This little rustic gem is right on the Saint Croix River. It is really off the beaten path, and doesn't have anything fancy, so don't expect things to be like home. It is a perfect place to unplug and live simple with no electricity, no microwave, no stress. Things are run by propane, battery and generator only.
*Make sure to let them show you how to turn the lamps on that are run by propane. Even if your husband says he knows how 😉🙄😂 I brought candles which helped and made things more romantic 🥰
*Bring little tea candles just in case.
There is a little fire pit that we enjoyed in morning while drinking our coffee listening to the river and at night while gazing under the stars. We did see a few falling stars 🌠 Being so deep in nature it's amazing how many stars light up and you can see. Incredible!!
*If you enjoy camp fires like us, bring extra wood just incase. The cabin also has a large wood stove with a bundle of wood on the side.
*Remember to check to see that it has been cleaned out.
There is a satellite dish and TV
We did not turn it on, so not sure how the reception is. There is a TV dvd player in king bed bedroom that the both window opens up to the sound of the river. Absolutely loved that for bed... You don't hear any traffic, movement at all it's absolutely the sounds of nature.
*caution the sound of the river may make you want to go p in the night, so don't drink so much before bed 😉🤪 just kidding lol
There are 2 cabins on each side but you cannot see. Very private
*If the neighbor is there, you will most definitely meet their dog. Not sure the breed or his name but OMG so darn sweet loving and kind. We called him Sport, Pooch, Hound lol You'll just want to bring him home. He loves to chase sticks then he takes them home. Probably a keepsake from the people he loved 🥰 We love dogs. We have 2 ourselves and would have a farm if we could...
*This place is pet friendly.
We were able to fish a little. Lots of rocks and lost a few good hooks, so I suggest to bring a few extra hooks. I guess there is bass and salmon. I did get a few bits and caught a few very small bass that I released.
*Bring Floaties so you can tie on the rocks to enjoy the river flow.
There is canoe rentals not far from there. We seen about 8 canoes go down one morning.
There are a few trails that we saw for side by sides.
This place is right on the USA line so you might see helicopters patrolling. That was pretty cool to see.
We definitely recommend this place if you're not looking for anything fancy. We all need to unplug every once and awhile.
Tammy and Doug are really nice and if you need anything they are just a call or text away. There is reception at one spot in the cabin if you really need it.
