Perfect location, wonderful hosts

I had a very relaxing week at this beautiful little farm. It is close to everything I wanted to do: Lanesboro and the theater, excellent restaurants, Amish home shops. And then I could come back to relaxing on the patio and watching the sun set!

Highly recommend!

I have stayed in places all over the world Sheldon and Andrea’s place may be one of the best I have ever stayed at. Their bunkhouse is amazing, they are so hospitable and the animals on the property are just the icing on the cake. If you want to feel at home away from home, definitely stay here. We will be going back!

Clean, cozy and beautifully decorated. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Extra blankets, firewood and board games. Small extra touches, like a welcome gift, tea and coffee, candy and maps of local attractions. The only drawback is that the loft ceiling is so low that you cannot stand up, and that's where the bedroom is, so no unpacking my suitcase. We were very comfortable and felt welcome :)

Peaceful retreat

Had an amazing stay at the country school bunkhouse. Andrea and Sheldon are the best hosts ive ever had, very personable, and professional. Their beautiful property is tucked far away in a quiet corner of southeast Minnesota and is a perfect place to get away.

Cozy farm cabin experience

We loved the farm environment, cozy bunk house, and warm hospitality. Though we were looking for just a place to stay, this also served as our entertainment (because we love relaxing outside and adore animals). The bunk house was clean, set up perfectly, and had many more amenities than we ever would’ve expected. We will be back!

Great Little Bunkhouse

Great little place to stay if you’re visiting Lansboro area! We came to town to bike the Root River trail and this place worked out great! Only about 15 min drive to Lansboro. Property has everything you need for a relaxing evening after a day of biking. Hosts are wonderful and friendly! You won’t be disappointed!

Great Place to Stay

My husband and I stayed at The Country School Bunk House for 2 nights and 3 days. Andrea and Sheldon were great hosts and the Bunk House was comfortable and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We enjoyed visiting with Kadi their dog, their donkey, pony, and chickens. While here we went to Niagara Cave in Harmony, we biked the Root River State bike trail and hiked Mystery Cave State Park. We also went to an Amish farmers market. We had a great time and plan to visit this area again.

Friendly Farm

The property was a charming bunkhouse on a small farm. It was immaculately clean and so cleverly decorated for the Amish area without going overboard. The owners take care of rescue animals. We enjoyed interacting with the animals and the owners. The rental was a short drive to small towns that were fun to explore. A very relaxing long weekend in the beautiful countryside of the bluff country.

The perfect getaway !

We have stayed in our share of places but this was the best! We loved the farm animals roaming around the property. No smell, just delightful to watch and interact with. The host couple were extremely kind and helpful! Even built us a fire to roast hotdogs! We biked the beautiful Root River trail, played golf, went to a fantastic play, and tubed down the river as well ! We will definitely go back!

This bunk house is lovely and was very clean. Nicely equipped. Check-in was seamless. Easy in and out. Very quiet and enjoyable farm setting. The location was out of town a ways which we had not expected, but we did not check that as closely as we could have. The only less desirable aspect was that the beds (3) were in the loft which had a very low ceiling. One must walk stooped over to get to the beds. More than once we bumped our heads on the ceiling. There was one queen bed and two twin beds. The queen bed was comfortable. The bedding was nice and more than adequate.
