Fly Fishing

Our group of three long time friends that like to fish together found this Tree House Cabin close to the Whitewater River near Elba, MN. It looked similar to places we've stayed to ice fish with bunk beds, no indoor plumbing and a little table to play games. We were pleasantly surprised to see how much better this was. It was very clean, nicely decorated and more spacious then we expected. It's nestled in the beautiful woods on Whiskey Hill and we wished we had more then one night to stay. I highly recommend this cabin and the owner always responded immediately to my questions.

What a great setup! The property features a cabin and separate bath house below, and several outdoor camping areas up the bluff. Just a little more clarification on which amenities are in which area, but otherwise just fine. Lots of extra touches and small details were appreciated. I am hoping to make staying here a yearly thing.

Fun Girls Weekend!

Stayed here with some girlfriends for a few days while camping. We loved the little cabin and hammock area. Do be aware it is right next to a highway, so it was loud. Chelsi does a great job making sure your stay is good!

About the host

Hosted by Chelsi Low

After years of experiencing the benefits and joys of spending time in nature, I was inspired to find a way to share this with others. I enjoy helping people relax, and hosting at Aefinytr campground has allowed me to combine my love of the outdoors with my passion for hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Whitewater River Valley is located in Driftless Region of southeastern Minnesota and is known for its rugged hiking trails, scenic bluffland, and excellent trout fishing in the spring-fed Whitewater River and Trout Run Creek. I love the beauty of the wooded hills of the valley, observing all the flora and fauna of the hardwood forest, kayaking, tubing and fishing on the river and the noticeable lack of mosquitos! This is a place I go to rest and revitalize my soul.

What makes this property unique

Aefintyr Campground was inspired by a love of wilderness adventures, nature and hospitality. The small campground is nestled into the hillside of the valley and offers an atmosphere that is rugged and adventurous, yet at the same time quiet and revitalizing. It is a place where nature is celebrated as the best amenity! Although our campground is very modern, you will not find pavement, packed in rows of RVs, manicured lawns or crowds here : ) We have a beautiful 14 acres of woods and lots of wildlife and space to unplug and slow down.
