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".

We were all so pleased with Wonderland Trail that we want to come back in May. They have thought through all your needs or wants in a big rental. From all the house amenities to feeding the wild life on the property. Each room is comfortably appointed for each family member. We had a great time and plan on returning. Thank You!

Great accommodations!

This was our second stay for our extended family and we loved it! The house is so accommodating for a large family with the large frig/freezer, huge dining area and lots of comfortable seating for everyone. The outdoors has much to offer with golf carts, paddle boats and other outdoor activities. It’s quite a gem!

It was wonderful, everyone had their own ensuit! The house is very large so plenty of room for our party of eleven. The house has everything you need and more for meal prep, huge kitchen and dinning room. The grounds are so beautiful with miles of well groomed trails, fire pit, screen porch, pond with paddle boat.

Another fantastic stay

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!

Another Amazing Stay

We had another amazing stay at Woodland Trails Lodge. This gorgeous home makes for a perfect place to gather with family or friends - everyone has their own space, ensuite bathroom, and beautiful accommodations. The kitchen is enormous and great to cook in. The large fireplace in the living room makes the home cozy and we sat there every morning and evening to chat. The owners and staff are accommodating, have excellent communication, and helped make the stay wonderful a second time. Thank you!

Wonderful property with a peaceful escape. This was even more fabulous than the listing portrait. It was meant for a relaxing ladies weekend and it was the perfect property for that. They have thought of everything, even the dogs! The trails are beautiful and well maintained, the home itself is beautiful and meticulously clean.

The house the land was beautiful! We all had pur own bathrooms. Normally we leave and go to a near by park or lake. But this resort had everything for us to do from board games, irish pool, paddle boating, bike riding and even a golf cart to travel the trails.

Relaxing vacation

House: The house is modern and maintained to a high standard. The fully stocked kitchen (appliances, dinnerware, etc.) is the best I have ever seen. We found plenty of use for the commercial sized refrigerator/freezer, the ovens and dishwashers. The bedrooms (and in room bathrooms) are spacious and well maintained. The large windows in the main living area add a sense of being outdoors. Property: We really enjoy the trail system on the property that you can hike, bike or ride one of their golf carts on. My adult children and my granddaughter especially like the golf carts. The privacy is great due to the size of the property that the house is located on. If you want to get away for some peace and quiet, this is the place to go. Owners/caretakers: The owners and caretakers are top notch. They take care of any questions you have in short order and are very friendly. Finally, we enjoyed are stay so much that we booked the property again for next year.

Magnificent & Peaceful

The review for our second stay will be basically the same as the first one because John and Sandy along with their great housekeeping and maintenance staff keep the property in pristine condition. Woodland Trails Lodge is an exceptional home situated in a beautiful wooded setting. The moment we walked into the Lodge comfort engulfed us. It is understandable how John and Sandy had a successful B & B for many years! Their attention to detail and providing the simple comforts of home are everywhere. The screened in porch was the favorite breezy, bug-fee area for playing cards and enjoying a late afternoon cocktail. Sandra’s kitchen was amazing!! Loved the stove top (even though I am a devoted to cooking with gas), the warming oven and two dishwashers! It was fun to have such a nice variety of dishes. The entire property is a nature wonderland! The variety of birds was awesome. The binoculars and bird books on hand were appreciated and used frequently. Watching the deer and wild turkeys each morning and at dusk was enjoyable. We wanted a quiet place for a relaxing week and we got it and more at the Lodge. Thank you, John and Sandy, for sharing your magnificent home
