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!

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

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.

Relaxing retreat

This was our third time staying at this scenic cabin. Nothing changed which is what we hoped for . The location was perfect for biking and fishing. The cabin was comfortable sleeping and quiet. We will definitely be back again.

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.

Depends on what you want

The location was (for 2 fly fishermen) superb. The actual facility was so-so—at a premium price. It was fairly clean, and the ac worked, but there are a lot if things that could/should be fixed: a horde of ants in the kitchen, window cranks that wouldn’t open the windows, leaky kitchen sink, marginal shower, screen on the sliding door torn……not big on the animal heads, wolf pelt, but that’s just me. Fishing was good; view from the livingroom is lovely, but if our wives had been with us, they would have run to the nearest motel.

Weekend getaway.

If you are looking for a scenic, no frills, simple lodging this is a great choice. Little to no cell phone connection. No TV and other outside world interruptions. Just the scenic beauty, a local heard of cattle grazing, fly fisherman testing their skills against the trout and a camp fire to relax with.

Absolutely relaxing, scenic, and would love to come back.

We had the most peaceful week at your beautiful cabin! Only one thing I am so upset about, is that we inadvertently left my wooden cane behind. My husband had this cane made just for me. I am so, so sad about this and am wondering how could I get this shipped back to me, on our dime? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am handicapped and so sad about this. It was accidentally left behind the door.

Hunting/Fishing Shack

Excellent location overlooking Trout Run Creek. Nice deck overlooking the creek. The condition of property is fair. Makes us think of a fishing/hunting shack. Not meant to spend time in or cook. Upon entering the space we were confronted by a strong smell of mildew. Had to locate the thermostat to warm up the space and plug in the hot water tank. Had to leave for an hour while space warmed up. Lots of flies. Mousetraps. Uncomfortable lounge chairs. The bed was uncomfortable. Difficult to sleep in. A hodgepodge of a kitchen. Lids don't match pans. Few outlets. Limited kitchen supplies. Rancid cooking oil. Fortunately, we brought our own cooking supplies. Poor set up for cooking. Extension cords with surge protector. The lids don't match the pans. Oven not calibrated/inaccurate temperature. The bathroom space is cramped. Smells. Uncomfortable to stay in. Left a day early.

Quiet, rustic cabin

My husband and I enjoyed the cabin, especially the large front window, the view of the trees, pasture, cows, and creek. The bed was very comfortable. The pull out was not. My husband loved the animal heads hanging on the wall (i thought they were creepy). We both liked the old antique tin signs decorating the walls and ceiling. The bathroom smells, and the water heater seems to be working hard for not a lot of hot water at once for showers. It was a nice location for exploring lanesboro, harmony, and preston. We hope to go biking along on the root River trail, as well as doing some canoeing next time. We would definitely rent this cabin again. It's weird, a little dirty, but still pretty cool and different than a regular hotel.
