Weekend Cabin Trip 2 hours From the Twin Cities

If you are into outdoorsy things but aren’t into tent camping OR the crowds…I have the perfect cabin getaway for your family! I found a new favorite spot less than 2 hours from the Twin Cities. Aefintyr cabins in Elba, MN is the perfect spot for a one or two night cabin getaway. These 12 by 16 ft modern treehouse cabins are built into the bluffs of the Whitewater River Valley. All you have to do is pack your clothes, food, outdoor recreation and prepare for an adventure! 

Some cabin highlights include

*Heated year-round cabins (we went in the winter and it was the perfect winter weekend getaway and had the place to ourselves!) 

*Triple bunks beds plus a pullout sleeper sofa

*Shared bathhouse just a few steps away from all three cabins with a hot shower and shampoo and conditioner included for your use. There’s even a first aid kit in the bathroom in case you forget yours! 

*Microwave and a mini fridge make it easy to bring your meals along. We made tacos at home and reheated–perfect easy reheat meal! 

*Cabin wifi (remote work anyone?!)

*Two skylights giving it a very modern feel and plenty of natural lighting

*A selection of books and games for your in cabin entertainment 

*Towels, bed linens, and blankets provided–less to add to your packing list! 

*Dog friendly 🐕 finding a dog friendly spot can be challenging but Aefintyr has you covered!
