Gorgeous hidden property. Recently purchased after years of neglect, it is now filled with wildflowers and native plants, with a creek running through the property.
An abandoned cabin gives this place real storybook vibes. One building has been restored to rustic perfection. Wander around and feel like you've stumbled onto the set of the 1993 film The Secret Garden.

We stayed at the cabin. Happy that there was access to a battery pack to light a lamp and charge phones. The cabin was cozy, bed comfortable. Bed was made up with linens and blankets. There were chairs by the fire ring. We enjoyed visiting the chickens and sheep at their pens. We will definitely be returning some day.

We had such a nice stay! My husband and toddler stayed in a tent we set up on the lawn and I stayed with my baby in the cabin. The wood stove kept us plenty warm for the chilly nights. We felt like the spaces were private enough but also part of the community. The farm is great, Sam is very knowledgeable and passionate about the work being done there. We got to meet baby goats and sheep and enjoyed hiking nearby.

The cabin we stayed in was perfect for the two of us. The wood burning stove was beyond efficient in keeping us warm. We were there early March in the middle of the week so they wasn’t much going on. We went mainly for a relaxing getaway. Sam was extremely communicative and quick with responses to my questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. We will go back, a yurt next time.

Our camping trip was absolutely amazing! The Daisy Hill cabin was clean, cozy, and comfortable a perfect spot to unwind after exploring. Sam was super communicative and helpful, and everyone on the farm was so welcoming. James was incredibly kind and even helped us milk the goats and collect eggs from the chicken coop. Such a fun, hands-on experience! Sarah did a fantastic job sharing the history of the farm and letting us play with the goats.
We also loved supporting the nonprofit organization behind the farm. Their mission is truly inspiring and something we’re proud to be part of. The farm itself was beautiful, the market veggies were fresh and delicious, and having access to the learning center for Wi-Fi and clean restrooms was a huge plus.
Overall, a 10/10 experience. We can’t wait to come back with more family and friends!

This was our second time staying at Whispering Pines Campground, and we just had to come back for their Fall Fest! My little boys (ages 4 and 2) had an absolute blast — from the mini pumpkin patch and petting zoo to the pony petting, playground, and carnival games. There was so much to do, and the amazing food trucks meant we never had to leave the campground for meals! The staff were so friendly and helpful, and both the cabin and bathhouse were spotless and well-maintained. We can’t wait to come back again next year! Spring break can't come soon enough!

We are typically super primitive camping types but my daughter said “hey mom can we have 4 walls, AC, and electricity but still have adventure?”. Well of course I said and this was the perfect mix. AC, microwave and mini fridge with actual beds was a great treat! We cooked on the grill and had a fire in the fire pit every night. Close to the Hennepin Canal for a hike or Geneseo for a cute town. Loved the close bathrooms and shower yet felt like you were away.
Suggestions: bring a wagon if you have a lot to bring to your site or cabin as you cannot pull up to your spot. Bring your own bedding. Do not bring firewood as it can endanger the local trees but firewood there is very very well priced!

It was serene & peaceful sleeping in a rustic cabin & 2 yurts with a gazillion stars overhead. Sam was a gracious host with a passion for regenerative farming. Very kind, very comfortable, very welcoming. It reminded us to respect the animals, the terra, the planet we inhabit & be grateful.
Truly a worthwhile experience to escape the noise & reset.
Thank you Sam
