Upsala House | Wizard's LOTR Cabin: New Treehouse Addition! Pet-friendly.

3 Bedroom House in Upsala, Holdingford

Come and surround yourself with the magic of the wizards! We are excited to add our new Wizard's Treehouse Room! Perched around a tree and next to a zip line, it offers privacy and fun, with a slide delivering you to the ground. Property also features a hot tub opened year-round, and 3 acres of fenced land. We're just three miles from Cedar Lake Memorial Campground featuring boating, fishing and a magnificent descending sand lake shore. 27 mile-long Soo Line Trail offers hiking, biking, and snowmobiling. Free Wi-Fi. Full bathroom with shower. The Wizard's Cabin is on the edge of a rural town of 450 with a park, bar/restaurant. Upsala is the town where "Things are always looking up!" Diversity is most welcome.
More information
The cottage itself is timber-framed. Its timbers were locally harvested and it is artfully crafted and decorated, with a soaring loft area accessed by ladder, and cozy living space with fireplace. There is a very large 20' X 30' deck with chairs in the front of the cottage, a smaller, more private deck outside the back patio door, and a covered porch. It also now boasts a 14 X 14 tree room with lots of light and magic, and a small deck that surrounds a gnarled old tree, much like the Ents. Visit our Mordor corner, featuring the great eye of Sauron, fun signs and warnings, and a surprise when you open the Mor Door.
Guest access
The cottage will be unlocked for you prior to your arrival. Parking is available on the street or right on the property. The three acres is yours to roam, as are wooded areas surrounding the property. Paved roads and very low traffic make for good bicycling and we have bike and walking trails nearby. A fountain and 16' waterfall is a water feature in our yard, creating pleasant "white" noise.
We also offer a full size refrigerator, a gas oven with four burners, a microwave, a kitchen sink, and a flush toilet.
Interaction with guests
We are retired and we do live in a separate house on the property so we're usually around to make sure you have everything you need/want. My goal is to provide the privacy that you've likely come here to find.
Other things to note
We are 8 miles from bike/hiking trail access near Bowlus, MN, so you have a choice of whether you want to start your excursion from here or drive there. We also lived on a paved street with extremely light traffic. Good for biking, walking, running, dog walking.
Hunters and fishing folk are welcome during those seasons. For local hunting/fishing opportunities, please look up Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). We are in the corner of Morrison, Stearns and Todd Counties, and we recommend starting your searches there.
We welcome families, singles, couples, and pets. We have 2 dogs, 2 sister cats, and a waterfall feature on the property.
We are 1.5 - 2 hours from the Twin Cities, so consider us for get away accommodations. We are far from the "madding" crowds, light and air pollution. See the stars again. And watch for the magic.

Summary: The cabin was fun to stay in. I'm not a LOTR person but I still appreciated it all. Only down side I would say is I'm a longer shower person and the hot water is more for quick showers
