Previously a 100 acre century farm, this fertile land was tended to by generations of old time farmers. Their dairy cows pastured in areas which we now graze sheep. The restored quarry provided gravel for the nearby highway restoration and local projects. The property is currently a mix of hay ground, cropland, pasture, forest, and quarry. Twin sisters, Darla and Kayla, and their families live across the road from each other and own the surrounding 140 acres. They keep busy planting/tending trees, making hay, moving fence for grazing animals, operating a farm business called Twin Folk Farms (pastured meat, camps, etc), and raising their families. Learn more about this land: - This site is at the edge of a restored quarry, sheep pasture, and wooded hillside. - The site is tucked down a flat mowed path, so it feels very private and protected. - You can hike up a path to the sheep pasture. Sometimes sheep are there, sometimes elsewhere on the farm. You can hike the other direction and check out the restored quarry. We have paths all around the property, so feel free to respectfully explore. - You can't see the highway from this site, but you can hear it. It's super handy to be able to hop out of your campsite haven and onto the hwy, but be aware that you will hear vehicles. - There's a Mississippi river boat launch a few miles down the road, so feel free to park your boat at the bottom of the quarry driveway. - The Hay Creek riding trails are 25 minutes away, so contact us if you want to set up a place in the quarry to park your horses and trailer for the night. - We are certified to sell meat straight off of the farm (Twin Folk Farms), so contact us if you want to purchase your meat and have it delivered to your campsite. You can also set up a time to come up to the farm and purchase meat. - The beautiful, historic town of Red Wing is 10 minutes from our farm. You'll find a mix of modern amenities and historic shops to suit your fancy.

Sheep Shanty

Private spot—nice!

We were looking for something simple and secluded, stayed here for an event in Ellsworth but really wanted to check it out to see if it would work for us to bring our dog, who has fear and anxiety issues with strange people and animals. It was perfect—very remote feeling with no scary distractions. We’ll be back with the dog! I would recommend four-wheel drive, as the road into the site is a bit steep with some gullies but our big truck, pulling a smallish camping trailer, made it just fine. Great location and privacy.

Sheep Shanty

What a wonderful spot of land with lots of room to explore! We were able to take the kids hiking up the dry creek bed, and they loved playing hide and seek in the big quarry! The stars at night were also a sight to see. The owner brought us fresh farm eggs and ground lamb, and you absolutely could tell the eggs were from well-cared for chickens. It was such a little oasis, with plenty of shade to keep cool throughout the day.

Hidden Hills Off Grid Cabin

We absolutely loved the cabin! It made for the perfect weekend getaway. Red wing, and Ellsworth are just down the road in either direction which makes a quick trip town or dinner out easy, yet the property feels “back-woods” and private. The place was clean, the property was well maintained, and the price was reasonable. 10/10

Hidden Hills Off Grid Cabin

Off grid adventure

We loved driving off road through the field to get to our parking spot, and hiking up and down the trail to get to the hilltop cabin. Stargazing by the fire was awesome, we also enjoyed walking the property, visiting with the sheep, hanging out inside the cabin and cooking on the grill. We enjoyed the Red Wing area and hope to return in the future!

Hidden Hills Off Grid Cabin

Great little escape

This was a cute little cabin hidden away. It's only an hour from the twin cities so it is a great little escape from reality. I would highly recommend this the star gazing alone was out of this world!

Camping with perks!

I will say for our first RV camping without hookups we had a blast. Darla & family were the most gracious hosts ever. They delivered us ground lamb on horseback the first night (which was super cool!) then 2nd day Darla delivered us some cold water & a kiddie pool to help us beat the heat & then again impressed us by delivering us a rabbit that my husband & son cooked over the fire & they truly enjoyed it! We would definitely come back again!
