Beautiful rural retreat

My stay at the comfortable, cozy Abide exceeded my expectations, a gorgeous space with views of fields and the Kinnikinnick river. The highlight of my evening there was a wood fire sauna overlooking the river, after a lantern lit walk through field and pasture. I look forward to returning for a longer stay.

Gorgeous

We had such a great time at the Kinni Cottage. What a beautiful spot and Alexa and Scott were fantastic. We visited for our 10 year wedding anniversary and we can't wait to come back for our next anniversary! The sauna was so great with the river right next for a cold plunge. The style of the cottage was beautiful and spotless, so clean! Loved it all. Anyone considering staying at the Kinni Cottage should book it!

Amazing tranquil place!

Our stay was perfect. The rental was extremely clean and unlike any other we’ve been to. The bed was very comfortable, towels were extra fluffy and the outdoor space was so tranquil. We loved the quietness the space had to offer. The sauna was a fun bonus that we also really enjoyed! The hosts were so sweet and accommodating. You can really tell how much pride of ownership they have. We can’t wait to stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a break from reality and a time to slow down and reconnect with your spouse!

★★★★★ 5/5 stars One of the best places we've ever stayed! The Abide unit delivers an extraordinary blend of luxury resort amenities with authentic farm charm. The sauna experience was absolutely terrific, and the property's ancient trees create a majestic natural canopy that adds to the magical atmosphere. The owners' remarkable attention to detail transforms every aspect of the stay into something special - from the incredibly comfortable king bed to the thoughtfully designed spaces. It genuinely feels like a 5-star resort experience, but with the unique character and tranquility of a historic farmstead. Everything about our stay was seamless, from the easy check-in process to the flexible check-out. The hosts were extraordinarily kind and accommodating, and the fresh country air made for perfect sleeping conditions. With direct access to the Kinnickinnic River and surrounded by centuries-old trees, the setting couldn't be more picturesque. Perfect for: Anyone seeking a truly exceptional getaway that combines luxury amenities with pastoral charm. This is sophisticated farm stay hospitality at its finest.
