Hidden Springs Hideaway is a little oasis, nestled in the woods. Located in southeastern Minnesota's driftless region, where you are surrounded by rolling green hills, the Zumbro River and limestone bluffs. Only a half-mile to the quaint town of Mantorville (some call it the Stars Hollow of Minnesota) where you'll find a cute coffee shop, antique stores, a breakfast spot in an old school house, a park on the river, a restaurant built in the 1850s and a saloon with drinks and live music. The Hidden Spring Hideaway is an off-grid, sustainable glamping experience set on a 25-acre working homestead just 15 miles west of Rochester, MN. Along with forest views and trails, don’t be surprised if a few friendly chickens wander by to say hello. Enjoy a pot of coffee or a bottle of wine, among the trees. The bell-shaped canvas tent provides private sleeping accommodations for two (a real queen bed, not an air mattress), an outdoor kitchen space and a gravel patio to relax with a campfire. The property offers walking trails throughout the 25-acre woods with mature trees, an array of birds, flowers, a food forest, wildcraft medicinal herbs and the Zumbro River for guest enjoyment. If you would like a tour of the woodland property, one of the site hosts - Steve (a tree expert), would gladly show you around the land. Please send a message and we will arrange this for you. Please note, the Hidden Spring Hideaway has no running water or electricity. Everything is run on solar, rechargeable batteries and propane. There is adequate lighting inside and outside, plus lanterns, flashlights and headlamps for your use. For drinking, cooking and washing, there is a three-gallon cooler full of water for you. You're welcome to bring more of your own water as well or there is a convenience store a half-mile down the road (Casey's). There is a new outhouse on the property that includes a bench seat toilet. There is compostable material provided to sprinkle in after you finish your business. Handwashing supplies are provided. Firewood is available for purchase. $5 a bundle. Please message me at least a day before your stay to reserve and it will be delivered to the site. Add-on a sauna + cold plunge experience for $75.You’ll have the entire glamping site to yourself — including your own private driveway. There are no shared spaces at the site itself, giving you a peaceful and secluded experience. Please note, while the glamping site is entirely private, it is located on a working homestead. Our home is nearby if you need anything during your stay. You may see or hear the occasional chicken or farm activity in the distance. Guests are also welcome to explore the 25-acre woodland property, which includes walking trails, a food forest, native plants and access to the Zumbro River. No RVs, trailers or pitch-your-own-tents allowed. Two vehicle spots are included in the reservation. This is a beautiful piece of land, so please be respectful and responsible.

Our stay was so peaceful! the land was gorgeous with much to explore. The amenities really made this not-so-experienced camper feel right at home! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an escape!

Adorable Glamping Site!

We absolutely loved Glamping! The tent was so cute — the lights were a nice touch and the tent was so welcoming when we walked in. We loved walking the trails and enjoyed cooking over the fire. Thanks for a great stay!

This was a fantastic place to spend two nights! Everything from the tent, the bed, lights, and bathroom were top notch and the hosts literally provide everything else you could need which made things incredibly easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Magical tent

The tent was amazing. Amanda was so thoughtful in setting it up and creating a relaxing, comfortable, environment. Seeing the fireflies come out when down by the river at dusk was a highlight. Marking the trails guests can utilize would be helpful as there are other houses nearby. Especially since I heard some neighbors either hunting or target practicing. I don’t want to accidentally walk onto their property 😳
