Daniel's Cabin Retreat

Our property North Ridge Pines is often known as The River Farm and our family became stewards of this unique and beautiful rural farm in 2014.  It is a rare combination of deciduous and pine trees, prairie meadows that bloom in mid summer and fall, a small section of the LeSueur River as well as a small pond. 

Our goal is to provide a small private camping get-away spot in nature for you to relax.  We have 4 sites where you do not see the other sites from your location.  We have a few lawn games such as bean bag toss/corn hole, croquet, as well as a canoe, 2 person kayak,  and a paddle board to enjoy on the pond.  The pond does not have any fish.  Life jackets available for youth and adults.  

The River Farm once owned by Ulysses S. Grant and purchased from former Speaker of the House Rod Searle's family.  It was  nicknamed the Jewel of Waseca County because of it's scenic area of the LeSueur River Valley, rolling hillside and diverse topography. Remote valley offers peace and quite with a few frogs, fireflies to enjoy in the summer nights.  

 Pets are allowed at the sites, but for safety please be with your pet or have your pet on a leash when here.  Thanks.
