  • About the Woodland Cottage
    Are you looking for a place to immerse yourself in textile activities or scrapbooking or candlemaking? The Woodland Cottage is just that place.

    Located just an hour northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, this three bedroom, one bathroom cottage is in a quiet wooded setting. It has a fully equipped textile workshop. Come use the looms, the spinning wheels, the cutting mats, the sewing machines or the quilting frames.

    Come with your own projects or bring an instructor or sign up for lessons.

    Take a break from the textile activities. Hike, snowshoe or cross country ski in the 40 acre woods. Feed the sheep. Pet the outdoor cat. Visit the bee yard. Or just sit outside and listen to the birds and the peeper frogs sing. Enjoy the gardens.

    Breakfasts are served. Other meals are available with prior arrangements, or use our furnished kitchen. No smoking, no pets, please.

          Check the Calendar page for open dates
          and information about "Kids Art Camp".
