engineering1's Host Location

We don't have a camper, but we've hosted many guests. We live in the country and have plenty of land. We are a homeschooling family with 3 kids and enjoy meeting new people to hear their stories. You can tap into our well water if a hose can reach. Cell phones don't get signal in our valley; you might pick up Lemke Guest on wifi. Star viewing can be quite good here, and fireflies give a good show in the summer months. All dogs must be leashed since we have chickens. Our driveway is a dead-end, so you need to turn around. Long rigs have turned around before, but it has challenged some drivers. Suggested Local Attractions: We are 10 minutes from the Root River Bike Trail (http://www.rootrivertrail.org/site/index.php) in either Houston or Rushford. The Creamery in Rushford has ice cream plus menu items. Houston has a nature center (http://www.houstonnaturecenter.com/) and nice Natural Playground. If you bike out of Lanesboro, watch for the Whalan pie shop. We are 20 minutes from Winona, MN and 30 minutes from La Crosse, WI. Both of these cities are on the Mississippi with likely bald eagle viewing. Try the Free Range Exchange in Hokah for breakfast or lunch items to-go. Locally sourced. We are 60 minutes from Mayo Clinic. Our house is located in a scenic bluff valley, and deer are common here.
