable. Would stay again, love to see it in different seasons!

beautiful property and cool old cabin

We loved the property and the rustic old cabin is very cool & comfortable. So many birds to listen to in the mornings, tons of fireflies at night. Our dog loved being able to check out the walking paths with us off leash. We would love to come back another time if we’re in the area.

We enjoyed our stay in the counrty. Surrounded by farm fields in a small wooded area the contrast from the city was just what we needed.

Summer layover

We had a delightful 2 night respite at the cabin. It felt good to disconnect and enjoy family time. The fireflies were the highlight.

Picturesque spot in the country

Happy I stayed here on my business trip, even with the drive to town. Well kept property and very cozy little cabin. Great host that takes the time to make sure everything is setup properly. Rustic and minimal amenities, but that's what I was after.

Very windy night but good location

We had an extremely windy night so the flashing on the north side of the cabin rattled a lot. Otherwise all was good.

Quiet and secluded.

It was what we expected in the cabin but the property was nicer and more remote than we expected which was nice. It would be a nice place to stay with a family if the kids were willing to camp outside. We would stay. There again.
