Hidden Springs Hideaway is a little oasis, nestled in the woods. Located in southeastern Minnesota's driftless region, where you are surrounded by rolling green hills, the Zumbro River and limestone bluffs.
Only a half-mile to the quaint town of Mantorville (some call it the Stars Hollow of Minnesota) where you'll find a cute coffee shop, antique stores, a breakfast spot in an old school house, a park on the river, a restaurant built in the 1850s and a saloon with drinks and live music.
The Hidden Spring Hideaway is an off-grid, sustainable glamping experience set on a 25-acre working homestead just 15 miles west of Rochester, MN. Along with forest views and trails, don’t be surprised if a few friendly chickens wander by to say hello. Enjoy a pot of coffee or a bottle of wine, among the trees.
The bell-shaped canvas tent provides private sleeping accommodations for two (a real queen bed, not an air mattress), an outdoor kitchen space and a gravel patio to relax with a campfire. The property offers walking trails throughout the 25-acre woods with mature trees, an array of birds, flowers, a food forest, wildcraft medicinal herbs and the Zumbro River for guest enjoyment. If you would like a tour of the woodland property, one of the site hosts - Steve (a tree expert), would gladly show you around the land. Please send a message and we will arrange this for you.
Please note, the Hidden Spring Hideaway has no running water or electricity. Everything is run on solar, rechargeable batteries and propane. There is adequate lighting inside and outside, plus lanterns, flashlights and headlamps for your use. For drinking, cooking and washing, there is a three-gallon cooler full of water for you. You're welcome to bring more of your own water as well or there is a convenience store a half-mile down the road (Casey's). There is a new outhouse on the property that includes a bench seat toilet. There is compostable material provided to sprinkle in after you finish your business. Handwashing supplies are provided.
Firewood is available for purchase. $5 a bundle. Please message me at least a day before your stay to reserve and it will be delivered to the site.
Add-on a sauna + cold plunge experience for $75.

We had a family of 7, kids age range 2-14. Stayed in beautiful off grid cabin, kids loved taking turns in the loft. Very private and far removed from the family house. Beautiful trails and view of corn fields. Clean, nice outhouse setup. We didn't have mosquitoes, which i was surprised by.
They allow you to go in the animal pen as you please and we all enjoyed the goats and chicks following behind their mamas...and we wanted to take the sweet calf home with us.
This is a fantastic hip camp experience. We stayed just two nights but there are plenty of things to do in the area to extend the stay.

My 9 year old and I had a perfect little getaway here. We started by exploring the town and were warmly welcomed into so many places: the old school house, Finds on 5th, the Chocolate Shoppe, the Opera House (where we got to see an impromptu play where we got to yell at the villain and cheer the hero), Hubble House (oldest restaurant in MN) and the Artist Guild. We then made our way to our Hidden Spring glamping site.
We were met there by the owner’s dad, Steve. He took us on a wonderful tour of the property in his side-by-side that included the property’s history and information about the trees and ecology and plans for the future. He was very generous with his time and patient with my daughter as she asked to stop and meandered about in the river and picking wild strawberries. It was clear that the family has put a lot of time and effort into maintaining and developing it.
The campsite itself is beautiful. It sits up above the property and you can look down into the forest. The tent is well laid out, welcoming and, despite the high heat and humidity while we were there, smelled and felt very fresh. Everything you need is included, including battery powered fans (2 of them), headlamps, games and books, tea and coffee. The bathroom is a shed that has been converted into an outhouse and is clean and dry and has fairy lights inside to light it up.
We both highly recommend staying here, both for the site itself and for the welcoming community in which it resides!

2 nights at The Flipping RV
We loved our time at the Flipping RV! Plus I had no regrets for the extra treat calories I brought because we worked them off going up and down the stairs!
Baxter, my elder dog, got to swim for the second time in his 13 years, which was my number one goal! For future guests, there is a short rocky walk-out or you can use the ladder on the platform or jump off the dock, to get in the water. There’s really no “shore.” We enjoyed the inflatable kayak.
Late at night a neighbor across the bay said “what’s your name???” Slowly. It was hilarious. He also repeated it in the morning. We thought he was doing the Tony/Ezekiel meme but when we said Tony, he didn’t reply. Ha!
For other dog- guests, there are two neighbor dogs (chain link fence) and they were super chill and didn’t make any noise or have much interaction with my dog. There are off-leash dogs along the road if you go for a walk. Some will bark at you, the stranger! Friendly tho.
We got to enjoy the RV during a big thunderstorm and it was charming. I also made good use of the cabin kitchen even using an included slow cooker (with liners provided!) to make a chuck roast.
AC is a BEAST and the fridge, freezer worked well. Appreciated the little extras like sun block and bug spray and tons of little touch button lights. Nicole was super fast to reply to a few questions.
It rained quite a bit but hardly any bugs. No ticks, but dog didn’t get to go in the woods. We did see lightning bugs but no stars. Next time!

We brought our two kids (21 months and 2 months) and had a blast with the goats! They were right next to the camp. We had snores for the first time here. The cabin was perfect, and Cathy ran up a couple of battery powered portable fans for the heat of the day. Easily our favorite Hipcamp we’ve ever been to! Location was great too at 10-15 min away from Lanesboro for lunch.

The cabin was nice with two twin mattresses and one full. Outhouse was clean. Zip lines were fun for the kids. There was no running water on the property. And our dog loved chasing deer and rabbits. Good location, nice size property to wander around and my family would enjoy camping here again. Thanks Edward!

Such a gorgeous property and a great place to camp! We stayed in the a frame and while the lot it sits on was a bit small it was still perfect for us and two dogs. We stayed for two nights and ended up being the only ones there for a little while which was perfect for the dogs and lots of area to walk around that we all loved! We already have another trip planned to come back in a couple weeks would definitely recommend!

The RV and location were beautiful. Even though the neighbors are not far, it was quiet and everyone was incredibly respectful of each other. It was a perfect place for us to walk out and fish, enjoy an evening fire and relax. Nicole and her husband were responsive and kind hearted. We wish them the best on their RV endeavor and will likely make a trip back.

2 nights at The Edge
We had a great time at the Edge! It seemed like we were the first campers of the season so we did have to clear out a lot of cobwebs and air out the space. The water also wasn't running. However we were the only ones there and stayed super dry in the cabin during the rain! Will be back soon!

Third time at The Edge charming rustic cabin since earlier this summer. It was wonderful to see the seasonal differences of the surrounding corn and soy bean fields over the months. Other than the host Edward stopping by on the day of arrival to show me the ropes of the wood stove, my dog and I had complete solitude for four nights. Like my last two visits, I hit the weather jackpot with sunny breezy days near 65-70 degrees and mild nights. Hard to imagine tiring of this sweet place. Edward has been timely in responding to all my questions and for those who aren't familiar with the general area, everything you can imagine for your camping/cabin/food needs are about 10 minutes away (Fleet Farm, Menards, various fast and slow food restaurants, etc.).
