This is a great location for anyone visiting the Taylors Falls/St Croix Falls area
Located in the Minnesota side of the St Croix river (just across the street from the river) this area offers great opportunities for outdoor activities, hiking and birding. Birding was not my main reason to visit the area but this is a nice location to observe birds along the river. Also the Wild River State Park is just north of this location - this is a big migratory corridor for the more than 200 bird species that visit the state of Minnesota. The beautiful Interstate State Park is basically next door. Ned and Connie are great host, the place is spotless , nicely furnished. Both Taylors Falls and St Croix Falls are nearby with plenty of restaurants and activities. What I enjoyed the most is the access to the nearby trails and the parks. If you enjoy hiking and birding - this is a great location to use as base camp for daily trips. At the cabin itself I observed 37 bird species, including Sandhill Cranes, Scarlett Tanager, Belted Kingfisher, and Yellow-throated vireos among others.
