How we ended up in Knife Lake Township on 81 acres of forested land.
We began looking for land in late fall of 1996.
After several months of searching, we happened upon a tiny newspaper ad for 81 acres of land described as "Beautiful, secluded, mature hardwoods, tall pines w/creek & beaver pond, many gd bldg sites & great hunting". We toured the property, covered in almost two feet of snow, on a snowmobile in January 1997 and fell in love with it.
We have been stewards of this piece of land for 25 years and are still enamored of its beauty and diversity. We are lulled to sleep by the sounds of owls and bullfrogs and the distant yipping of coyotes. Spring through fall we are often awakened by the rattling, honking of sandhill cranes and a wide variety of bird songs. Besides deer and lots of small critters, we've seen bear, bobcat, rafters of turkeys, quail, grouse, pheasant, owls, hawks and eagles. The sky, on a clear night, is breathtaking.
We have always visualized sharing the land with others, so come and immerse yourself in this bountiful space.
Staying at this campsite feels like a peaceful retreat into nature. Guests consistently mention the unique experiences of staying in a tipi or yurt, highlighting the well-maintained grounds and the warm hospitality of hosts Bob and Roxanne. While the occasional bug issue is noted, the serene environment, complete with walking trails and lush gardens, seems to leave a lasting positive impression on visitors. Overall, campers appreciate the privacy and tranquility, making it a favored choice for those looking to unplug.
We went in the fall it was so peaceful and calm. The fire ring was awesome with the lid. The Tipi was awesome and really well built it had gotten really windy but it didn't even flutter we didn't even have a draft. I brought a Mr heater along and it stayed nice and cozy.
Bob and Roxanne communicated with me the week of my stay. They were very welcoming and made sure that I had everything that I needed! The yurt was very comfortable. I will definitely stay with them again.
We had a great weekend at Bob and Rox's off the grid property. Everything was exactly what we were hoping for and a little bit more. Choose this destination and you won't be disappointed!
The yurt and outhouse were both well maintained. Don’t forget your bug spray!! The privacy and quietness was welcomed. Not a lot of airflow or breeze to the camp area so bring a battery operated fan or two. Hosts were kind and welcoming. Thank you for a unique experience!
