Quaint seclusion, steps from the backwaters of the Mississippi.
This quaint cabin rests on the backwaters of the Mississippi, minutes from beautiful downtown Red Wing, Mn and 45 min from the Twin Cities.
Enjoy the serenity of an early morning sunrise on the deck, walk along the water or a nighttime bonfire. This place is a perfect get away for folks who love the outdoors or that just need a beautiful destination to relax.
This cabin features a queen bed and a futon in the living room that folds into a double bed. You can enjoy steaks on the grill or have the convenience of pizza delivery. Walk down to the riverside fire pit and enjoy s'mores around the fire.
Fishing enthusiasts, bring a pole or even land your boat on the beach. The back channel boat landing is mere 2 miles away. Splash the boat and pull right up to shore. The backwaters are also a great place to paddle kayaks or a canoe.
Note: Our cabin is located on Mississippi River floodplain. If you are booking April/May or Oct/Nov there is a small chance that your stay may be affected by river level. We monitor river levels and will provide you with that information ASAP. The cabin is not affected by flash floods, only by slow rising of the Mississippi River.

Cabin small, but mighty! Nicely appointed. Perfect for a couple. Deck chairs and grill for our Big Dawg brats, were a bonus! Tree swings by water were perfect for morning coffee. Birds, boats, turtles, deer, bunnies, hummingbirds....Oh My!Property well kept. We enjoyed our time and the close proximy to biking trails, restaurants, museums and pottery shop. Annie was very responsive to all our inquiries. Would stay again if in the area! C&A
We love staying at the Backyard Bungalow. So cozy and a perfect way to ring in the new year. My wife and I always have the best time. We’ll definitely be returning!
This was our 3rd stay at the bungalow and it won't be our last. It is a perfect little retreat, giving us the privacy we want while still being close enough to Red Wing to enjoy the activities that it offers.
This cabin had everything we were looking for in a getaway, great view, spotless well stocked place, quiet and off by itself, a wonderful fire pit a very responsive host and a comfortable bed. We definitely would go back.
My friends and I stayed for a birthday weekend away. The property was so quiet and had several places for us to relax and unwind. I definitely plan on returning.
So peaceful and relaxing. Fishing was good and Anne worked with us when we got flooded out. Thanks for a great time
