Announcing Riverwood Hideaway

We are so excited to be announcing the addition of a second “Hideaway” - this one nestled along the Knife River. We have a lot of work to do before opening. In addition to gutting and rebuilding the entire four hundred square foot interior of this adorable cabin, we are required to install a brand new vault privy. We will also be working for some time with Lake County on tree removal and reforestation. A parasitic insect called spruce budworm wiped out most of the balsam and spruce trees throughout the region and invasive buckthorn trees are multiplying along the river. We will be planting young conifers and hardwoods in their place.

For those of you who love Cedarwood Hideaway’s trails through the pristine forest, there will be sixteen acres of footpaths and thirteen hundred feet of riverfront to enjoy. Fly fishing (catch and release) agate picking and wading in the cool rapids in the summer, as well as snow shoeing on the river in the winter are just some of the fun activities in store for you when you stay at Riverwood Hideaway. We hope to open before summer of 2021.

Like Cedarwood Hideaway, Riverwood is only five miles from town, and boasts a myriad of wild animals and birds. Coyotes, wolves and bobcats are evident, especially in the winter months. We have raccoons, porcupines, fox, bears and many other mammals that come out of hibernation in the spring to forage for their first meals.

We will keep you updated on the progress of Riverwood Hideaway, but meanwhile, book your North Shore outing at Cedarwood Hideaway - your stay on the wild side of town!
