Homesteaded more than 100 years ago this farm is somewhat stuck in time. Once this was a prosperous dairy operation. Location location location, this place is my slice of heaven on earth. Located in the corner of 4 townships on an extremely quiet road. Our farm now raises grass fed beef and wooly pigs pastured along driveway along with the usual cast of a farm, dogs, cats, chickens, guineas and goats

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, chickens, and various other animals over the years. We also breed Bernese Mountain Dogs, so you'll see some of our pack wandering the property. 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 55 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 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 (very comfortable!) on the main level . A wood burning stove keeps the cottage cozy in cooler weather. There is a bathroom with flushing toilet and shower. Electricity keeps the cottage aglow and runs a refrigerator, microwave, sound system and fans. Also available for your convenience, an apartment size range and kitchen sink.
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!
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 we understand that some people just want to be left to enjoy a quiet weekend while others love to engage and develop a connection. We enjoy engaging in conversation and developing connections and yet completely respect the desire for others privacy to the utmost degree. We 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 you are interested in learning more about regenerative farming, we are happy to chat! Our hope is to bring people back to the land in a holistic, spiritual, and conscientious manner.

From the warm and inviting greeting to directing us to where to camp and introducing us to the goats and donkey, this is an incredible experience all around. We had a great fire and stars were amazing only to fall asleep beneath lightning bugs glowing in the trees above us. Magical environmental atmosphere with great energy and vibe. Highly recommend.

We had the BEST experience!
We had a lovely spot in a wooded area, with dappled shade- which made our heat-wave camping weekend so much more comfortable! We were near a big communal fire pit area which was great for some easy pie iron dinners! Amazing friendly hosts, and GOATS! Where could you go wrong? Also chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats... probably other critters I'm forgetting! We are absolutely in love with Sugar & can't wait to come visit again!
Our time at the Sanctuary was so incredibly peaceful (as long as you find farm animal sounds peaceful). I loved drinking my morning espresso and listening to the rooster crow away! We are already planning our next visit because this one was so relaxing & perfectly filled our need for a mini getaway.
