Afton Alps neighborhood Pilgrims Roost Guest Room #2... Million Dollar view from every window, patio and deck. On the Bluffs of the majestic St. Croix River! Perfect for Skiers, Snowboarders, and Snow Shoers & Hikers. And in Spring and Summer Bikers, Birders and Fishermen and Fisherwomen, Boaters (we have our own dock), weekend get-aways, and retreats We are located right off the St. Croix Trail and the MRT(Minnesota RiverTrail...for Bikers) between Hastings and the Afton Alps Ski Course. Here at Pilgrim's Roost I have 2 Private Guest Rooms both w/ their own B’s. Guest Rm#2(black 4 poster bed) is listed as Riverfront Birdwatchers Natures Retreat Near Afton and Guest Rm#1(light pine 4 poster) is listed as Riverfront Ski Retreat near Afton Alps and they can be rented as one for fun get-togethers w/ family or friends. Or rented separately. Both share the 24/7 Coffee Bar, Decks and Patios. And in the summer the dock. At this time , I am only taking one booking at a time so as not to have guests share common spaces with other guests. Guests have mentioned it feels rather retreat-like. And, I am fully vaccinated. We are a little on the remote side, so you will need your own transportation (no bus lines) Parking on premises. I'm an in-house host and live with my lovely Bailey, a 5 yr.old German Shepherd and CAT, an orange tabby. I love meeting and interacting w/guests but I am totally respectful of guests privacy needs and will tailor your experience to suit your preference. This warm and rustic location is only 28 mins from MSP, a five min. drive to Afton Alps(it's close enough as the crow flies, that we can hear the snow jets.) You can hike into Afton State Park from the Roost. St. Croix Bluffs Regional State Park and the marvelous Carpenter Nature Center are in the neighborhood. Grab dinner up in Afton or across the bridge into Prescott, a short drive away. Stillwater or Hudson, both great "foodie" locations only a half hour away. This is a rather remote area so you will need your own transportation... no bus lines and regrettably no Lyft or Uber, yet. However, Uber will bring you here from MSP. This property is inappropriate for service animals as I have a 90 lb German Shepherd who loves all human guests but is not pet-friendlyThis renders this property not appropriate for any type of service animal as I am an in-house host.
