What a wonderful cabin! Naomi was great about keeping us updated. We had a really relaxing trip; great games in the cabin and yard games in the secondary structure. Very well thought out decor throughout the cabin. So glad to have found such a great place and a great host so close! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin near St Croix State park. Great location and Cabin. Host was excellent. Everything worked out well. Thanks Haskins Family

I’ve been looking for a place to practice night photography where there isn’t much light pollution. I used a dark skies website to learn locations that would work for me—this is a good spot, with limited pollution from the Twin Cities and Duluth as well as other towns. Given our summer schedules, we had to go soon after a full moon, but we were able to figure things out to get some pretty good photos--we were able to capture photos of the Milky Way and just a few photos of meteors for the annual perseid meteor shower, which will be peaking during the new moon next weekend. Beyond the night skies, we had great internet access (one of us had to work for the first day we were there and had no problems). We also went out to a couple of great MN State Parks (Banning/St. Croix) for some nice hikes and had some good down time reading books. It was just what we needed.

Awesome place, comfortable and peaceful. Plenty of room to roam. 20 minutes away from any groceries or restaurants. So I would plan to pack all foods and snack. Spent time at Banning State Park and at throttle Up ATV ‘s. Both were great. Fire pit and star gazing with s’mores and a full moon, how can you top that! Highly Recommend Crooked Creek Retreat! Naomi made check in and out easy! Fall Get Away may be in the cards!
