We purchased the property in 2003 in order to escape the city life and be closer to nature. Over the years we have developed our sustainable farm, raising grass-fed cattle, free-range chickens, turkeys, pigs and vegetables. We work hard to maintain practices that heal the land and preserve it for the future. No chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides or herbicides are used here. We raised our four children here and have made many memories together as we learned to farm, build and enjoy our land. We continue to create and build towards a long-term vision, creating a haven for artisans with self-sufficient living in mind.
Welcome to our inviting custom built cottage. It is located on our property, approximately 300' from on our home on our 88 acre land plot, located 10 minutes outside of St. Joseph, MN. We are very near St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict. Hiking trails located on our property as well as nearby County parks and St. John's University. We are 6 miles from the Wobegon Trail (76 miles long) which is great for biking, roller blading, walking and running.
Come explore Creekwood Acres which is host to a great deal of wild life as well as sustainably raised animals with a process we call rejuvenative farming. Wander through the woods and listen to the birds, watch monarch butterflies, our cattle, pigs, free-range chickens, and hear the frogs, crickets and occasionally distant coyotes. The Watab Creek runs through the property which consists of fields, forest and a pond.
Our cozy cottage was built by our family using lumber sawn on our property. There are two double beds up in the loft accessible by ladder
and one queen size sofa sleeper
on the main level . A wood burning stove keeps the cottage cozy in cooler weather. There is a composting sawdust toilet in the cottage and an exterior outhouse, running water with a hot shower. Electricity keeps the cottage aglow and runs a refrigerator, microwave, sound system and fans. Also available for your convenience, an apartment size
range/oven.
Enjoy a fire in a private
fire ring near the cottage. Firewood available for purchase (for exterior fire ring). Enjoy a wood-fired sauna upon request. The sauna has been known to get quite hot!
At this time, we are taking reservations for the Cottage. We are currently working on developing campsites and another rustic cabin
on the property for people who wish to tent camp with a goal of creating a unique experience and wonderful memories. Theres so much more to come and your current support to help with our reinvestment in Creekwood Acres is so greatly appreciated!!!
Side Note: We truly strive to accommodate everybody's needs and wishes. The more we host,
the more I understand some people just want to be left to enjoy a quiet weekend while others love to engage and develop a connection. I love to engage and develop connections and yet completely respect the desire for others privacy
to the utmost degree. I try to let the guest set the stage and expectations based on the first greeting and any encounters. Please feel free to state your hopes and wishes, Also..., we are passionate about our farming methods with a strong sense of homesteading. If your are interested in learning more about regenerative farming or would like to secure a plot of land of your own, but are unable to secure financing..., our Realestate holdings company may be able to help finance that for you. Our quest with this thought would be
to bring people back to the land in a holistic, spiritual, and conscientious
manner.

5 nights at Cozy Lakeside Cottage Guestroom
This was exactly what I was looking for. The property (and expected experience) is accurately described.
The property, including the cottage/camping area is bordered by trees and brush on two sides and the lake (with a dense growth of cattails) on the third.
Even though cottage/camping area is technically a spacious "backyard" I did feel like I was camping. The "cottage" is pretty much the size of an Expedition tent.
I stayed for five nights. I precooked my meals and home intending to heat them over the fire but ended using the microwave instead.
For this time year (late October) this is good option. If the weather gets nasty (too cold or even snow) the "cottage" is a wonderful backup.

Perfect cabin for our little girls winter get away. The wood stove kept us nice and toasty, despite the bellow 0 weather. hosts were very accommodating. Nice and private. Beautiful spot and loved watching the dogs and cows frolic around. Kitchen had everything we needed even a toaster & microwave. This space was plenty of room for the 3 of us. I would definitely stay here again! Although getting up into the loft was okay for us, if you don’t do well with patters this could be tricky for the 2 beds in the loft the the sofa pulled out into a nice bed on main level. That said the latter going up to the loft is fixed to the wall and very sturdy. The loft it’s self was very sturdy and not creeky at all. Lovely place all around.

We had a wonderful weekend at Todd and Sarah's cabin who were ever so kind and helpful. They were always quick to reply and would give us a heads up before they left the property to make sure we had all we needed.
We unintentionally picked one of the colder weekends for our adventure but the wood stove kept us nice and toasty, especially while sleeping in the loft. The loft had a beautiful view of the farm, and a telescope to gaze at the stars at night.
We regrettably did not take advantage of the camp fire or sauna due to the brutally cold weather, but it gives us something to look forward to on our next trip! It was a very luxurious and private weekend.

We came back for our second stay and brought the kids (12 and 14) this time. They loved soaking in the calm, natural "vibe" as they would say. 24 hrs felt like much longer as we're leaving feeling relaxed and full of memories of board games, sauna, reading, and hiking around in the snow.
Thank you Sarah & Todd

We absolutely loved Todd and Sarah’s property and had everything we needed for our short stay. Todd and Sarah are very accommodating and have a wonderful place here. They have put a lot of thought into the amenities provided and how everything is set up. My son really enjoyed the loft area and the animals. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer. Perfect place to get away and find some peace and quiet, yet still close to town!

Weekend Trip to Cozy Lakeside Cottage Guestroom
Cozy Cottage is quaint and very private. It's essentially a little cabin is a spacious backyard with private boardwalk access to the lake. The cabin was clean and had thoughtful touches to make the stay more enjoyable like a window A/C and portable space heater. There was a ceiling fan as well, and with the screened windows, made for a cozy evening. The bed is very, very soft. The access to the private, modern full bath was a quick minute walk from the cabin. If you want a campfire there's practically unlimited fire wood. We enjoyed our stay. It was a quiet getaway we hoped for.
