Sometimes, it’s nice to get away from home for a night or two. But it can be expensive. Luckily, Minnesota is home to plenty of affordable stays that allow you to get a change of scenery without breaking the bank. Those interested in history – who aren’t afraid of roughing it a little – will enjoy a stay at the secluded cabin we want to introduce today. It’s a cabin that dates back to the Civil War era, and as of September 2021, it’s available to rent for less than $100 a night! If that sounds good to you, read on below to learn about the Maynard Cabin:
