Nice getaway!

The Bungalow was just what our family needed, a few days away from the hustle and bustle. Really enjoyed the trails (went for walks at least twice a day) and the loft, for hanging out. Would stay again.

Weather was warm for Feb in MN so grounds were soggy and did not allow us to hike and explore the trails on the property. House was clean and all amenities required were found in bathrooms and kitchen. We enjoyed exploring Rochester finding several great dining spots. Hope to return in summer to experience the surroundings of this unique hideway log house.

The wooded acreage was beautiful with trails and river vistas to enjoy. The yard, patio, front porch, fire ring, fire wood, and grill were ours to use at will. The rooms themselves were comfortable and well kept. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and you will not find a more helpful and communicative host than Barb. We highly recommend the Bungalow!

Restore by the Fireplace

Our family loved our stay! The place was perfect for our family of five and dog. We built fires in the fireplace, grilled chicken on the grill, roasted marshmallows over the campfire, took king walks on the trails and played a lot of games of darts. We also enjoyed driving up to Rochester to visit Cafe Aqui. Highly recommend this spot.

Cozy!!

We had a wonderful stay at the bungalow. Everything was just as described, and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the trails and having time together in the cozy cabin, playing darts, and sitting and talking by the fire. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get away from a busy life and just relax in the beautiful wooded cottage.

Stayed 3 weeks. It was wonderful. Especially liked the trails for hiking with our dog. It was close to Rochester and Stewartville had a nice grocery called Fareway. Also had a good place for pizza called 2 Brothers. My son liked the proximity to Anytime Fitness too.

It was great, a big back yard. There was a front porch to sit and rock on, and additional seating out back. The property was well stock, we had everything we needed. Barb was great at answering all our question.
