About this property

Charming 2-bdrm cabin in quaint Afton area with seasonal views of river!

Originally built in the 1920s - lots of history and clean updates. Perfect for hikers, explorers, creatives, romantics. King and queen beds, guests very homey and cozy wooded lot past farms, down a long gravel drive. Fall in love with the St Croix River area and enjoy the magic it has to offer.

30 minutes from shopping, but you will feel like you are miles and mile away from it all - no need for 2-4 hour drives "up north". You’re just minutes from Afton State Park and all it offers!

Year round: Many quaint river towns to explore such as Ice cream in Afton, Restaurants in Hudson wonderful pennisula , Antiques in Stillwater and Osceola. Prescott for beaches and scenic drives in Wisconsin, The possibilities are endless.

Afton State Park is 5 minutes away or immediately hiking for the fit with its miles of trails and a few public beaches close by.

See the moon rise in Hudson, it is amazing! Do this after a night out to dinner at San Pedro’s restaurant…. If antiques and boutiques are your thing hop over to Stillwater. Grab a picnic at the COOP and eat by the riverfront. Up for even more adventure rent an electric bike there and cross over the new pedestrian bridge that leads to Osceola….

Take a scenic trip up to Marine on The St Croix and visit the old General Store there after hiking in William O’Brien State Park. After one of these come back to a quaint cottage built in the 1920’s and listen to the sounds of nature.

In winter snowshoeing, downhill skiing, cross country skiing. In autumn: berry picking, orchard, pumpkins, leaves.

Amazing Location to Get Away From It All

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this charming cabin. Just 40 minutes from St. Paul and surrounded by nature. We enjoyed exploring Hastings and Afton and hiking in Afton State Park. The perfect get-away close to home.The cabin is just as shown in the photos, the check in process a breeze, and the hosts very friendly. We made a simple dinner one night and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The living room was especially cozy.

Perfect getaway! Cozy, charming, one of a kind!

We had a wonderful, calm and relaxing stay in the woods overlooking the serene St. Croix river. Kathryn was a fantastic host and the cabin was immaculate and inviting. So much attention to detail. Photos highlighted the history of the property and the natural surroundings. Right next to Afton state park and Afton Alps. Close to Hudson as well. Exceptional!
