- "Lovely inn! Look forward to returning again in the future!" - "The owners are wonderful people, friendly and responsive to questions. Accommodations were nice and close to restaurants and stores. " - "My friends and I rented the Family and Cappuccino Suites, which was perfect. The Cappuccino Suite gave us a full kitchen with a large kitchen table. Plenty of room for eating, talking, and games. Walk out the door to the beautiful flower gardens and more gathering spaces. The new owners have done a wonderful job making this Inn welcoming and beautiful. With ample parking in the back of the Inn for our cars and bikes, it was a great launching spot for an afternoon of biking on the excellent bike trail down the street from the Inn. Although I do not frequent this area often, I think another visit to Lanesboro and the Coffee Inn in the fall is in the future. Thank you, Carrie and Rich, for your gracious hospitality. "

Many outside seating areas on front porch of main house. Access to main house sitting areas and dining room. We were pretty much left to ourselves. " - "Hosts were very friendly. The Inn and the room that we stayed in were very clean. The furnishings and decor very interesting." - "Beds were super comfortable & everything was very clean. Saw a couple reviews about a lackluster continental breakfast, but I thought it was great. Bagels (and toaster), pastries, hard-boiled eggs, juice, milk, coffee, yogurt, homemade jam, fresh fruit and berries, choice of cereals.

Heritage Hideaway is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with loved ones. A peaceful and scenic setting to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, or just escape the daily grind. Located on 25 acres of steep bluffs and mature hardwood forest, our main cabin is a fully furnished and modern Amish built log cabin.
A true hideaway, the cabin is tucked back off the main road, yet close to many recreational opportunities. Relax around a campfire or listen to the sounds of nature. Take in the scenic views and gather with family where distractions disappear.
Base rates are based on two person occupancy, additional guest fees apply. For groups larger than six, see our separate listing for our Tiny House located on the opposite side of the property: VRBO#873511. Note there is a discount for weekly stays (7 night minimum).
- "Comfortable cabin with nice amenities. Very peaceful place. Definitely a hideaway (a little hard to find) but worth it." - "It was better than the pictures! Loved the solitude, the cabin was well equipped and very comfortable. We were in Lanesboro this morning and the owner knows Troy, our host." - "I took my dad and my kids to this cabin for a quick weekend of stargazing, as my dad has a portable observatory good for taking pictures of galaxies, globular clusters, etc. The cabin itself was wonderful, with everything we needed, and it was very clean. The surrounding property was exactly what we needed, with clear views of the night sky, just as the pictures promised. The kids loved exploring the area, and we even made a trip into Lanesboro for lunch and ice cream. A good, quiet weekend. Thanks!"

It’s private and peaceful while The house is warm and comfortable and just terrific. We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO properties, and this one is the best of the bunch. We’ll be back." - "All of the other reviews are dead on - fabulous place to stay! One thing to know is that there is a sand mining operation on the river right below the house. So there is constant noise during the day. I was able to think of it as white noise but it was hard for the rest of the family to enjoy the back deck because of it Definitely loved the house and location outside of that issue"

Last week the Owls were calling just after dark, and the Coyote's started singing around midnight.
- "If you are looking for a scenic, no frills, simple lodging this is a great choice. Little to no cell phone connection. No TV and other outside world interruptions. Just the scenic beauty, a local heard of cattle grazing, fly fisherman testing their skills against the trout and a camp fire to relax with." - "Great place to unwind. Great scenery." - "We had the most peaceful week at your beautiful cabin! Only one thing I am so upset about, is that we inadvertently left my wooden cane behind. My husband had this cane made just for me. I am so, so sad about this and am wondering how could I get this shipped back to me, on our dime? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am handicapped and so sad about this. It was accidentally left behind the door."

The house sleeps 8 in 3 queen sized beds and one full size futon. It has 2 bathrooms and an awesome view. In the front yard there is a softball park, complete with teeter-totters, slide, swings and fire pit. The house has hardwood floors and is pet friendly. The small town of Whalan is located just 4 miles east of Lanesboro. You can walk, drive, swim, kayak, bike, or canoe between the two towns. The property is located just one block off the Root River State Bicycle Trail and about 3 blocks from the World Famous Pie Shop.
This 100+ year old house has been moved, from its original location across from the pie shop, and is now overlooking Gator Greens Mini Golf. The house has been gutted to the studs and totally redone. Great location for the cycling enthusiasts of all ages. Whalan is located just 4 miles from Lanesboro, and 8 miles from Peterson. It is some of the flattest parts of the trail, offering great views of the bluffs as well as the river.
Absolutely no ATVs on property. Dogs are allowed, however we do ask that you clip your pets nails as the hardwood floors have been resurfaced in March 2022. Dogs are an additional cost per night ask for details.
- "Great location! This place was a great place to reconnect with family. Clean and comfortable. Grilled out and enjoyed dinner on the deck after a day of biking the nearby trails." - "The property is located in a park in Whalan. Very quiet neighborhood. Close to bike trail. Loved the little Aroma Pie Shoppe which is in walking/biking distance from the property. House was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. Would definitely stay there again."

