MN trip

Great time despite sketchy, rainy weather in December. Loved taking hikes around farm with our dogs, playing cards and games around wood stove. Had other family visit and all loved it. Some did nearby skiing despite weather. About 30 min to airport too which was nice. Great location.

Picturesque Property

We absolutely loved our stay at Windhill Farm. The animals were such a fun addition to sitting and enjoying coffee on the back patio. The amenities were exactly as described. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. Beautiful property to take a morning walk and enjoy unique historic features. Close to the historic Afton community shops. I recommend this rental and would stay again.

Beautiful property and location

Beautiful, quaint farmhouse on a pristine property. Everything was clean and a had a lot of amenities. We especially enjoyed the wood fires in the stove which made for a cozy stay. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend! Would love to explore the property more in the summer if we return then...

Windy Hill Farm, Afton MN

A favorite VRBO rental! The farm and surroundings are beautiful with walking trails that connect to Afton State Park. The bedrooms are upstairs and laundry downstairs in the basement. Both sets of stairs are a bit narrow we found. The house is comfy, clean, and well stocked. The backyard is fenced and has a great patio, with a gas grill, table and chairs to relax while looking out over the pastures. Quiet, except for some motorcycle noise over Memorial day weekend. It was a pleasure to meet Lucy the property owner and her horses and chickens.

About the host

Hosted by Lucy Rogers

We live in the St. Croix River Valley and enjoy its hilly beauty, its restored prairies, its charming towns, and the gorgeous St. Croix River. We love animals and keep horses and chickens at the farm.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property to house our horses. We were attracted to its unique charm, its beautiful red barn and the beautiful views all times of the year.

We still keep two horses at the farm 6 months a year and a flock of chickens that we care for daily.
