Root River Valley Cabin ~ Lanesboro, MN

The log cabin, built in 2012 by the Amish, is located on the Root River Trail. The trail is great for biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, rollerblading, and walking. The cabin is 2.25 miles from Lanesboro via the trail. To access the trail, you just need to hop on your bike and ride down the road around the farmhouse.

The cabin is located on Hwy 250 3.75 miles by car north of Lanesboro with scenic bluff views. It is fully-furnished including two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a queen bed. There also is a futon and bunk beds.

This is a complete house with everything you need, except food. Enjoy the scenic bluff views while sitting out on the covered porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. There is plenty of room to bring family or friends or just a loved one to enjoy a romantic get away.

Lovely, casual setting suited us perfectly for a 3-night stay with day bike rides on the Root River Trail. We did not do any cooking. Beds were comfortable, nice towels, shower soaps & shampoo provided and the place was clean. Seating on the deck and patio were private. Small firepit, lots of cut wood and star gazing our last night was a great way to unwind!

Great Biking Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for the five of us. While we knew it was close to the trail; the access was a nice surprise. The covered porch was a great spot to relax.

Cabin was VERY nice and clean, spacious. Hosts were very attentive to our messages. We would give 4.5 (but that was not an option, so we gave 4) only because access to the trail was not as easy as we thought it would be based on the online description. We just rode to different towns or other access points each day we were there. Lanesbor was a quick 5-10 min drive away.
