Attached apartment offers a private drive, spacious parking/unloading, a secondary entrance shared only with the studio (under construction), a full kitchen, and 2nd floor balcony overlooking the courtyard and back acreage. Connected directly to the Round River Drive ATV trail, and only a short drive to the Nevis Wilder snow mobile trail, public Eleventh Crow Wing lake/fishing pier, and Heartland State Trail. The space: Welcome to our secluded castle tower! Tucked among the Red Pines, Northern White Cedars, mature Oaks, and Norway Spruce, our home invites all types of wildlife to its door. We see deer, turkeys, eagles, ducks, geese, and many types of butterflies/bees/lightning bugs/insect friends daily. We also hear Loons, owls, and often coyote from the woods. Our home: While not a true castle, the creators of this unique home were very skilled artists who modeled the home after the renaissance era. They included a stone exterior, weathervanes, fleur de lis' throughout, and an English garden in front. We occupy the main house year-round along with our furry companions, but give our guests complete privacy throughout their stay. This is achieved with a private drive and a separate entrance into the studio and apartment that is separate from the house. Your apartment: A much more modern addition, the second and third floor apartment located to the northeast of the home, has hand painted countertops displaying a birch forest transitioning through the seasons and a beautiful vintage window overlooking forest and prairie, with gorgeous views of the sunrise and stars. There is also an east-facing balcony located off the common area with seating for two. Guest access: We are excited that we can currently provide flexible check-in and check-out times; we just ask that guests don't check in prior to 8 am or check out after 8 pm. We hope this will allow you to make the most of all your days with us and ensure your trip is as relaxing as possible! During your stay, you will have access to the private drive and the apartment. We also have a play area, a firepit, and a courtyard equipped with seating and a grill that are shared use between the main house and the apartment. We are also located on 20 acres with forest to explore, and green space on all sides for a lawn game, stroll, or picnic. Other things to note: We may be secluded but we are not lacking in nearby ammenities! We are in the heart of resort territory; 10 minutes to Nevis, 15 minutes to Walker, and 20 minutes to Park Rapids. You'll have quick access to gas stations/convenience stores, grocery stores (including plenty of organic/gluten-free/vegetarian/vegan options and specialty stores), shopping (boutiques, antiques, thrift, artisan malls, and more), and restaurants (American, Chinese, Mexican, Thai, etc.). You can also find live music nightly during the summer and events happening in all directions! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Music library - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93200000/93199100/93199080/235a5b04.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin Getaway w/ Private Dock, Walk to Trail!

They are in the process of some renovations, but that did not affect our stay. Was well stocked with condiments, toiletries and kids toys. The kids especially liked the craft supplies. Perfect location for ATV riders and the private, partially secluded driveway felt safe for the ATVs even when unattended. Would definitely recommend. ##### Sandra D.

The property owner was very quick to respond to any questions asked. She provided us with several ATV website links to gain an understanding of the trails in advance of our stay. The owner went out of her way to provide little conveniences to make the stay smooth and enjoyable, including a paper ATV map, access to the firepit in their backyard along with some firewood (we enjoyed a nice fire our second night), products for use in the shower and bathroom, and even some fresh eggs from their chickens. The bed was comfortable and although the bathroom and entry-way are works in progress, it didn't impact our ability to fully utilize the space. We also enjoyed sitting on the small deck, equipped with two chairs, on our first evening. Overall a nice experience. ##### Sharon T. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey J. 29 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Charming Retreat! In a world where some vacation rentals can feel impersonal and uninspiring, this hidden gem stood out as a true home away from home. Unlike those sterile and bland accommodations, this was cozy and welcoming. It felt like stepping into the home of a dear friend, where every corner had a story to tell. The thoughtful touches throughout the space added an extra layer of comfort and joy. Stacks of books provided endless literary adventures, and the kid's corner was a haven for young ones seeking entertainment. It was heartwarming to see how much effort had been put into making guests of all ages feel at home. Between homemade soaps and farm-fresh eggs, there were so many little things that went above and beyond. It's those little gestures that make a significant difference, and I truly appreciated the care that went into every aspect of my experience. Holly's book of guidance and recommendations kept us busy the entire time we were there! We would certainly recommend staying here. From the charming and personalized touches to Holly's exceptional hospitality, every aspect surpassed my expectations. If you're seeking a place that feels like a home away from home, this is an absolute must-visit. ##### Kelsey J. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ---
