Welcome to Whippletree! This is our sixth-generation family farm, and while it's more of a hobby farm now, it has been in continuous agricultural production since 1869!
Besides tillable farm land, we are stewards of native prairie, small wooded areas, a remnant of an oak savanna and wetlands, with trails throughout. We consider this our sanctuary and enjoying sharing it with others looking for a place of retreat to connect with the natural world.

We enjoyed a great "quick getaway" (from Minneapolis) at this sweet property. Tucked in the woods, a 3 minute walk to the river, this was super relaxing. Hiking at St Croix State Park, s'mores, reading & games... Couldn't ask for a better mini-break. Thanks for the hospitality!

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa
We wanted to get out but could not find camping with our trailer so my husband and I stayed in the Little Wooded Cottage. It was lovely. The cabin is super small but really cozy. I loved the mattress! It was incredibly comfortable. The cabin inside had a small chair, a nightstand, filled water jug and a few other small amenities. Outdoors came with a picnic table, fire pit, outdoor lighting and private outhouse ( which we appreciated) This cabin is not tucked away like the other cabins, you are close to the hosts home, but we had full privacy from the hosts and other campers. The cabin is shaded under pine trees and some maples and it was very quiet and serene. You are also within a 20 minute drive to Banning SP or St.Croix SP. I would book again for sure.

Huge fan of this property. From the host to the outdoor kitchen, it was a perfect stay. Im such a fan that I knew I needed to extend my reservation for another night within 5 minutes of stepping foot inside. Would’ve booked the whole week if it was possible! They packed a ton of character of into this little cabin, but somehow avoided making it tacky. It’s small, but it never once felt crammed or cluttered. I’ll absolutely be back soon. so happy it’s only about an hour from my home! Thanks for having us. Appreciate you!

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa
Gorgeous setting. Quaint secluded cabins for a nice getaway retreat. Stayed there over the weekend and took day trips up to duluth, two harbors, and gooseberry falls.
It was perfect for me and my girlfriend as we wanted a break from the hustle in a quiet setting.

We had a wonderful weekend in our cabin. The cabin was very clean upon arrival, well stocked on toilet paper, paper towels, linens, plenty of cooking utensils, pans. We arrived with groceries but forgot ketchup and mayo, to our surprise there was some in the fridge already (thank you).
The fishing right outside the cabin is great. Just walk to the shore, throw a crawler on a split spot rig and cast right into the main flow line of the river. We caught dozens of bass, sheep head, some 5-10lb catfish, a suckered.
The kayaks were all set on a stand upon arrival along with a SUP. The river itself was a gorgeous site. Very easy to kayak both ways. Please bring some water shoes or Crocs if you intend on walking in the water or swimming. Our oldest caught a treble hook left by someone to the bottom of his croc. Also pulled in some other tackle on the bottom of the river from people who got snagged. Just use caution.
We dined at A&W and Pizza Pub for their Friday pizza buffet. The Art Festival in town on Saturday was pretty cool. Prolly over 50 different vendors there selling different things.
The owners and everyone else we met in Pine City were all very friendly. It's such a wonderful town. We planned on exploring the area more originally, but some time at this cabin was all we needed.
If it wasn't 7 hours away I'd already be booking another trip back !!!! Thank you to the owners for doing a great job !!!

We loved our time at the farm. It was secluded, quiet, and beautiful, the cabin was just what we needed as a home base for the week, and the hanging swings were a fun touch. Electric fans helped with summer temps and it was nice to have fresh linens rather than have to pack them
Bring your big repellent for ticks as you would with other natural areas. The goats and chickens were a delight. Thanks to Peter and family for hosting.

We had a wonderful time on the farm! The cabin was perfect for what we needed. Fans helped to circulate air in summer weather, the beds were comfortable with clean sheets, and the little prep surface and mini fridge made things easy. Very family friendly. We'd recommend repellent and keeping an eye out for ticks as you would in other natural areas. The goats and chickens were a delight for kids and the composting toilet set-up worked well. Thanks to Peter and the family for welcoming us!
