About this property
The Trimbelle Cottage: Secluded Riverside Retreat on 7 acres, with Hot Tub!

Inside, flooded with natural light and cozy cottage charm, the Trimbelle Cottage is the perfect place to get away and reconnect with loved ones. Choose one of three charming bedrooms with blackout blinds for a restful night’s sleep and leisurely morning. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the breakfast nook, fish on the river, cozy up with a book by the easy-to-use electric fireplace, and finish your day with a dip in the hot tub or storytelling around the outdoor fire pit.
This serene retreat is all within an hour of the Twin Cities and within 15-20 minutes of the charming small towns of River Falls, Prescott, and Hudson. This place is perfect of families, girls weekends, wedding stays, or fly fishing getaways. Your own little slice of rural paradise.

Perfect Little Getaway
We just wanted a quiet, country getaway for the weekend and this cottage was a perfect fit. We really enjoyed exploring the property, the hot tub, and fire pit while having the convenience, cleanliness of a home. I highly recommend. We already are planning our next visit.

Cozy and peaceful
This cottage was the perfect place for my family to spend a few days away. The house has everything you need to make it feel like a home away from home. We loved that everything was an easy drive to lots of different small towns. Plenty to enjoy at the cottage with the fire pit, hot tub, and beautiful property for fishing or just relaxing. We would make this our first pick if we stay in the area again!

What a wonderful place!
My friend and I stayed at the Trimbelle Cottage for 3 nights and had the most fabulous stay. The cottage was clean, had everything you could need and the fishing access was stellar. I caught a good sized brown trout and a beautiful brookie right off the property. Lovely country setting with lots to do within 15-30 minutes.

The host was very responsive to our concerns about the roads as we arrived to the property after a spring blizzard, which really made us feel as ease. The host was also great at communicating expectations, and letting us know about a hot tub maintenance worker who would be entering the house (though it would have been appreciated if this work was performed without him accessing the main living spaces).We appreciated the quiet and remote location, and the upgraded materials in the house. The living room was a very comfortable, spacious area to relax all day, and the hot tub was easily accessed from the deck and in great condition. One consideration is the mattresses are rather hard, so if you use a pillow top or foam mattress at home it will be very different! There were a few house maintenance issues that I'll be sending to the host, and held us back from giving 5 stars, but I would definitely return again!

Beautiful and peaceful, well appointed
We originally planned on staying 2 nights but loved the change of pace from city living so much we ended up extending our stay. Surrounded by a chorus of bird songs all day, lush greenery, hardly any traffic on the road in front of the house, we felt the stress melting away. We loved the layout of the living space - well appointed and thoughtfully designed. The place had all the accoutrements we could have hoped for and we made use of the gas stove top, gas grill, record player with classic albums, shower with wonderful water pressure, nice hot tub, comfy bed and furniture, coffee maker...would definitely recommend.

Hidden Gem
Loved this property and the hot tub. It was nice to stay here with family for a wedding instead of a hotel. Only regret is we wish we stayed longer.
