About this property

Woodland Trails Cabin on 130 acres with wildlife and miles of private trails

The Woodland Trails Cabin overlooks the St. Croix River Valley. Located on 130 acres, there are over three miles of private trails for hiking and snowshoeing (we provide snowshoes).

From May through October, a complimentary Golf Cart is provided for touring the trails in comfort.

Your well-behaved one or two dogs are welcome.

This cabin has all the modern conveniences including air conditioning, wood-burning fireplace, internet, two TVs and a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen. Outside there is a fire pit with wood provided.

Bring your four-wheelers or snowmobiles. In Pine County, it is legal to ride on the roadside to a major trail system 1/2 mile north of the cabin. We have plenty of parking for trailers.

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.

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.

We absolutely love coming up here! After several years of visiting Woodland Trails, this cabin has become woven into some of our favorite memories. There’s just something magical about this place - the peace, the tranquility, that “deep breath the second you arrive” kind of feeling.The cabin itself is perfection in the woods. Every detail is thoughtfully taken care of - it's comfortable, incredibly clean, and stocked with everything you could possibly need (and then a few things you didn’t even know you needed!). You can tell a lot of love and intention went into making this space so welcoming.Thank you, John, Sandra, and the entire Woodland Trails team, for sharing such a special property. Each visit feels like coming home, and we can’t wait to make even more memories here.

Incredible place to relax

We loved staying here. Exploring the endless trails on the golf cart, many loops around the pond and endless porch time reading and watching birds and squirrels. Really grateful to have ended our first trip to this area of the country in such a beautiful place. Pictures don’t do the home justice- it’s so peaceful and beautifully decorated

Beautiful cabin in the woods

This was or third year here and we love it. The place is always so clean and the owners are great! It feels like home when we are there. We take our dog and she just loves to run in the woods and chase the squirrels. Would recommend this place to everyone!!!!

About the host

Hosted by John & Sandra O'Reilly

Host profile image
We, John & Sandra, moved the Cabin to its present site in 2003 when we built a B & B, which is now called the Lodge, across the field. The cabin was completely remodeled at that time and has been continuously improved since.

The Lodge and Cabin are our retirement projects which we have found to be really enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

Unique about the Cabin is that it is located on our woodland with miles of private trails and a great view of the St. Croix River Valley. The trails are for hiking in summer and snowshoeing in winter (we have complimentary snowshoes).

What makes this property unique

There are over three miles of groomed trails that wind through our woods and past the Beaver Pond. You can hike on our trails or, if you prefer, from May through October, tour with a golf cart which is complimentary. In winter we have snowshoes.
