As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

We who live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes love the outdoors, and often, when we think about heading outside, what comes to mind are images of Northwoods lakes, rugged bluffs, dramatic North Shore scenery, or even tree-lined urban trails. What often gets overlooked in the “outdoors” discourse, however, are the bucolic, rural areas that characterize a good portion of our state – especially in the south and west. If you ask me, there’s little that evokes peace like a simple, pastoral setting – such as the one you’ll find at this countryside Airbnb in Minnesota.

Located near the charming town of Annandale in central Minnesota, this rural Airbnb offers a farm stay that looks like it's ripped from the pages of Country Living magazine.

The "Preserve of Deer Lake" is an 80-acre farm that's been handed down from generation to generation of the same family since 1877.
