Park at Dragon Loft at 1st right, and Raven Watch at very end of drive. *We have free range chickens and friendly border collie. Sometimes there's a dog staying at the other cabin. Wildlife is also in the area, so we require that dogs be supervised and leashed, for their safety, and our wild animal neighbors. No dogs may be left unattended in our cabins while you go out!

We keep the peace and quiet of all of our guests in mind. *DRAGON LOFT has one double bed in a loft with steep ladder. Great for two people. Room for dog bed or kennel below the loft.

Raven Watch Cabin by the Pond

100%

(28)

Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet

Raven Watch is a pretty, solar powered rustic cabin at Woods and Meadows Farm that has a comfortable futon bed downstairs next to the wood stove, and limited kitchen with a small propane stove and oven good for a pizza, a wash basin, etc. You can add up to two more people (four total). Up the sturdy (steep) steps there is another bed for two in the bedroom loft, with more screened ventilating windows and a beautiful view of the pond and trees surrounding the cabin. There is a little dock into the pond and a sitting area by the fire ring outside of your front door. Keep in mind that there is no shower or running water. *This site is not ADA accessible. You must also be able-bodied to climb the steps to the loft. Your cabin is remote, yet close to Duluth (35 minutes) and Jay Cooke State Park (15 minutes). It was built with trees from this property, using our own sawmill, the summer of 2021. There is a good gravel drive to Raven Watch, a quarter mile into the property next to our pond. Near your cabin is a picnic table and another fire ring above Clear Creek. Park by the cabin between the hayfield and pond. We have solar power for lights, plus a wood stove for your use on cool nights. Firewood, commercial drinking water, disposable eating utensils, coffee, tea, other basics provided. Dogs are welcome, and must remain on a leash. And you know the routine in regard to “doggie bags” :-) Plus be aware while you are on hikes… This neck of the woods has porcupines, the occasional bears, predators, deer, skunks, and all kinds of interesting things that a doggy might love to chase! We mostly just want the wildlife to be kept in peace, but we want your dog to have a good experience as well. :) —We also have free-range chickens that we would love to keep alive. (We have lost some to guest dogs before…) *Guests will be charged extra cleaning fees for any damage or indoor dog accidents; i.e. peeing on furniture, carpet, or sleeping in beds! *The solar battery won't reliably power a fridge, C-PAP, rice cookers, heating pads/electric blanket, or any heating elements!! -but you will have light for the evening and enough power to charge your cellphone and a radio. (Our solar inverter has been burned out twice by people who have broken the heating element rules! Very expensive for us/you to replace.) Please enjoy your rustic stay without relying on these items! We will meet you when you arrive to show you around, and there is camp info in a folder at the cabin. There are two cabins on the property, and yours is furthest from the house, with trails into the woods for you to hike. Enjoy! *Kindly keep in mind that space (for dogs plus humans) is limited if there are more than two adults. We ask that you bring kennels or dog beds... (no dogs in bed!) Thanks! -Do not leave your dog alone in the cabin if you go out and about. We all want to avoid damage or sad and anxious dogs! ;) *This property is NOT recommended for small children.

Excellent and restful trip. The cabin was cozy and had everything I needed for a lovely weekend up north. The farm is beautiful and I enjoyed the company of sweet Daisy each morning while I had my morning coffee on the porch. Would love to stay again the next time I’m headed up to that area.

This site was beautiful and tranquil. There is a creek full of life and a gorgeous wildflower meadow. Charming sounds of frogs and birds can be heard. Very relaxing and pleasant.
