If you’re looking for a change of scenery, and a place to get away, Minnesota’s rural lodging will definitely make you jump for joy. There’s nothing better than spending a few days, or even weeks, away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. From farms to North Shore hideouts there are plenty of rural areas in MN that offer secluded places to relax. Here are some of our favorites:
Nestled between Nisswa and Pequot Lakes, The Oliver Acreage is 88 sprawling acres of stunning farmland. You can stay in one of the 3 beautiful bedrooms in their farmhouse B&B, or the massive Barn Lodge which sleeps 10 and has an event space. Rooms start at just $129, and you'll always be entertained between the outdoor recreation opportunities and the fun board and lawn games!
On Lake Superior, this is the best place to unplug at an affordable price. Take a weekend off and enjoy the beauty of the North Shore as it's meant to be seen.
In Howard Lake, you can find this contemporary guest house surrounded by stunning prairie views and scenic Dutch Lake. You can canoe, hike, ski, and snowshoe your way through their 80 private acres. You'll enjoy an amazing complementary breakfast when you stay here, and the entire private guest house will be your sanctuary all for the low cost of $150-$185 per night!
This charming brick farmhouse with a touch of elegance is the perfect place to stay for a weekend near the beautiful Mississippi River. You can also rent out the entire house for a great group gathering.
Near Winona, this amazing farm not only offers epic outdoor adventures like wood-fired cooking, guided deer hunting, bonfires, hayrides, birding, wild-weaving, wilderness survival, animal tracking, meditation, berry-picking, and stargazing, but they have a beautiful 3-bedroom farmhouse that can sleep 10 guests. It's also the perfect place for events and gatherings, which can include their scrumptious wood-fired pizzas, hayrides, or local catering. The views of the bluffs are unbeatable, and your stay or outdoor adventure will always be magical.
This peaceful B&B on Lake Superior's North Shore is the quintessential Minnesota lodging experience and a great starting point for any adventure up North.
This beautiful B&B was once owned by John Hutchinson, Jr., a Civil War veteran and partner in both the Faribault Furniture Company and the Faribault Roller Mills. The magnificent Queen Anne Victorian home is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet weekend.
