RadRo Farms at Hippie House

10 acre parcel with a 70’s split level house built by a former state representative. The land used to be a farm but is now mostly tall grasses and goldenrod. We have a large vegetable and berry garden and a large native flower garden. We have a chicken house and blankets of fireflies in the summer and beautiful sunsets that face the campsite. Sometimes it’s really quiet and sometimes you can hear the highway noise. 

The campsite looking towards the house. Should be nicer soon!

Cooking equipment

Come mid summer enjoy a walk through the pollinator habitat and enjoy the blooms of summer. Half the farm is dedicated to space for our beloved pollinators.

The Farm at Heirloomista

The Farm used to be part of a larger, old farm until one day it was parceled off. It sat vacant for 15 years until I bought it to create a biodynamic farm. It's now it the fourth season of growing heirlooms vegetables, flowers and herbs. As a nature-lover, I designated 2 acres to pollinator habitat. Come walk the path through and discover all the critters that like to hang out in this safe haven.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent and enjoy an night on the farm. Stay up to watch the star with no light pollution. Wake up to the cranes visiting the fields in the morning. 

The pollinator field path is a highlight of the farm.

Cook over the campfire as the sun goes down.

The campsite is tucked away behind the food prep and picnic area.

Cozy Lakeside Cottage Guestroom

Spend some cozy downtime enjoying a fire and the peacefulness of a 4 acre lake property.
You and your guest (or small-very small) group will be the only ones around as we don't rent to more than one booking at a time.
Paddle on the paddleboard for free or rent the kayak for only $10 a day and explore the lake while getting some exercise.
Take a hot shower and sleep in a comfortable bed- all for less than a hotel room in the concrete jungle!

**We do require a photo of a valid government ID from all members of your party.
This is due within 24 hours of booking, or immediately after booking if it's a same day booking.
Although we would love to share our property with you, note this is for liability purposes and is non-negotiable.
When booking, please acknowledge that you have read this requirement and plan on complying with it. If not received within the specified time frame, your booking will be cancelled.
Please text photos of these ID's to the number provided after booking.
Thank you for being understanding.

Cozy lakeside cottage that sleeps two, with level lawn space nearby that will fit two additional tents in your group.  Dedicated private space is in lower level backyard with best view and access to dock*, lake and wildlife wetlands with boardwalk.  You'll see the setting sun from the end of the dock and have a paver patio firepit with plenty of seating all to yourselves.  Private 3/4 bath and comfortable TV room is 60 steps away in the house, and we are also offering a shared laundry for an additional charge.  Mystic Lake Casino, Canterbury Downs, and many other area lakes besides the 600 acre all sports lake that the property is located on are in the immediate area.  For location purposes, we are located 3.5 miles S of the Prior Lake, MN McDonald's. 

The basic price of $80 per night includes up to two campers inside or outside of the  cottage,  but up to two additional campers and tents are able to added to the reservation for $20 per person/ per night.  A limit of two persons inside of the cottage and four persons total are allowed per reservation.  Please note that all persons on the reservation must submit a copy of their valid picture government ID to the host (via text) prior to arrival (but after booking), and sign a property liability waiver and upon check in.   The host will discuss the procedure with you as HC supports pictures via real phone numbers accessed only after booking.  Please ask prior to booking if you have any questions about this- this is a requirement of our short term rental insurance, and part of our self check in procedure. 

We are a 100% smoke and pet (all animals) free property.  We also do not allow any events, parties or children. The minimum age of campers allowed to book here is 23 and if you are bringing your children with you, they must be 18 plus and also must sign all waivers and provide their ID's.  

This is a great place for a small, quiet gathering of your group with a private, clean bathroom and a lakefront location on a small acreage.  However, it is for quiet getaways only, and is an owner occupied and monitored property.  

If you have any questions regarding this listing, feel free to message the host before booking.  

* The dock is removed towards the end of September every year. The lake can still be accessed until the end of October, there will just be no dock.
