This quaint little retreat is exactly as pictured! Andrea and Sheldon are wonderful hosts and thought of everything you didn't know you needed for your stay - including board games, an umbrella and even a blanket on the outdoor couch for chilly nights while using the fire pit - which they also provided the fire wood. The place was very clean. We enjoyed all the animals as well. We highly recommend the Country School Guesthouse for your next stay in the Lanesboro area.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Country School Guest House! Andrea and Sheldon were warm and welcoming! We truly enjoyed our visits in the yard. We loved hearing about the house and rescue animals. Kadi and Molly (the host’s rescue dogs) were happy to visit with us each morning and evening after our biking adventures! We look forward to our next visit!

We loved everything about our stay here. My sister and I grew up in rural Iowa as kids and have been city people for many years now. We wanted a rural experience. The country side was beautiful. The quest house was wonderful. An Amish neighbor had finished the interior, and it could not have been more charming or functional. We especially enjoyed the fire pit on the back patio and the rescue animals they keep. Sheldon and Andera were so friendly and accommodating, but yet respected our privacy.

Great quiet escape. In the country
The cottage is a cozy quiet place in the country tucked in Amish country. The cottage well stocked and nicely decorated. The ceiling in the loft is very low, but otherwise a great stay.

We had an incredibly peaceful stay in a delightful place which included everything we could ask for. We enjoyed our visit with Andrea and Sheldon, and they were very responsive to any questions that we had. The weather was not very cooperative for us, but we were still able to enjoy the outdoors sitting sheltered from the rain on the patio.

Andrea and Sheldon were super great hosts and answered any questions we had quickly. The bunkhouse was very clean and came with everything we needed for a nice stay. The property was close to the Root River Trail where we biked, and it was very relaxing and quiet. The farm animals and pets were nice to be able to pet and interact with. We will most definitely be back.
It was extremely clean with cute decorations. Owners were very friendly and kind. I would definitely stay there again. Warm and cozy accommodations and close to surrounding towns!
Wonderful little farm house with everything you need. Beautiful Amish furniture. We met the owners and they were great. Very accommodating. Beware tall people the loft has a low sealing.

Friendly Farm
The property was a charming bunkhouse on a small farm. It was immaculately clean and so cleverly decorated for the Amish area without going overboard. The owners take care of rescue animals. We enjoyed interacting with the animals and the owners. The rental was a short drive to small towns that were fun to explore. A very relaxing long weekend in the beautiful countryside of the bluff country.

Cozy farm cabin experience
We loved the farm environment, cozy bunk house, and warm hospitality. Though we were looking for just a place to stay, this also served as our entertainment (because we love relaxing outside and adore animals). The bunk house was clean, set up perfectly, and had many more amenities than we ever would’ve expected. We will be back!
