About this property

Cyclin-Up Inn 3 br home overlooking Whalan and the Root River Trail, Pet Welcome

The house sleeps 8 in 3 queen sized beds and one full size futon. It has 2 bathrooms and an awesome view. In the front yard there is a softball park, complete with teeter-totters, slide, swings and fire pit. The house has hardwood floors and is pet friendly. The small town of Whalan is located just 4 miles east of Lanesboro. You can walk, drive, swim, kayak, bike, or canoe between the two towns. The property is located just one block off the Root River State Bicycle Trail and about 3 blocks from the World Famous Pie Shop.
This 100+ year old house has been moved, from its original location across from the pie shop, and is now overlooking Gator Greens Mini Golf. The house has been gutted to the studs and totally redone. Great location for the cycling enthusiasts of all ages. Whalan is located just 4 miles from Lanesboro, and 8 miles from Peterson. It is some of the flattest parts of the trail, offering great views of the bluffs as well as the river.
Absolutely no ATVs on property. Dogs are allowed, however we do ask that you clip your pets nails as the hardwood floors have been resurfaced in March 2022. Dogs are an additional cost per night ask for details.

High on the Hill
The house was fine but nothing special. We did not know that the second bathroom and a bedroom were in the basement. Two more bedrooms were upstairs, but no upstairs bathroom. There was minimal silver ware and no glasses that seemed usable. We bought glasses to use. The Coffee pot did not work. We notified the owner on the 2nd day and she brought her coffee pot to the house while we were out biking. We were there to bike mostly so we made it work. The location was as described up on a hill. The house was walking distance to the small town where one store was open during our 5 day stay. It looked like a nice bakery across the street from the trail, but this time of year, the owner is only open on Saturday. Lots of steps and they were dusty. There was a cobweb in the basement bathroom. The water barely trickled out of the shower head. The basement bedroom did have windows, so that helped but it was 10 degrees cooler in the lower level. It was a quiet house at night. A park is right next to the house if you have children. The house has an interesting history of how it was brought to this location and installed on the hill. It was very adequate for a few days for the two of us.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Hughes

Host profile image
I own and operate this house. I am originally from Duluth, and has migrated south. I runs the Gator Greens Mini Golf course and keeps the guests happy.

Why they chose this property

This house was 'Free to a good home', but we had to move it 4 blocks and completely remodel it. We put it on a walk out basement, and placed a large 10x20 deck overlooking the mini golf course, bike trail and the river. The inside offers 3 bedrooms all with great views. Lots of wild life to experience, deer, squirrels, birds and the like. Private setting.

What makes this property unique

This house has a great view, wonderful deck and exceptional city park in your front yard, which includes a baseball diamond, fire pit, swings teeter totters, slides and monkey bars that is one of Whalan's best kept secrets. Located near the end of Bench Street, it offers you a private, wooded adventure. Nestled along side the original homestead of John Whalahann. John deeded the property to the city of Whalan and thus created Whalan. The house is currently being remodeled too. The house is located just one block off the Root River State Bicycle trail, allowing for Cycling enthusiasts great access to the trail.
