This old homestead belonged to my belated uncle Steve, and after he passed unexpectedly, I had returned to Minnesota from California and wanted to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for those interested in sharing a peaceful and modest property. The old barn is a work in progress to eventually become the base to accommodating more travelers and outdoor enthusiasts as finances permit. After working in the service industry bartending for 14 years and hosting 100+ global travelers via CouchSurfing out of San Diego, I am well versed in creating an inviting space, it has been a fulfilling endeavor. We look forward to meeting you and sharing/swapping stories around the campfire! Learn more about this land: Our property and profile are in constant change as we are in a stage of development, but we look to share our land with those seeking to enjoy a warm, welcome environment for those fellow wanderers, outdoor enthusiasts, vagabonds, and globetrotters. I am a well-traveled backpacker myself and share 5 1/2 acres with my father here in a bustling little touristy town. We enjoy the company of those who endorse small footprint, sustainable practices and like to establish meaningful connections.  All we ask is that you respect the property, our neighbors, and make an effort to add one more new friend before you depart.

Tumbleweed Base Camp
Peaceful and convenient base camp
Tumbleweed was the perfect "base camp" for our weekend getaway. We biked right from our campsite to the fun, flowy and fast MTB trails at Detroit Mountain and had a blast. The trip into town to search for trolls was quick and easy. And the property itself is beautiful and quiet. We savored the starry nights and peaceful feeling. Our only disappointment is that the weather was too nice and we didn't get to experience all the delights the barn has on offer. We'll have to come back for a snowy or rainy weekend so we can play ping pong with David!

Nice property, some privacy and wooded sites. Both David and his son Logan were warm and welcoming.

Beautiful, Peaceful and welcoming!
David and Logan were fantastic hosts - we are on our way home from west to east and booked last minute. We were welcomed when we arrived, and enjoyed the lovely fire pit that is on property- complete with wood! We shared the fire with a fellow traveler and had a fantastic evening exchanging stories! The only bummer was we didn’t get to spend more time at this location - seems like there is lots to do, and the property is beautifully maintained! Would definitely recommend!

Great spot to set up camp for the night. Hosts were very quick with communication. Nice amenities in communal barn space.

It was such a cute spot. Loved the platform camp spot! The barn was very neat. Can't wait to go back with the family. Host was very kind. Great location all around.
