Farm stay in Cresco

Tailwind Cottage

Joanne Rating, 5 stars2 days ago

My husband and I loved this cozy little cottage to relax after a day of exploring this part of the state! It was a nice, peaceful end to our day! Flannery did a great job of communicating with us and gave great information for us to feel right at home! It was very clean and had everything we needed. We plan to come back! Would highly recommend!

Hideaway Camper by the Cave 2.0

KelliRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This was our second stay here at the hideaway camper and it won't be the last. If you don't want to venture out into town there is plenty to do on the property. The waterfall and creek create a magical experience that I don't think can be experienced anywhere else. Uncle John and Rose are very friendly and respond within in a couple of minutes. We can't wait to back.

Brooke's place is a gem in Lanesboro. Just a few blocks from the main part of downtown, you get two bedrooms a kitchen and and a washer/dryer. Very clean and comfortable. A huge value. My son and I walked to the main strip downtown several times. We also biked from Brooke's house a few blocks to the Root River Trail. Everything that Lanesboro has to offer -- just outside your door!
