Private 30 Acre Farm W/ Walking Trails - Sleeps 10, Unwind & Enjoy the outdoors.

Memories Made and Stories Told Since 1876.

Step into a five-generation legacy at Smith Family Farm.

Escape the pace of modern life and retreat to our historic 1876 farmhouse. Set on 30+ private acres of rolling Minnesota landscape, this meticulously renovated home blends 150 years of charm with the modern comforts your family needs for a peaceful getaway. Whether you’re hosting a small family meetup or a quiet weekend with friends, the farm offers the perfect backdrop for making your own history.

The Home
With 2,250 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, there is room for everyone to spread out or gather together.

The Main Floor: Features a full-scale, modern kitchen and a spacious living area. The main-floor bathroom features a deep soaking tub with a hand-shower wand—perfect for a relaxing end to the day (please note: there is no stand-up shower on this level).

The Second Floor: Home to peaceful sleeping quarters and a second full bathroom with a traditional shower/tub combination.

The Bonus Basement: A cozy 250-square-foot "nook" designed specifically for games, play, and rainy-day entertainment.

Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 10)
Our flexible layout is ideal for a mix of adults and children:

Bedroom 1 & 2: (Upstairs) Quiet retreats featuring comfortable Queen-sized beds.

Bedroom 3: (Upstairs) The "Bunk Room," featuring four extra-large Twin beds (plenty of room for adults!).

The Sunroom: (Main Floor) A bright, airy space featuring a Queen-sized Murphy bed—the perfect spot to wake up to the morning light.

Outdoor Living & 30+ Private Acres
The magic of Smith Family Farm truly happens outside.

Sunrise & Sunset: Start your morning with coffee on the large east-facing deck as the sun rises over the fields. In the evening, move to the fire pit near the pavilion to roast marshmallows and watch the sky turn gold.

Play & Explore: Take a stroll on our private walking trail (a guest and pet favorite!) or enjoy our 7-hole disc golf course. We also provide cornhole, bocce ball, and plenty of space to run.

The Pavilion: A covered outdoor gathering space featuring a Blackstone Griddle and ample seating for alfresco dining.
