Farm stay in Cresco

Tailwind Cottage

Joanne Rating, 5 stars1 week ago

My husband and I loved this cozy little cottage to relax after a day of exploring this part of the state! It was a nice, peaceful end to our day! Flannery did a great job of communicating with us and gave great information for us to feel right at home! It was very clean and had everything we needed. We plan to come back! Would highly recommend!

Cabin in Lanesboro

Trout Creek Cabin

MarnieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Serene, scenic, and so comfortable! We loved our stay at Trout Creek Cabin, and hope to stay again sometime. On this trip, we managed to dodge some rain for a bike trip in Lanesboro one day, and a hike up to the lookout another day. Otherwise, we indulged in the view, took naps, read books, played games, had long meaningful chats, and realized in the hot tub. We couldn't dictate the weather, but we could not have asked for a better stay. Thank you!

Camper/RV in Decorah

Hideaway Camper by the Cave 2.0

KelliRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was our second stay here at the hideaway camper and it won't be the last. If you don't want to venture out into town there is plenty to do on the property. The waterfall and creek create a magical experience that I don't think can be experienced anywhere else. Uncle John and Rose are very friendly and respond within in a couple of minutes. We can't wait to back.
