Private dog-friendly glamping on the Crow River.

Our pet-friendly one-room solar-powered cabin is on 40 acres of rolling hills overlooking the Crow River. You'll stay a half-mile from the main road and a quarter-mile from your car. Your stay will feel like miles from nowhere and yet only 30 minutes from the western suburbs of Minneapolis. This unique setting is a working farm where you can hike two miles of trails, wet a line, relax, kayak from upstream, and get out at the cabin, or make a short drive for local food and entertainment.
