The log cabin, built in 2012 by the Amish, is located on the Root River Trail. The trail is great for biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, rollerblading, and walking. The cabin is 2.25 miles from Lanesboro via the trail. To access the trail, you just need to hop on your bike and ride down the road around the farmhouse.

The cabin is located on Hwy 250 3.75 miles by car north of Lanesboro with scenic bluff views. It is fully-furnished including two bedrooms, one with a king-sizebed and the other with a queen bed. There also is a futon and bunk beds.

This is a complete house with everything you need, except food. Enjoy the scenic bluff views while sitting out on the covered porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. There is plenty of room to bring family or friends or just a loved one to enjoy a romantic get away.

    This house is probably better in person than in the photos. Rooms are generous size. Kitchen is well equipped. It’s about 2.5 miles outside Lanesboro, which was perfect for us. Great outdoor spaces that we didn’t use,but just due to time of year. We would stay here again without hesitation.

    This was a beautiful property that had everything we needed! For bikers you’re right next to the bike trail with just a short little trip down the hill. Though we did not meet the owners, they seemed to be lovely people and responded to any emails we sent prior to and during our arrival. We can’t wait to go back to this property again someday.

    This house was amazing. Everything worked on it. The beds were exactly what was written in the description and I have had other houses where they say they have beds but then you end up with a futon, but this place was excellent. Beautiful everything worked. It was nice location. It worked out the only thing I don’t wanna say is I don’t want anybody else to use it cause I wanna use it when I come back.

    Cabin was comfortable and as described. Recycling was left in the kitchen upon check-in and some minor deep cleaning issues (like interior cob webs and fridge crumbs), but it didn’t prevent us from enjoying our stay.

    The house was very nice and we would stay again it worked for us. I only issue we had was that the house is listed as a 4 bedroom. But there is actually 2 bedrooms with doors. The 3rd bedroom is a bed against the wall in the family room door stair. The 3rd bedroom is in the loft which is open to everyone on the main level. If you are trying to sleep and others are watching TV or talking it's kind of tough. No privacy in the 2 rooms, if that is what you want. Renee tells you her book to be careful on deck when it is wet because it is slippery. She was correct it rain one night, I slipped and fell flat on my back, be careful.

    Pros: easy access to the bike trail, prompt responses from hosts.Cons: this is a two bedroom cabin, not four. Only two bedrooms have doors; the other two beds are in a loft and the basement family room, so not private.

    Lovely, casual setting suited us perfectly for a 3-night stay with day bike rides on the Root River Trail. We did not do any cooking. Beds were comfortable, nice towels, shower soaps & shampoo provided and the place was clean. Seating on the deck and patio were private. Small firepit, lots of cut wood and star gazing our last night was a great way to unwind!

    Cabin was VERY nice and clean, spacious. Hosts were very attentive to our messages. We would give 4.5 (but that was not an option, so we gave 4) only because access to the trail was not as easy as we thought it would be based on the online description. We just rode to different towns or other access points each day we were there. Lanesbor was a quick 5-10 min drive away.

We were surprised there were no blinds in the home, which was not a problem for anyone but the young children needing to nap in the middle of the day.
