Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and retreat to this cozy cottage nestled in the heart of the Minnesota River Valley. Whether you're seeking a secluded weekend getaway with your closest girlfriends, a bonding experience with your hunting buddies, or a romantic escape with your partner, it’s the perfect place to disconnect with technology and reconnect with nature. Built in 1872, this

fully renovated cottage blends modern and vintage elements to create an atmosphere to make you feel right at home. It has all the kitchen, bathroom and laundry essentials you need for a comfortable getaway. The living room features a cozy fireplace and comfortable seating, perfect for curling up with a good book or movie. The kitchen is fully equipped, and both upstairs bedrooms have comfortable queen-size beds. The upstairs balcony offers the perfect spot for morning coffee and wildlife views, and you can’t beat the patio and firepit for enjoying a meal or drink outdoors. Located between Sacred Heart and Belview, the cottage is within walking distance from the infamous Grandview Valley Winery/Pizzeria and Rivendell Cocktail Lounge, and is a short drive to the Iverson Tree Farm. No matter the time of year, this is the perfect place to create lasting memories.

Wanted to share some of our guest reviews from last month! 😊 We are blessed to bring in guests from across the country to our tiny township.

While November is pretty much booked, we still have weeknight openings in October and plenty of nights open in December.

We know it’s early to be thinking about the holidays, but if you have family coming into town for Christmas and need some extra space, we encourage you to book early!

Calling all green thumbs! 🌱🌿

Our cottage is in desperate need of some shade-loving perennials... If you have any extra hostas, ferns, or other shade-tolerant beauties you're looking to rehome, we'd love to take them off your hands!

Feel free to share pics of what you have available and we’ll message you.

Thank you in advance!

Meet the faces behind the work being done to Swedes Forest Cottage 👋 Name: Morgan (Milbradt) Tufto Role: Full-Time Visionary, Part-Time Renovation Assistant, Shopaholic and (Soon-to-Be) Booking Agent. Strengths: Interior design and finding/bargaining deals! Weaknesses: Making a decision on the stairwell wallpaper. 🤪 Well, just decision-making in general Noah might say. Favorite part of Renovations: Spending quality time with my parents ❤️ and learning new skills from them (I’m now a table/chop saw and wallpaper pasting expert… see vid below). Least favorite part of Renovations: See weaknesses; Traveling home so much. I’ve been home more times this year than the last few years combined - and not all flights have been pleasant (or cheap!)! Haha. I hope you’re enjoying seeing all the progress, I know we are. We’re getting soooo close…. Maybe even close enough for some to stay for Old Sod Days! ☺️
