About this property

Heritage hideaway-Secluded Log Cabin

Heritage Hideaway is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with loved ones. A peaceful and scenic setting to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, or just escape the daily grind. Located on 25 acres of steep bluffs and mature hardwood forest, our main cabin is a fully furnished and modern Amish built log cabin.

A true hideaway, the cabin is tucked back off the main road, yet close to many recreational opportunities. Relax around a campfire or listen to the sounds of nature. Take in the scenic views and gather with family where distractions disappear.

Base rates are based on two person occupancy, additional guest fees apply. For groups larger than six, see our separate listing for our Tiny House located on the opposite side of the property: VRBO#873511. Note there is a discount for weekly stays (7 night minimum).

An outstanding experience. Beautiful views, (very) clean and comfortable cabin and so much peace, quiet and tranquility. Just the soothing sounds of wind in the trees and cows grazing the pasture. Cozy and charming with just the right modern touches (high-speed WiFi, powerful water heater) to ensure a smooth stay. As we were packing up, a bald eagle landed outside the window as a parting view. We hope to return for another restorative stay. Thank you for the hospitality and high standards.

Such a wonderful place! Truly recommend this. Clean, quiet and private cozy cabin with fantastic views of woods, valleys and fields. Close to the root river biking trail, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, but far enough to relax in peace. Great hosts and lovely property. Sit and watch fireflies from the front porch and just be at peace.

We had a wonderful time at the Heritage Hideaway!This was our 8th stay. Our 9th stay is scheduled for September.The remoteness and seclusion of this property is the main reason that we continue to return to this property. The fire pit area is a nice bonus. On this visit we saw deer, eagles, and a wide variety of song birds. The Hosts are wonderful. They respond quickly to any and all questions.The cabin is always very clean. Everything that we needed for our stay was provided.We highly recommend a stay at the Heritage Hideaway!

We loved relaxing in this log cabin and in the comfy chairs on the front porch.. It is down a lane in a back field overlooking a valley. Very pretty with trails, a swing, fire pit area, wildlife to enjoy and lots of peace and quiet. The cabin wood floors and steps are squeaky and the bathroom is on the main floor with beds upstairs. Nice thick bathroom towels! Air conditioner worked great, and the beds and chairs are comfortable! Hosts checked in with us an hour after we arrived to make sure we had everything. We rented e-bikes in Preston to ride on the root river trail and mini golfed in Harmony if you need ideas of things to do in the area. There is also a cave.

We loved the space for indoor/outdoor games as a family, quiet nooks to read, and the kitchen/dining area for sharing meals. It was close enough to get to our daily activities in nearby towns, but so quiet and cozy when we wanted to relax!

About the host

Hosted by Troy & Laurie Danielson

Host profile image
Troy was born and raised in the Lanesboro area. He works as an Engineer for Minnesota Department of Transportation in Rochester. In his free time he enjoys hunting, fishing and just generally being outdoors. The Danielson family continues to maintain the original family farm nearby. Laurie grew up in west central Wisconsin on a small hobby farm. She works as a pharmacist for Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She loves living on the Root River and enjoys gardening, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and biking the Root River Bike trail. We feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place and enjoy meeting our guests. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Lanesboro area.

Why they chose this property

The cabin site was once a heavily wooded pasture to a neighboring farm. The main cabin was built off site by local Amish and moved into place in 2001. The original log structure had seasonal indoor plumbing and an outhouse nearby. We purchased the property in 2011 and started work on the bathroom & laundry addition January 1, 2012. In keeping with the "rustic" feel of the cabin, finish work utilized recycled barn boards from Laurie's childhood farm.

What makes this property unique

The pictures and many items in the cabin reflect our personal heritage. From the handmade quilt from Grandma Christine to the barn pulleys from the original Danielson family farm, all are reflecting the value of hard work and thriftiness instilled in us from our ancestors. We hope you enjoy the peace and beauty of Heritage Hideaway and are inspired to reflect on your own personal heritage.
