About this property

Quaint seclusion, steps from the backwaters of the Mississippi.

  • This quaint cabin rests on the backwaters of the Mississippi, minutes from beautiful downtown Red Wing, Mn and 45 min from the Twin Cities.

    Enjoy the serenity of an early morning sunrise on the deck, walk along the water or a nighttime bonfire. This place is a perfect get away for folks who love the outdoors or that just need a beautiful destination to relax.

    This cabin features a queen bed and a futon in the living room that folds into a double bed. You can enjoy steaks on the grill or have the convenience of pizza delivery. Walk down to the riverside fire pit and enjoy s'mores around the fire.

    Fishing enthusiasts, bring a pole or even land your boat on the beach. The back channel boat landing is mere 2 miles away. Splash the boat and pull right up to shore. The backwaters are also a great place to paddle kayaks or a canoe.

    Note: Our cabin is located on Mississippi River floodplain. If you are booking April/May or Oct/Nov there is a small chance that your stay may be affected by river level. We monitor river levels and will provide you with that information ASAP. The cabin is not affected by flash floods, only by slow rising of the Mississippi River.

This property was just as advertised. The cabin is cozy and very well appointed. The bed is extremely comfortable. The host was very responsive to any and all questions, and was able to accommodate a last-minute schedule change. We will most certainly be back to enjoy the quiet setting and beautiful river view. Highly recommended!

Great cabin

We had a blast during our weekend stay. Nice cabin with a great view of the Mississippi River. Great for sitting along the shore on one of the swinging benches, staying inside playing board games, or taking a short drive into Red Wing to take in the sites or have a great meal. The hosts were great and would recommend this to anyone.

Great Location For Hiking

The location was beautifully located on the river. And so many Eagles nests for a neat bird watching experience. Close to local and the state parks for hiking. Was a very pleasant experience. The cabin had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable weekend. Easy to locate. Quiet and private.

Beautiful!

We loved everything about our stay in this Bungalow! It was a beautiful location and the inside decor was perfect! It was very clean and I don't say that very often! The fire pits and swings by the water made it even more special but the weather was not our friend, so we'll have to go back to enjoy them. We enjoyed shopping in Red Wing and hope to hike the next time! We'll definitely stay here again!

Cozy River Getaway

My mom and I had a wonderful stay in this cozy cabin along the Mississippi river. The outdoor area was a peaceful getaway after thrifting along the 100-mile garage sale. We didn't use the outdoor fire, but loved both swings. Communication with Ann was excellent before and during our stay.

Great Retreat Site

Great place for a private retreat in isolation - it’s at the end of a road, immediately adjacent to the WI channel of the Mississippi River. A little boat traffic and periodic train, but nothing that is disturbing. There are two separate fire pits at your disposal with plenty of firewood too! Cabin is small but perfect for 1 or 2.

A dreamy cabin located in a beautiful location

Even though the square footage is small, the cabin is well designed for comfort. Outside was beautiful but we were unable to use the fire pits or outdoor seating due to the rainy weather. It was fun to watch the birds and squirrels. The wifi was great and allowed my husband to have zoom work meetings. We plan to return!
