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. ## Highlights - **Creature comforts:** Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen. - **All to yourself:** 97% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private. ## Amenities - **Amenities:** Potable water, Toilets, Campfires, Showers, Trash, Cooking equipment, Picnic table, Wifi - **Activities:** Hiking, Wildlife watching - **Terrain:** Forest, River, stream, or creek, Field, Wetlands, Farm ## Sites - **Creekwood Cottage** (cabin, up to 6 guests, $155.00/night) ## Policies - **Check-in:** 16:00 - **Check-out:** 11:00 - **Minimum nights:** 1 - **Cancellation:** Moderate (Full refund 3 days before check in time starts) - **Pets:** not allowed - **Children:** allowed **House rules:** - Walking paths on property are somewhat rustic and can be uneven.

So relaxing and peaceful. The cabin is lovely, the setting beautiful and the sauna is perfect. Todd and Sarah are excellent hosts. Can't wait to come back again! > > - Corin R., March 3, 2023 > Perfect cabin for our little girls winter get away. The wood stove kept us nice and toasty, despite the bellow 0 weather. hosts were very accommodating. Nice and private. Beautiful spot and loved watching the dogs and cows frolic around. Kitchen had everything we needed even a toaster & microwave. This space was plenty of room for the 3 of us. I would definitely stay here again! Although getting up into the loft was okay for us, if you don’t do well with patters this could be tricky for the 2 beds in the loft the the sofa pulled out into a nice bed on main level. That said the latter going up… > > - Tasha E., February 4, 2023 > We had a wonderful weekend at Todd and Sarah's cabin who were ever so kind and helpful. They were always quick to reply and would give us a heads up before they left the property to make sure we had all we needed. We unintentionally picked one of the colder weekends for our adventure but the wood stove kept us nice and toasty, especially while sleeping in the loft. The loft had a beautiful view of the farm, and a telescope to gaze at the stars at night. We regrettably did not take advantage of the camp fire or sauna due to the brutally cold weather, but it gives us something to look forward to… > > - Corisa M., January 29, 2023 > This was our second time here, and definitely won't be the last! Incredibly cozy winter retreat. And the sauna is *definitely* worth it. > > - Timothy L., January 22, 2023 > We came back for our second stay and brought the kids (12 and 14) this time. They loved soaking in the calm, natural "vibe" as they would say. 24 hrs felt like much longer as we're leaving feeling relaxed and full of memories of board games, sauna, reading, and hiking around in the snow. Thank you Sarah & Todd > > - Emily H., December 31, 2022
