Weekend Trip to Cuyuna/Mississippi River Land

Site #3 is super pretty and secluded, right along the bank of the Mississippi. Nicely stacked firewood was very helpful for fires, especially with the rainy weekend we had. Hosts were friendly and had good communication in case we needed anything!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

Absolutely Beautiful!!! We rented the cabin for an Anniversary getaway. We loved the fact there was no TV and the only clock was on the stove. Had a fantastic stay and will definitely go again. Probably invite friends next time as there is plenty of room and beds.

4 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

The cabin on the lake was so perfect and peaceful. The beavers on the lake were active floating around and we even saw an eagle! The cabin is rustic and clean.

1 night at Tumbleweed Base Camp

So many deer! I got in late, but David still greeted me and gave me a tour and was incredibly accomodating. Its a beautiful calm spot to spend time when you're alone, but if you go in season, I could see it as a fun bustling spot to make new friends.

1 night at Velkommen to Norske Camp!

Cool camp, there are lots of extra amenities on site, paper towels, charcoal, lighter fluid etc. Nice fire pit with all the tools you could need to stole the fire and cook. The outhouse was clean and had sanitizer inside. It's directly next to the Paul Bunyan trail so that is a plus. The owner was helpful and and sent me info prior to my visit and was available if needed. There was also a cool black cat named Boo that hung out with me, it was an unexpected bonus.

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We loved our stay at the cabin and hope to visit again

3 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

The cabin was perfect for a wintery getaway! Paul was a gracious host who went the extra mile (literally) to meet us at the road’s entrance with a snowplow-equipped jeep to make sure we didn’t get stuck in the snow. The space was surprisingly spacious with lots of spots to hang out indoors. We enjoyed the wood stove, games and puzzles, and the bed was very comfy. We look forward to coming back when it’s warm enough weather to swim and take the canoe out on the water.

Weekend Trip to Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

Paul's place is a true gem - and Paul + Piper are gems of hosts! We enjoyed a cozy and very cold winter weekend warm and comfy by the wood stove, walking out on the frozen lake, enjoying good conversations with Paul, and even getting some sweet tips on the happenings in town. Already so excited to come back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

This place is a treasure. So many unique details, and it was bigger than expected. Comfortable beds, great lighting, and a huge bathroom. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

The cabin is clean and cozy. The kitchen has everything you need - you don't need to bring any pans or cooking utensils. Important note: the description says that the bunk is a twin bunk. It is not. It is two full-sized beds (not queens), bunked one on top of the other. There is another bed in the other room which is a twin. The kitchen and bathroom have separate heating that was very warm. The main sleeping/living/dining room has baseboard heating and the wood stove, and that room was a little harder to get warm - bring warm blankets and sleeping clothes. It was very quiet, not many homes on the lake, and the cabin is far enough off the main road that we couldn't see or hear cars. We were able to find the cabin easily from the directions. We wished it was closer to hiking trails; like a lot of the state forests in that area it seemed that a lot of the trails are for ATVs or snowmobiles. But we will keep looking. We did get snow while we were there and got out on the lake in snowshoes which was wonderful.

3 nights at Harvest Loon Camp

Perfect combination of rustic cabin with luxurious creature comforts. We loved the main cabin for relaxing around the wood stove, but we also loved the luxurious modern bathroom. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

Harvest Loon Camp is a very secluded cabin that was perfect to disconnect for a short weekend. It is a nice mix of a rustic atmosphere with some modern amenities. We even had some decent cell service. We spent of our time hiking the nearby trails and catching up on our reading. Our German Shepherd spent most of her time napping and keeping warm by the wood fire stove. Thank you for a great getaway!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We had a great time here! We were really impressed by all of the upgrades that have been made, while still keeping the original charm of the cabin. The wood-burning stove in the main room was a highlight and a cozy way to keep warm all weekend. We will return next year, maybe to watch the leaves change. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We fell in love with this place! Charming and perfect balance of rustic and modern touches. We loved spending time at the fire pit outside and also chatting around the wood stove inside. The kitchen is well equipped and the added bathroom is great too. We loved reading about the history and comparing the old photos to what it looks like now. We want to come back every season!!

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

We loved the spacious sites, very private. The pine trees are beautiful.

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

We loved camping on Allen’s land. We enjoyed how quiet and to yourself you are in this camp ground. We highly recommend this if you like outdoors and nature.

Quite peaceful and an outstanding cabin to stay at. This is our third visit here and we plan on coming again. Thanks again!

Tumbleweed Base Camp

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Detroit Lakes, MN

This old homestead belonged to my belated uncle Steve, and after he passed unexpectedly, I had returned to Minnesota from California and wanted to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for those interested in sharing a peaceful and modest property. The old barn is a work in progress to eventually become the base to accommodating more travelers and outdoor enthusiasts as finances permit. After working in the service industry bartending for 14 years and hosting 100+ global travelers via CouchSurfing out of San Diego, I am well versed in creating an inviting space, it has been a fulfilling endeavor. We look forward to meeting you and sharing/swapping stories around the campfire! Learn more about this land: Our property and profile are in constant change as we are in a stage of development, but we look to share our land with those seeking to enjoy a warm, welcome environment for those fellow wanderers, outdoor enthusiasts, vagabonds, and globetrotters. I am a well-traveled backpacker myself and share 5 1/2 acres with my father here in a bustling little touristy town. We enjoy the company of those who endorse small footprint, sustainable practices and like to establish meaningful connections. All we ask is that you respect the property, our neighbors, and make an effort to add one more new friend before you depart.
