All of our rental properties are located at Pilgrim Park Camp and Conference Center. The camp is on 150 acres of mostly forested land with two creeks and a fair sized pond which both provide ample oppertunities for fishing. We are alsonjust a short drive from the Hennepin Canal State Parkway which has a family friendly bike path and even more areas for fishing.
Nice hike, but I wish I could have done more of the trails.
Enjoyed a wonderful girls' trip with friends. The location was close enough to some towns for supplies (about 15 min) but far enough away for privacy. The grounds/trails were great! Enough places to walk and explore. Cute bridges and outdoor games. The area gets very dark at night, so be aware if you are arriving after dark. Great fire pit that the owner even supplied wood for and set it up for us. And speaking of the owner, Matt was amazing! Super attentive and helpful. A couple of things to note, there is no real kitchen. There is a farmhouse sink in one of the bathrooms and no stove/oven. However, there was a large toaster oven, coffee pot, and 2-burner hotplate to use along with some basic supplies. We brought crockpots and other supplies we needed, so that was enough for us. Just be prepared. The grounds are on a church camp, which made for the perfect spot to have single adults. It could sleep up to 11 and also had 4 bathrooms. Nice for everyone to have their own spot to sleep. Overall, this was a great find for us! Will stay again.
Great service Nobody bothers you. The kids had a blast in the pool!!!!
Friendly hosts & nice property, we enjoyed hiking & stargazing on site. The dorm-style setup was perfect for folks being able to stay up late / get up early while others slept, and although the kitchen was minimal it had everything we needed for a weekend's worth of meals.
Location is far enough away that you can unplug and enjoy nature, but anything you might need is 15-20 mins maximum including a Walmart. Great communication and check in from the hosts as well.
There were 10 family members getting together for the weekend and the facility was terrific for this. We loved the grounds, very peaceful and relaxing. Made good use of the fire pit. The host even provided some firewood and kindling. We loved it.
Very spacious with plenty of room.
This was exactly what we were looking for. Space for everyone (group of 10) and everyone was happy, from the 2-yearold, to the teenagers and parents. Very peaceful surrounding, and the absence of a proper kitchen did not prevent us in the least from putting great meals onto the table. Matt was very helpful and friendly. Overall this was a great stay and we will likely be back.
Our family enjoyed the spacious wooded property, and our kids loved the pool. It was quiet and rustic. Matt was welcoming and helpful.
This was a wonderful property for a family reunion. Plenty of sleeping arrangements and bathrooms /showers. The grounds were just gorgeous. Staff was friendly, attentive, and easy to communicate with. Loved this place and will be looking to return in the future!
