Private River Cabin

This river casts a deep and unexpected spell of actual magic.

Enjoy a cozy three bedroom home with beyond gorgeous views in every season. Directly on the St Croix River with new stair access to the river. A large outdoor patio overlooks a delightful stream and a National park caliber scenery.

Beautiful calming nature

I was celebrating my 60th with my sister daughters and a couple friends. Everyone enjoyed this property. Felt like we were staying with great friends. Had everything we needed and some. Very tastefully decorated. Very comfortable beds. Lots of beautiful deck furniture to enjoy the peace and beauty. I would love to bring my children and grandchildren here in the summer months. It's a great place for family .. love love loved it. Highly recommend for a family vacation.
