3 nights at The little cabin

Nice, quiet getaway! We slept in tents in our getaway and used the little cabin to keep our gear out of the elements. It was really nice to have the mini fridge and a microwave to help us with our meal prep. Would definitely come back again!

Weekend Trip to Pearsons Century Farm

What a great place to unplug from electronics. The animals were so cute and peaceful. Travis was very accommodating and answered any questions we had. Many acres to roam, weather was amazing as was our site that we had. Many to choose from. Goats were so funny and donkeys were cute and sweet, we wanted to take one home. My one pup thought she was a baby goat I think, she fit right in their pen and hung out several times. Brought home some farm fresh eggs and hamburger for a very inexpensive price. Thank you Travis! We enjoyed our relaxing weekend on your farm. Tammy, Makenna, Tootsie, and Duke

Weekend Trip to Paquin Farm

Nice place. Very quiet after dark. Dave was very accommodating.

Weekend Trip to The Oaks at Oakwood Farm

Very organized signs and directions to get to the site. The gate system was very easy to figure out and going past the little hobby farm of goats, chickens, horses, etc. was a joy. Fairly well groomed farm road through the woods led to a nicely open, but shady site that was tidy. Fire pit was very nice to use, some fire tools for provided along with a fire extinguisher and a picnic table at the site. Just down the road (a short walking distance) there was an outhouse and water source to wash hands as well as trash cans that made it very easy to clean up after yourself. We very much enjoyed all the bird and farm noises, the space was peaceful and private. There was some road noise but it was distant and didn't really bother us. We would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to The Camps at the Vineyards

Enjoyed our time and the creek view, so peaceful and relaxing. Thanks Carl!

Weekend Trip to Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

Alpha and Omega is a true vibe. You're surrounded by goats, pigs, cows, alpacas and horses in an idyllic setting. Saturday pizza night was a blast! Kimberly was super sweet. The cinnamon rolls and coffee in the morning were excellent. The glamping tent was great. I'm 6' 3" and love being able to stand up and have plenty of space. Queen bed was comfy and had a lot of warm blankets - the wood stove kept us warm on a night that was in the low 40s. Make sure to order your pizzas early as they are busy these evenings.

Weekend Trip to The Woods

🔥 Perfect Vibes. Best spot I have found for a while, will be returning.

Weekend Trip to The little cabin

This little place was exactly what we needed as a place to crash with our dog on a little road trip to pick up a vehicle. It is small and cute and thoughtfully put together. We didn’t have a fire but there was plenty of firewood available. There is an outhouse a short walk away from the cabin. It was somewhat chilly outside and the small electric heater was plenty just go get the place warm for bed time. It’s nice that there’s a fridge and microwave, a small futon couch, and a fold up/down counter with folding chairs that tuck away. There were hooks to hang coats, and a few odds and ends (books, map, binoculars, matches) on the shelves above. Would recommend for a short stay to crash.

3 nights at Paquin Farm

It’s a very nice and quiet place with beautiful view and the site is in great condition, I highly recommend!

1 night at The Oaks at Oakwood Farm

Although there is road noise, the campsites are back in the woods and you definitely feel isolated. Jon obviously cares about his animals and the property and trees. The site was well-maintained and directions were clear. He answered promptly when I had a question. This is a working farm so you do have to be mindful of gates and livestock as you enter. It's a nice respite from the hustle and bustle. I was only staying one night to break up a long drive but I really enjoyed the peace and scenery.

Weekend Trip to Paquin Farm

Low-key, quiet, super nice people! Close to a lot of different things!

Weekend Trip to The Oaks at Oakwood Farm

Had a great time! It was quiet, private, spacious, and easy to get to. The best part was the turkey who lives on the farm spending the entire evening with us and even sleeping in our camp! He was super friendly and brought great vibes. Such a great spot for not being too far from the city. Would highly recommend!

1 night at The little cabin

Cabin was super cool! Spot was peaceful and private. Would stay again

Weekend Trip to The Camps at the Vineyards

Great space with the river winding through the property. A lot of the sites feel like you’re completely alone because of the forest. I definitely plan to stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

Kim and her husband were extremely hospitable and accommodating. The property is well maintained and groomed. The tent and sauna were clean. The pizza was fantastic and timely. And the fact they provided fire wood was an extreme value we haven’t seen anywhere else. We look forward and already planning our second trip out to Alpha and Omega.

Weekend Trip to Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

The whole evening was great! The farm was so cute and the animals that were right outside the tent, and we came for a pizza event the evening before, which really added to the experience with live music & BYOB, but they had delicious pizzas! Kim was the best and made time to talk to us at dinner and accommodate our morning coffee time request. :) would definitely recommend! And the wool blanket, plus others kept us super warm all night.

Nice spot to camp just outside of the cities, picnic table, and outhouse was a nice addition. Far enough away from structures and people to enjoy the peace

Spirits of the Forest

13 sites · Lodging81 acres · Mora, MN

How we ended up in Knife Lake Township on 81 acres of forested land. We began looking for land in late fall of 1996. After several months of searching, we happened upon a tiny newspaper ad for 81 acres of land described as "Beautiful, secluded, mature hardwoods, tall pines w/creek & beaver pond, many gd bldg sites & great hunting". We toured the property, covered in almost two feet of snow, on a snowmobile in January 1997 and fell in love with it. We have been stewards of this piece of land for 25 years and are still enamored of its beauty and diversity. We are lulled to sleep by the sounds of owls and bullfrogs and the distant yipping of coyotes. Spring through fall we are often awakened by the rattling, honking of sandhill cranes and a wide variety of bird songs. Besides deer and lots of small critters, we've seen bear, bobcat, rafters of turkeys, quail, grouse, pheasant, owls, hawks and eagles. The sky, on a clear night, is breathtaking. We have always visualized sharing the land with others, so come and immerse yourself in this bountiful space.
