Relax, unwind and UNPLUG on our ranch in the Glacial Hills of Western Minnesota. The 5 bedroom, 4 bath home sleeps up to 23 people and is on a working ranch with many nearby activities to keep you as busy or as relaxed as you choose. The Glacial Lakes State Park borders the property with a quiet lake and canoes, paddle boats and kayaks for rent. The park also allows horseback riding and there's a horse barn at the property with stalls for 3 horses if you want to bring your own(with an extra boarding charge). A bike path runs from the park to Starbuck MN and Lake Minnewaska. The home is 5 miles from Lake Minnewaska, with a beach for swimming, all types of water activities in summer and ice fishing in the winter. Bring snowmobiles, 4 wheelers or cross country skis or snowshoes to explore the trails in the area or go hiking in the park or on our ranch. Hunting for deer, pheasants, ducks, and coyote is abundant in the area too. Winter time fun includes sledding in our hills! Lake Emily can be seen from the pastures and the sunsets are beautiful from the deck. We will give you ranch tours for an added fee (except on Sunday) and there is Ranch raised Beef available by contacting us, all priced and ready for the grill!
The home has an open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living room and large windows to enjoy the view. A gas fireplace is located between the dining area and the living room.
