About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Country Serenity Retreat-Private, Peaceful by the River

We have a wonderful and peaceful place for family gatherings nestled down a hill, in a private cul de sac, and on a river-and the other side of the river is uninhabited DNR land-it doesn’t get more private!

Ideal for small company leadership or church staff retreats as well. 21.5 acres of land up against 1500 feet of river frontage. Take time to truly “be present” and enjoy your family with cookouts, fishing along the river , or reading in solitude. Quiet clubs like scrapbooking, or nature enthusiasts will enjoy 16.5 acres of unplatted land. All of this, and only ~30 miles from the Twin Cities! You’ll feel
Like you are hours away. Some have shared that it has a very ‘up north’ feeling-probably due to the cabin with high quality log furniture throughout. 4 queen beds-2 of them have twin log bunks. All beds except the master are made of Minnesota pine-the State Tree.

For the enjoyment of all future guests, no smoking of any kind of tobacco, and no pets are allowed for any VRBO/Home Away reservations. Thank you.

Beautiful Property
We were in the area for a wedding. The cabin is spacious and beautiful with plenty of room. The property is secluded, with great views. Wish we had more time to enjoy it.

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!!

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.
