Central to Resort Territory

Perched high on top of a hill in the quaint town of Akeley, Minnesota, this attached apartment promises serenity, wildlife, and sunrise views. Attached apartment offers a private drive, spacious parking/unloading, a secondary entrance shared only with the studio (under construction), a full kitchen, and 2nd floor balcony overlooking the courtyard and back acreage. Connected directly to the Round River Drive ATV trail, and only a short drive to the Nevis Wilder snow mobile trail, public Eleventh Crow Wing lake/fishing pier, and Heartland State Trail.

The space:

Welcome to our secluded castle tower!

Tucked among the Red Pines, Northern White Cedars, mature Oaks, and Norway Spruce, our home invites all types of wildlife to its door. We see deer, turkeys, eagles, ducks, geese, and many types of butterflies/bees/lightning bugs/insect friends daily. We also hear Loons, owls, and often coyote from the woods.

Our home:

While not a true castle, the creators of this unique home were very skilled artists who modeled the home after the renaissance era. They included a stone exterior, weathervanes, fleur de lis' throughout, and an English garden in front.
We occupy the main house year-round along with our furry companions, but give our guests complete privacy throughout their stay. This is achieved with a private drive and a separate entrance into the studio and apartment that is separate from the house.

Your apartment:

A much more modern addition, the second and third floor apartment located to the northeast of the home, has hand painted countertops displaying a birch forest transitioning through the seasons and a beautiful vintage window overlooking forest and prairie, with gorgeous views of the sunrise and stars. There is also an east-facing balcony located off the common area with seating for two.

Guest access:

We are excited that we can currently provide flexible check-in and check-out times; we just ask that guests don't check in prior to 8 am or check out after 8 pm. We hope this will allow you to make the most of all your days with us and ensure your trip is as relaxing as possible!

During your stay, you will have access to the private drive and the apartment. We also have a play area, a firepit, and a courtyard equipped with seating and a grill that are shared use between the main house and the apartment. We are also located on 20 acres with forest to explore, and green space on all sides for a lawn game, stroll, or picnic.

Other things to note:

We may be secluded but we are not lacking in nearby ammenities! We are in the heart of resort territory; 10 minutes to Nevis, 15 minutes to Walker, and 20 minutes to Park Rapids. You'll have quick access to gas stations/convenience stores, grocery stores (including plenty of organic/gluten-free/vegetarian/vegan options and specialty stores), shopping (boutiques, antiques, thrift, artisan malls, and more), and restaurants (American, Chinese, Mexican, Thai, etc.). You can also find live music nightly during the summer and events happening in all directions!
