Great stay

Had a wonderful stay. Love the hanging chairs but would have been nice to have some tinkle lights or something underneath for night time sitting. It was very nice of Chelsi to stop by and introduce herself. Definitely will go again.

Hidden Gem

I am absolutely amazed at how clean the cabin and bathrooms were. No paper towels you get a new cloth towel each time you wash your hands! Parking was tight on the top of the hill there is ample parking about 100 feet away. There is opportunity to make the “backyard” more than what it is. All in all stay here you won’t be disappointed!

Fun Girls Weekend!

Stayed here with some girlfriends for a few days while camping. We loved the little cabin and hammock area. Do be aware it is right next to a highway, so it was loud. Chelsi does a great job making sure your stay is good!

Absolutely loved this cabin stay for our family! Clean, quick drive to whitewater state park for day adventures, and so nice to come back and enjoy the time at the cabin. Bathrooms were great and clean! Nice to have running warm water for our toddler along for the trip. Will definitely be considering booking again! :)

What a great setup! The property features a cabin and separate bath house below, and several outdoor camping areas up the bluff. Just a little more clarification on which amenities are in which area, but otherwise just fine. Lots of extra touches and small details were appreciated. I am hoping to make staying here a yearly thing.

Cute treehouse stay with everything we needed

We packed our family of four into this cute treehouse spot. It was super clean and tidy, and had thoughtful touches throughout. We loved sitting on the hammock chairs and grilling meals outside. The bathhouse was especially well thought out and nice. The shower was hot and the hand towels and beautiful sink felt like a luxury in the woods. The host was friendly and warm and has made this campground a labor of love with personal touches throughout the land. We had a lot of fun.

The cabin was actually nicer than the pictures gave them credit for. The beds and couch were very comfortable. The bathrooms were much nicer than expected. Both the cabin and the bathrooms were very clean. The grounds around the cabin really needed a good mowing. It would have been helpful if firepit tools for moving hot logs or cleaning out old charred pieces of wood were provided. Not something we have to bring with us.

Fly Fishing

Our group of three long time friends that like to fish together found this Tree House Cabin close to the Whitewater River near Elba, MN. It looked similar to places we've stayed to ice fish with bunk beds, no indoor plumbing and a little table to play games. We were pleasantly surprised to see how much better this was. It was very clean, nicely decorated and more spacious then we expected. It's nestled in the beautiful woods on Whiskey Hill and we wished we had more then one night to stay. I highly recommend this cabin and the owner always responded immediately to my questions.