Deep in the Wiscoy valley you'll enjoy peace and quiet in nature. Even escape your cell phone as it won’t ring here. Wi-Fi is available at the lodge, but otherwise your out of service unless you take the trail to the top. Down here you’ll truly escape the pressures of mainstream life - off the grid!
The lodge is well furnished with comfy beds, large couches and a fully equipped kitchen. The patio features both a Weber Charcoal and Gas Grill ready for your BBQ expertise. A fantastic outdoor fire pit and supplied wood is just the start for an evening of s’mores and stories. The lodge is full of games and activities for a rainy day too, including a full size pool table.
You will have access to 1500 acres ( yes 1500!!!) for hiking, fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, nature, peace & quiet. Stroll along the winding creek or climb the ridge road to the lookout. The trails are well maintained, mowed and clearly marked. The variety allows for easy walks to excursions with significant elevation changes. Take a 1, 3, 5, 10 or even a 20 mile trip.
This is truly a very unique place and will give you lasting memories. If you hit the season right, you will see the most spectacular firefly display, blue birds by the 1000's or an abundance of other wildlife as they migrate through. The owner holds this beautiful place as a hunting lodge and you'll see more wild deer than you've ever seen anywhere. While he wants to share this getaway... he wants that Big Buck for himself. Strictly no deer or any hunting allowed. If you get a chance to see a big one – let us know and please send pictures!
I'm sure you will have a great time!
- "Fantastic place to get away with a large group. Plenty of space in and outside. Many amenities provided" - "The pictures don't do this place justice, it is a huge space and in immaculate condition. Amy, the host, left us everything we could ever need as far as kitchen, toiletries, etc. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces couldn't have been better. The urinal was a great touch! :)" - "Came for a weekend away with family and this place was perfect, everyone absolutely loved it! Great indoor space for groups to actually be together to cook, eat and hang out. Great outdoor space as well. Any was very responsive before, during and after our stay."

Easily accommodated 5 teens and 8 adults. 5 minutes to Lonsdale, and a short drive to Preston, Harmony, and fountain. Everyone enjoyed it." - "We had a group of 4 couples in town for biking. This house was perfect. There was plenty of space and we could have definitely added a 5th couple comfortably. The owners thought of everything and the house was well stocked with basics. There's even a huge water heater to ensure everyone has a hot shower! Communication was easy and we had no issues. We are already talking about returning next year. The house is about a mile outside of town on the highway so riding bikes to town is not realistic but the trailhead with tons of parking is very close."

Get away from it all in bluff country! 4 BR farmhouse, remodeled kitchen and bathroom, a huge yard with a fire pit, swingset, and amazing views. We're close to Whalan, Lanesboro, the Root River, Rushford, Peterson, Diamond Creek, fly-fishing, and the Root River bike trails. Take a short road trip to Houston Nature Center, Whitewater, Forestville or Beaver Valley Creek State Parks. This is such a beautiful area of the state- so unique and full of friendly people. Our farmhouse is great for families, reunions, girls getaways, couples, or solo travelers who want to unplug for a few days. No hunting groups please.
We follow an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance. Here are a few highlights:
I sanitize high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknob
I use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies, and I wear protective gear to help prevent cross-contamination
I clean each room using extensive cleaning checklists
I provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay
I comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines

*NEW Set on 200 acres of hiking trails and surrounded by a trout stream, this 6,000 square foot house built in 2001 by the Amish in traditional barn-raising style is astonishing. A family- owned property since the 1890s, all of the wood for the house is from the property. This breathtaking home has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a bar, a pool table and all of the space a family needs. Open ceilings and breathtaking views make for a wonderful time. Near Root River Biking Trail.
- "The house was beautiful and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets available. We loved the large, well provisioned kitchen and the two refrigerators. Lots of dishes, glasses of all kinds, and more pots and pans and baking pans than I've ever seen in a rental! The hosts have thoughtfully provided little bins of those things that are often forgotten (toothbrush, comb, etc.) as well as tea, creamers, sugar and sweetners. A bin of left behind bug spray was nice, although we really did not encounter many mosquitos the week we were there (so dry). The freezer in the garage had extra bags of ice which was great because it is a long drive to the nearest store and the ice maker was not keeping up with our group of 8. Jessica (the host) was very responsive to our queries. We loved the large selection of games and puzzles. We also loved the beautiful pool table and the foosball table. We made good use of all of them. We used the gas grill many nights, ran out of propane, contacted Jessica who quickly replied and said if we would go ahead and refill both tanks, she would reimburse us. We left behind some information on the local towns and activities. We went mini-golfing, bowling, out for ice cream, biking and hiking. Tried fishing in the trout stream, too. Fabulous family vacation in a quiet rural location."
