Woodland Trails Lodge on 130 acres with ponds and miles of private trails

Woodland Trails' Lodge was built in 2003 to be an upscale B & B and has been meticulously maintained since. It is now available for your exclusive use. The Great Room is a perfet place for your friends and family to gather. The wood-burning fireplace, with wood provided, adds cozieness.

The dining room has seating for everyone, and the kitchen is fully equipped.

The view out the windows is of wildlife, including deer, and birds at the feeders. Our private pond is a big figure "8" that makes for an enjoyable trip around on one of our paddle boats or canoe.

The seven bedrooms are all spacious, have a private bath, comfortable seating area with electric fireplace and a private deck or patio. Six of the baths also have a whirlpool tub. Each bedroom is perfect for quiet time, to take a nap or read a book.

The Owners' Suite, with bedroom, bath and living room is on the main floor. It is perfect for anyone who has difficulty with stairs. Four bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor. They are the Winterberry, Royal Fern, Aspen and Red Oak. The St. Croix and Sugar Maple Rooms are located on the lower, walk-out level.

Five of the bedrooms have king-size beds. The Red Oak as a queen-size and the Sugar Maple has two twin beds and a private bath with shower but no tub.

We have miles of private trails on our wooded land. Outside of snow season, golf carts are provided for touring in comfort.

Bring your four-wheelers or snowmobiles. We have plenty of parking. Our trails are reserved for hiking, snowshoeing and our complimentary golf carts but, in Pine County, it is legal to ride ATVs and Four-Wheelers on the roadside to a major trail system 1/2 mile north of the Lodge.

While our address is Hinckley, we are located 23 miles east of Hinckley, near the St. Croix River and the Wisconsin border. We are just four miles from Danbury, Wisconsin.

We are an easy two-hour drive from the Twin Cities, St. Cloud or Eau Claire and just over an hour from Duluth.

Besides enjoying the view, perhaps with a real-wood fire in the fireplace, guests enjoy watching the birds at feeders outside.

Your well-behaved one or two dogs are welcome.

Two casinos are nearby: St. Croix Casino in Danbury and Grand Casino in Hinckley.

Canoeing and tubing on the St. Croix and Namekagan Rivers through Pardun Conoe Rental in Danbury.

Four-wheeling? Bring yours or rent from Throttle RX Rentals in Danbury.

St. Croix State Park, Minnesota's largest, has activities in every season. Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Grantsburg has great wildlife watching, particularly during spring and fall migrations. Forts Folle Avoine in Webster, Wisconsin is a reproduction of an 1803 fur trading post.

What are your interests? Let us know and we will be happy to make suggestions.

Rates: The base rate covers six guests. The rate for each additional guest is $45 per person per night, which is shown under "Host Fees" and "Additional Guests".

This is the fourth year in a row that we have stayed at the Woodland Trails Lodge. The property and the lodge are kept in excellent shape. There is plenty to do on the property so that you could spend your entire time just on the property. My grandkids (2 and 4 years old) really enjoy the golf carts and the paddle boats. The kitchen is large with every appliance you would ever need. The main rooms have comfortable chairs and couches to relax in. The bedrooms are all large and beds/furniture is comfortable.The hosts and caretakers are readily available and very friendly.We have already made our reservation for next year.

Another Relaxing Stay

Our family had another great stay at Woodland Trails. It is a superior value for all of the amenities that come with the property. The property has a lot to offer all age groups; I don't know who enjoyed our stay more; my wife and I, our kids or our Grandkids. Our family has already booked next year's vacation here. John, Sandra and the property management team are the best.

This was our third stay at Woodland Trails and it did not disappoint. Everything was lovely and there was more than enough room for the ten of us to relax. Fall colors were amazing, the area is peaceful and spacious, and there's a grocery store ten minutes away for anything you forgot. Kitchen is well stocked with appliances, cookware, etc. Booked another trip for next year as well!
