About this property

Heritage hideaway-Secluded Log Cabin

Heritage Hideaway is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with loved ones. A peaceful and scenic setting to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, or just escape the daily grind. Located on 25 acres of steep bluffs and mature hardwood forest, our main cabin is a fully furnished and modern Amish built log cabin.

A true hideaway, the cabin is tucked back off the main road, yet close to many recreational opportunities. Relax around a campfire or listen to the sounds of nature. Take in the scenic views and gather with family where distractions disappear.

Base rates are based on two person occupancy, additional guest fees apply. For groups larger than six, see our separate listing for our Tiny House located on the opposite side of the property: VRBO#873511. Note there is a discount for weekly stays (7 night minimum).

Awesome cabin away from it all

This was my 2nd time here with my cousin. We love this cabin so much. It’s far enough away from people and town but not too far that we couldn’t go do things. The area is so beautiful with all of its hills and farms. We went to 4 state parks in 4 days and did a lot of hiking and exploring. We will definitely be back.

Cozy and secluded, wonderful place!

In the below zero weather, we were greeted with a fire roaring in the wood burning fireplace and an immaculate and inviting log cabin well equipped for our 4-day stay. Troy checked in with us on our first afternoon to make sure all was good. It was! We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy feel of the cabin and the giant supply of wood to keep the fire burning. There was also a heater that would back up the warmth if the fire burned low overnight. We can’t wait to come again in every season!

Quiet Get-away

We stayed here while in town to hike Whitewater Park. We loved how peaceful and quiet the property was during the day. In the evening as we enjoyed the fire we could here the animals (farm and wild). The view off the edge of the property over the valley was incredible.

About the host

Hosted by Troy & Laurie Danielson

Host profile image
Troy was born and raised in the Lanesboro area. He works as an Engineer for Minnesota Department of Transportation in Rochester. In his free time he enjoys hunting, fishing and just generally being outdoors. The Danielson family continues to maintain the original family farm nearby. Laurie grew up in west central Wisconsin on a small hobby farm. She works as a pharmacist for Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She loves living on the Root River and enjoys gardening, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and biking the Root River Bike trail. We feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place and enjoy meeting our guests. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Lanesboro area.

Why they chose this property

The cabin site was once a heavily wooded pasture to a neighboring farm. The main cabin was built off site by local Amish and moved into place in 2001. The original log structure had seasonal indoor plumbing and an outhouse nearby. We purchased the property in 2011 and started work on the bathroom & laundry addition January 1, 2012. In keeping with the "rustic" feel of the cabin, finish work utilized recycled barn boards from Laurie's childhood farm.

What makes this property unique

The pictures and many items in the cabin reflect our personal heritage. From the handmade quilt from Grandma Christine to the barn pulleys from the original Danielson family farm, all are reflecting the value of hard work and thriftiness instilled in us from our ancestors. We hope you enjoy the peace and beauty of Heritage Hideaway and are inspired to reflect on your own personal heritage.
