* Book now for the Bob Dylan Concert on September 6th in Somerset!*

Directly access the most underrated nature location in MSP: the St Croix Islands Wildlife Area.

Home is right next door to Somerset River Retreat - book both for your family gathering!

Swim, paddle, and meander national park-caliber nature and feel +500 miles further away than you are. Watch swans migrate and eagles soar. Hunt for frogs in cold and gentle spring water. Marvel as black bears sniff out old fishing camps. Swim on nearby sandbars while exploring the dancing sands of underwater springs. Feel free to borrow our outdoor gear to fish, paddle, and camp; or bring your own!

Relax in a cozy three bedroom home with (beyond) gorgeous views in every season. Have sunset dinner on a large western facing outdoor patio overlooking our small waterfall. Spend an evening watching Apple TV based 4k cinema with “3D bass”; or if it’s not too windy and dry, watch the bats and stars emerge at an outdoor bonfire!
