About the host
Hosted by susan semlak
Hi, my name is Susan. I was born and raised here in MN, from a family of 9. In 1992, I moved out west for work but visited MN often as possible given that 100% of my family resides here. My son, now 34, moved back here about 10 years ago to raise his family. Coincidentally, right before the pandemic hit, I decided to buy The Rum River Retreat here in MN to live out my retirement dreams and enjoy the summer and fall months with my two grandsons.
Why they chose this property
As a true animal lover....My childhood dream was to earn enough money one day to purchase a property with acreage that would be large enough to open a dog rescue so that I could open a dog rescue. So, when I happened upon this property, I was amazed that that it was everything I hoped for. My goal as it relates to my vacation rental is to raise the money I will need to make it a spectacular playground for dogs. I intend to build fencing, a heated and cooled kennel building, turn my pole barn into a training facility and then my land into a large park setting for my dog guests to run and play until a suitable forever home can be determined for them. I retire in 5 years so I have a lot of hosting to do until then!
What makes this property unique
My guests to date have commented how peaceful and relaxed they felt during their stay here, so much so that many are planning future visits back here. Others have asked if I would rent out the property for them to have events such as weddings and family reunions. I feel so blessed to have found this place and the opportunity to use it to help me fulfill my future dream to open Shaggy Acres Dog Camp. I really hope that you enjoy your time here during your stay in MN.
