STONE HOUSE FARM – Exceptional and Peaceful

Welcome and thank you for visiting the STONE HOUSE FARM page! My name is David, and along with my wife Brodie, we are the owners and hosts of this special property. For many years, we have had the joy of sharing Stone House Farm with guests and hearing how much they love the beautifully-restored farmhouse, rural views, trail walks, family games, birdwatching, bonfires, and much more!

Located just outside the southwest metro of the Twin Cities, Stone House Farm offers an extraordinary setting for a rural lodging experience. And yet it’s so close to the metro that many guests stay at the farm as their home base while visiting the Twin Cities!

The farm is distinguished by its charming, nearly 100-year-old, superbly-clean, 3-bedroom, 2-bath stone farmhouse which features an open floor plan, lots of natural light, fully equipped kitchen, and classic stove fireplace. You’ll be surrounded by 115 private acres of rolling hills, native grasses, and mature trees. The secluded "Back 40” natural area with a meandering creek and maintained trails is a special place to walk, cross-country ski, and view wildlife.

Guests come from near and far to enjoy all the farm has to offer—cookouts by the outdoor fireplace, stories and s'mores over the bonfire ring (split wood provided), family fun like disc golf, horseshoes, corn hole, ping pong, foosball, table games, piano, mountain bikes (provided), or just kicking back and taking in the picturesque rural views.

Venture off the farm to visit the many area attractions—Minnesota's Largest Candy Store, Valley Fair, many golf courses and lakes, horseback riding, zip lining, fall festivals, apple orchards, and much, much more.

The Psalmist wrote, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul.” We hope this is what you experience at Stone House Farm.

SETTING: You will enjoy plenty of privacy on the farm's 115 acres. The farmhouse is set back a quarter mile from quiet Sawmill Road and perched atop a hill with beautiful views in nearly every direction. The Back 40 natural acreage, much of it reflecting the original prairie landscape of Minnesota, is a treat to explore. Each season at the farm—winter, spring, summer, and fall—offers its own unique experience!

FARM LIFE: Stone House Farm is a working farm. Depending on time of year, you will likely see our friendly farmer-neighbors working the fields or their cows munching away in the back pasture. There is no livestock around the farmhouse…but you will probably hear some “MOOS” in the distance!

LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM, KITCHEN: All three rooms on the main level are open and connected and filled with natural light. The LIVING ROOM is suited for relaxing on the comfy chairs and couch, where during cooler times of year, you can enjoy the warmth of the classic stove fireplace (gas fueled). The DINING ROOM with its large table is perfect for family meals and games. The KITCHEN is fully equipped for all your culinary ideas, with double-oven and range, Kuerig Duo coffee maker, and a traditional farm sink overlooking the yard. Full list of kitchen items available upon request.
