About this property

The Fox Den Comfy Lower Unit

Welcome to Whippletree!

You'll stay in the main lower level of the original farmhouse with access to nature trails on this working farm.

The house has two bedrooms, full kitchen, full bathroom, living room and diningroom. Being built in 1900, it's got some rough edges here and there, though it is clean and comfortable.

You'll have access to the best of both worlds: natural beauty of woods and meadows, and quick access to St. Paul (20 minutes), Stillwater (10 minutes) and all the attractions that the Twin Cities have to offer.

The farm often has some level of activity going on, you will see other people and the upper unit of the house is also rented, but the lower unit apartment is a private space just for you.

This is our sixth-generation family farm, and while it's more of a hobby farm now, it has been in continuous agricultural production since 1869! We consider this our sanctuary and enjoy sharing it with others looking for a place of retreat to connect with the natural world.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom features a bathtub or shower, a bidet, and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills and bike storage.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Girls get away
Beautiful peaceful setting, girl friends spent talking and praying hiking cooking and eating! Spent a day in Stillwater rode the trolley and finished our trip with brunch at the Lake Elmo Inn!

So peaceful
Nothing beats a quiet farm. Outside the big city. We live on a farm in Texas and that is what we are happy with. So when this listing popped up I jumped on it. The house is so unique. The goats are so lovable. Peter was super nice and explained everything about the farm. We will be staying again.

Peace and tranquility just outside the busy city
Very nice place to get away from the traffic, noise, etc of the twin cities, but close enough to provide access to all of the amenities. Clean, safe and peaceful.

Family reunion
This property is very peaceful and was convenient to our family. There is no overall air conditioning so we were lucky it wasn’t too hot. The host was very attentive and quickly provided a bath mat for the shower floor. All good! You will enjoy your stay if you book her

Peaceful getaway
We enjoyed our stay here. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the well maintained trails. It was peaceful and quiet. Our only issue was that there was only 1 window AC unit in the master bedroom. It was cool in the evenings, so it was tolerable, but I do believe it would be an issue if it was any warmer outside. Mr. Peter was a wonderful host and we would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful charming oasis
We thrived at Whippletree’s Cozy Farmhouse. Nature and quiet surrounded us. We saw deer (two fawns!), ground hogs, sand hill cranes, turkeys, heard coyotes at night, and visited the goats and chickens. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Well appointed, the home had lovely cozy blankets for curling up in front of a movie. Our daughter was excited by the PlayStation, though we were too busy to use it. After our days engagements in St. Paul and Northern MN, we relished coming home to the peace and quiet of the farmhouse. The onsite trails are an absolute gem!! Well maintained, they were a pleasure to hike. Our family plans to make this our home in MN whenever we visit family. The host is exceptional, the home is lovely, and farm is wonderful. We will be back.

Perfect girlfriends gathering spot
Beautiful property with a fantastic house. They thought of every amenity and more. Great beds, high end paper products, wonderful kitchen with ice for drinks, cream and sugar for coffee and a fancy hot water pot- nice soaps and toiletries too. Happy they provided extra charging cords and a Sonos system. We enjoyed the cozy living space, soft blankets and the gorgeous property for a morning hike. Definitely worth more than we paid - hope to stay again sometime.
