About this property

Quaint seclusion, steps from the backwaters of the Mississippi.

This quaint cabin rests on the backwaters of the Mississippi, minutes from beautiful downtown Red Wing, Mn and 45 min from the Twin Cities.

Enjoy the serenity of an early morning sunrise on the deck, walk along the water or a nighttime bonfire. This place is a perfect get away for folks who love the outdoors or that just need a beautiful destination to relax.

This cabin features a queen bed and a futon in the living room that folds into a double bed. You can enjoy steaks on the grill or have the convenience of pizza delivery. Walk down to the riverside fire pit and enjoy s'mores around the fire.

Fishing enthusiasts, bring a pole or even land your boat on the beach. The back channel boat landing is mere 2 miles away. Splash the boat and pull right up to shore. The backwaters are also a great place to paddle kayaks or a canoe.

Note: Our cabin is located on Mississippi River floodplain. If you are booking April/May or Oct/Nov there is a small chance that your stay may be affected by river level. We monitor river levels and will provide you with that information ASAP. The cabin is not affected by flash floods, only by slow rising of the Mississippi River.

A very nice place to stay and get away from it all. Outside lights and two fire pits. The only negative is that it is a very small place. Didn't really have any place to put our luggage. But it was very quaint, quiet and clean.

Great spot

Came for a weekend get away with my husband and had a great time. The small cabin has just what you need. We made use of the snow shoes available and the board games and had fun exploring Red Wing a bit.

This was our second start at this cabin and it was just as wonderful as the first. The location is beautiful and so peaceful. Spending time by the river and watching the wildlife was so much fun. We will definitely be back again

Great Little Get-away

We LOVED the location! We had a blast just chilling on the two swinging benches right by the river. It was so peaceful as we only saw two people on the river the whole time. There were such cute fire pits with lights and plenty of games and other supplies. It was the perfect fit for us! Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful!

We loved everything about our stay in this Bungalow! It was a beautiful location and the inside decor was perfect! It was very clean and I don't say that very often! The fire pits and swings by the water made it even more special but the weather was not our friend, so we'll have to go back to enjoy them. We enjoyed shopping in Red Wing and hope to hike the next time! We'll definitely stay here again!

Great Retreat Site

Great place for a private retreat in isolation - it’s at the end of a road, immediately adjacent to the WI channel of the Mississippi River. A little boat traffic and periodic train, but nothing that is disturbing. There are two separate fire pits at your disposal with plenty of firewood too! Cabin is small but perfect for 1 or 2.

Just perfect!

This is such a little gem of a spot, tucked away on a private lot along the Mississippi back channels. We felt we had privacy and serenity even though we could technically see neighboring houses. We spent long hours sitting with the river and wildlife. Easy access to red wing and great river road. Will definitely be back! Thank you!

This property was just as advertised. The cabin is cozy and very well appointed. The bed is extremely comfortable. The host was very responsive to any and all questions, and was able to accommodate a last-minute schedule change. We will most certainly be back to enjoy the quiet setting and beautiful river view. Highly recommended!
