Ski season has started and Afton Alps is open. Nothing better than soaking in the Sauna and Hot Tub after a day on the slopes. Need a weekend getaway from the busy life. Enjoy a peaceful setting with all the resort amenities at J.W. Resort. Whether you are soaking in the hot tub, relaxing in the sauna, sitting around a bonfire or belly up to the bar; you'll forget about stress and enjoy time with family/friends. Sleeps up to 8 people with private kitchen, laundry and en-suite bathrooms. The custom house is very unique with loads of charm set near the confluence of the Mississippi and St Croix Rivers. Here you’ll have all the amenities you could ever need for a relaxing weekend getaway or month long stay. You will be just a few steps away from the Carpenters Nature Center and can access the trail system out the back of the 7acre property. Here you can walk the river bank of the St Croix River or explore several miles of trails. Located 15 minutes south of Afton MN where you can enjoy Afton Alps Ski Resort, Afton State Park, or grab ice cream from Selma’s.
