Woodland Trails Lodge on 130 acres with ponds and miles of private trails

Woodland Trails' Lodge was built in 2003 to be an upscale B & B and has been meticulously maintained since. It is now available for your exclusive use. The Great Room is a perfet place for your friends and family to gather. The wood-burning fireplace, with wood provided, adds cozieness.

The dining room has seating for everyone, and the kitchen is fully equipped.

The view out the windows is of wildlife, including deer, and birds at the feeders. Our private pond is a big figure "8" that makes for an enjoyable trip around on one of our paddle boats or canoe.

The seven bedrooms are all spacious, have a private bath, comfortable seating area with electric fireplace and a private deck or patio. Six of the baths also have a whirlpool tub. Each bedroom is perfect for quiet time, to take a nap or read a book.

The Owners' Suite, with bedroom, bath and living room is on the main floor. It is perfect for anyone who has difficulty with stairs. Four bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor. They are the Winterberry, Royal Fern, Aspen and Red Oak. The St. Croix and Sugar Maple Rooms are located on the lower, walk-out level.

Five of the bedrooms have king-size beds. The Red Oak as a queen-size and the Sugar Maple has two twin beds and a private bath with shower but no tub.

We have miles of private trails on our wooded land. Outside of snow season, golf carts are provided for touring in comfort.

Bring your four-wheelers or snowmobiles. We have plenty of parking. Our trails are reserved for hiking, snowshoeing and our complimentary golf carts but, in Pine County, it is legal to ride ATVs and Four-Wheelers on the roadside to a major trail system 1/2 mile north of the Lodge.

While our address is Hinckley, we are located 23 miles east of Hinckley, near the St. Croix River and the Wisconsin border. We are just four miles from Danbury, Wisconsin.

We are an easy two-hour drive from the Twin Cities, St. Cloud or Eau Claire and just over an hour from Duluth.

Besides enjoying the view, perhaps with a real-wood fire in the fireplace, guests enjoy watching the birds at feeders outside.

Your well-behaved one or two dogs are welcome.

Two casinos are nearby: St. Croix Casino in Danbury and Grand Casino in Hinckley.

Canoeing and tubing on the St. Croix and Namekagan Rivers through Pardun Conoe Rental in Danbury.

Four-wheeling? Bring yours or rent from Throttle RX Rentals in Danbury.

St. Croix State Park, Minnesota's largest, has activities in every season. Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Grantsburg has great wildlife watching, particularly during spring and fall migrations. Forts Folle Avoine in Webster, Wisconsin is a reproduction of an 1803 fur trading post.

What are your interests? Let us know and we will be happy to make suggestions.

Rates: The base rate covers six guests. The rate for each additional guest is $45 per person per night, which is shown under "Host Fees" and "Additional Guests".

Beautiful property, loved the private trails to explore. The bikes and golfcarts were great. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Enjoyed our family stay there. Only complaint - I struggled with the induction stove, I wish I would've thought to bring an electric frypan. 10/10 Would reccomend for a family getaway!

It is meticulously clean, with all the amenities you could possibly want, and the lovely view from the many windows begs to be enjoyed. We definitely hope to return next year!

This was our fourth stay at this fabulous property and it was just as memorable as the first, second and third. We love this property so much that we extend each year's reservation to have more time enjoying another comfortable, relaxing stay, All of the Woodland Trails staff take pride in keeping the grounds and house in pristine condition. Thank you all for what you do! We are extremely grateful for John and Sandy's generosity for sharing this magnificent property!

Another great stay!

Aside from the rainy weather, the trip was great. We’ve stayed here before and this visit was just as good as the others. Amazing trails, fun paddle boats, and tons of space for lazy/rainy days full of games, puzzles, and movies. Had to reach out to the on-site caretakers for a small issue and they were at the door and resolved the issue within minutes. Amazing folks. Will be staying again for sure.

This is probably the sixth time my family has rented this over the years. So much so that my 5 year old son believes that it’s our cabin. This visit was like the rest. Amazing. I’ll be back in a month with the other side of my family!

Family Reunion

A very wonderful experience. The house is beautiful and immaculate. All our needs were met. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. We had plenty ofnecessary towels and linens. Their special little touches were appreciated and unexpected. We had 11 people and more than enough room.The trails are great and well marked. So much fun driving the gulf carts on them.The firepit are is very nice. There is plenty of seating. Very wel maintained.I really can't say enough about this place. I highly recommend renting. You will not be disappointed.

Our family had another great stay at Woodland Trails. It is a superior value for all of the amenities that come with the property. The property has a lot to offer all age groups; I don't know who enjoyed our stay more; my wife and I, our kids or our Grandkids. Our family has already booked next year's vacation here.
