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".

Perfect family vacation
We spent Thanksgiving with 7 kids and 6 adults. My elderly parents loved the main floor bedroom. The kids loved being downstairs. We all loved having our own bathrooms! The kitchen was amazing and had everything we need for Thanksgiving.

This fabulous lodge far exceeded our expectations! The spacious, well appointed rooms provided the perfect accommodations for our week long stay. Each bedroom has a sitting area and most rooms have a jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed the paddle boats, bikes and golf carts. We ventured into Danbury for an ATV adventure. The autumn leaves were spectacular. The lodge afforded everything you could want. The kitchen is amazing. Plenty of room for large groups and still maintain some privacy. Highly recommend!

This venue was above and beyond our expectations. We used the golf carts daily to explore the property. We used the paddle boats, as well as the fire pit. The staff was friendly and very responsive. The place was spotless. We enjoyed so much we rebooked for next fall.

Another Relaxing Stay
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. John, Sandra and the property management team are the best.

Won’t disappoint
Spacious for extended family get together. Grand kids had so much fun exploring the property on the golf carts multiple times a day, going on the water bikes, looking for deer, birds, porcupines etc. Home was very clean and supplied with everything you need for your stay! Did not need to bring soap, towels, etc from home. Best part checkout was a breeze, no special rules to follow like stripping the beds, emptying all the garbage etc.. upon leaving like other rentals. If you are on the fence, I would not hesitate to stay here! Very peaceful, but plenty to do on the property.

It was wonderful, everyone had their own ensuit! The house is very large so plenty of room for our party of eleven. The house has everything you need and more for meal prep, huge kitchen and dinning room. The grounds are so beautiful with miles of well groomed trails, fire pit, screen porch, pond with paddle boat. We will be back!

Luxurious oasis in the woods!
My extended family of ages 9 to late 70s stayed in this beautiful lodge in the woods and can't say enough about how wonderful it was. The lodge has everything you would need. We were a group of 12 people and everyone had all of the space they needed to feel comfortable yet it was cozy at the same time. Groceries and restaurants are close by if needed. We ate most all meals at the house. The 4 kids loved all of the activities. I highly recommend this property!
