Cozy cabin in the woods with air conditioning and heating nestled back in the woods across a pond on 5 acres of country land. Our family home as well as Kings corner (our second location which is an RV across the pond from you) are also spaced out on the property but your cabin has its very own space, parking for any toys you bring and a large private yard in a beautiful wooded area across the pond with a deck, fire table and grill. This cabin is off grid, full solar with a back up generator ( we provide a gas can for you to use, you provide your own gas if you need it) which has not needed to be used yet but is there just in case. Knife lake 1 mile away and Mille Lacs lake 30 minutes both great for fishing.

This was a nice little getaway from the cities and enjoy some nature. The host was more than accommodating, any questions we had he answered. It was pretty private and I had my dogs with me and they loved it and got to roam around the cabin too. I would definitely book again!
This tiny barn cabin was the perfect weekend get away for a girl’s weekend. It’s was a great place to sit back and relax. The cabin was cozy and cutely decorated. We enjoyed meeting the farm animals and swimming in the salt water pool. There’s a great cider house near by that offered a food truck and music. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. Great weekend and we would highly recommended.
An amazing location. The tiny house is very secluded with plenty of privacy. Clean house, styled very well. The owner was great and prompt with communication. When I needed something, the owner was at the house within 10 minutes with what it was I needed.
I will be back again for another awesome getaway. 10/10 recommend
We were looking to experience tiny home living with our kids and found Jesse's barn on VRBO. The location was perfect, not too far from home but far enough away from the city lights. Jesse was the perfect host and even helped us jump start our car due to a bad battery at the end of our stay.
Our favorite part of the stay was swimming in the pool surrounded by chickens and goats. The barn was tiny like we imagined but was still a perfect size for our family of 5 plus our dog.
We will definitely book again. Thank you for a great stay!
I was getting away from the city for some nice solitude. This property is not ‘at’ Knife lake it is on a small swamp/pond. Upon arrival, I was confused to see the small cabin across a long very old dock with no railing (see fine print). The property did not have a lock on the door, which made me feel very unsafe. When I spoke to the owner (as I left immediately) and explained there was no lock I was told the description didn’t say there would be a lock (fine print) My response: doors have locks. He then explained the property was secluded (maybe thinking my request was silly). My response : exactly. I left to go back home. The exchange confirmed my unsafe feeling. Fast forward 2+ hours he had installed a lock. Expected me to head back up or no money back. Needless to say I didn’t go back. Would not recommend.
We had a great time here and enjoyed the experience of a tiny house on a unique property. The manager was really kind and helpful. With state parks close by we had a great fall hike with beauty everywhere
We absolutely loved our stay here!! Communication with the host was excellent and we loved his hospitality. The cabin was decorated so cute, and sitting on the deck at night was our favorite. We will definitely stay again, and we highly recommend it!!
The location was exactly as described. Communication from the host was fantastic. They were very responsive to messages and even schedule a phone call to review several things before check-in. It was a boys trip. The property was great to explore as well as the surrounding areas.
