Great location for fishermen and bike riders. So many bike trails with great views and such great flylfishing. Such a pretty town and other cute towns nearby. Beds were very comfortable and I have a bad back. You may even get to see eagles. On our float trips we saw three eagles nests and several eagles.

Charming and centrally located

We enjoyed our holiday weekend stay in this comfortable, charming home that is centrally located to Lanesboro area activities. Exceptionally clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a long stay. Activities we especially enjoyed were Mystery Cave State Park and Estelle’s Eatery in Harmony. Highly recommend to those visiting the area.

Great location for anyone who likes to bike or fish. A very quaint town with a great deli!! We were fisherman and had three great days of fishing local waters. Nearby restaurants--favorite was in Harmony--a cute town 10 miles away--Estelle's. This small home fit our needs very well. Planning on returning.

We had a fantastic stay, really appreciated the proximity to all sorts of fun family activities - we did the Mystery Cave Scenic Tour, our own Amish country driving tour (courtesy of the host supplied map), biked a ton, went to the community pool, did a few of the "nine hole" fishing spots in Preston (stop by Curt's and/or Driftless Flying Fishing for tips), and went for a tube float down the Root River with Root River Outfitters. House was clean, well supplied and in a great location. Host was very responsive and helpful. Excellent family getaway!

We were looking for a place at the last minute to spend a weekend in the Lanesboro area for some quality fall gravel bike rides. This little house in Preston was perfect for us. Very comfortable and an easy (and scenic) drive to Lanesboro for biking and access to the great restaurants there.
