About this property
Treehouse Cabin in the Bluff Woodlands North
Enjoy driftless woodland valley views from this "reimagined rustic", one-room, 12 by 16 foot cabin on posts in the trees. Perfect for guests looking for a camping / glamping experience but prefer lodging accommodations. Linens and towels provided. Corner bunk with 3 twin mattresses. Couch converts to a full bed. Heat, electricity, wi-fi, mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot - New in 2025: air conditioning! Hanging hammock chairs outside underneath the cabin. Private firepit. Shared outdoor seating areas and gas grill. Cabin does not have plumbing. Year-round heated bathhouse with hot water, showers, toilets and drinking water available within 50 feet. Hiking trail and woodland areas to explore on the 14-acre property. Firewood is available for purchase on site. This unit is one of three treehouse cabins available on the property.
If you have any special requests for additional services or amenities, please ask us! We have additional camping and lodging options on site and nearby if you have additional people in your group.
Why stay? Perfect relaxation destination or home base for your Whitewater Valley adventures. Enjoy a campfire in the private fire pit and the amazing stars on a clear night. Check out the trout fishing, hiking, wildlife, wildflowers, fall colors, biking, river tubing, swimming, canoeing or kayaking. Within 2 miles of Whitewater State Park, the Elba Fire Tower, Whitewater State Wildlife Management Area (hunting, trout fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing) and the Whitewater River State Water Trail (canoe/kayak/tube). There is a gas station (bait and fishing supplies, convenience store items), 2 bars and a restaurant/coffee shop within a mile in the town of Elba. The Whitewater Wines Winery is 5.6 miles up the road.
Shared campground amenities:
Bathhouse with 2 private individual rooms, each with a hot shower, vanity and flush toilet.
Propane grill with side burner.
Community area (requires short hike) with tent shelters (2, each 10' x 20'), outdoor furniture, tables, chairs, propane grill w/ side burner, firepit w/ cooking grate/skillet.
Stargazing area with reclining chairs (requires short hike).
Cell service: AT&T typically works well, Verizon works intermittently, and T-mobile doesn't have a good signal.
Wi-fi: Available at the cabin, data speeds up to 25 Mbps.
Parking: On site, 2 vehicle limit, no vehicles larger than a full-size truck, no trailers.
Host accessibility: Available 24/7/365 via phone and email/messaging, frequently on site.
Security: Campground community areas are under video surveillance.
Setting: Aefintyr campground is located in the hilly, wooded, blufflands of the Whitewater River Valley just north of the tiny town of Elba, MN. Views are primarily of the woods and valleys. The campground is off of a 2 lane county highway so there is some intermittent road noise. It is otherwise very peaceful and filled with the sounds of nature, including lots of birds and other wildlife.
Aefintyr is a peaceful place with chill vibes and we like to keep it that way! It is not a place for parties or rowdy groups. We like to listen to nature, not loud music or rowdy people blabbering into the night. Please see our rules/polices to know what to expect.
