The Afton Shouse
Discover the perfect escape in our charming shouse (also known as a shed house or bardominium), a cozy retreat thoughtfully designed for comfort and simplicity. Featuring a stylish, functional interior with modern amenities, a compact yet spacious layout, and rustic charm, our shouse makes you feel right at home. It’s an ideal getaway for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a bit of peace and tranquility.
Located along the scenic St. Croix Scenic Byway, this route feels wonderfully remote yet remains conveniently close to the Twin Cities. Enjoy breathtaking drives, explore countless trails within the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and uncover hidden gems in nearby state parks—all just minutes from your door.
Nestled in rolling hills just over a mile south of Afton Alps, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house sits on more than 5 acres of peaceful land, providing ample space for relaxation and outdoor adventures. We are dog-friendly, so your furry friends are welcome to join your stay.
Come experience the natural beauty and tranquility of The Afton Shouse. We look forward to hosting you!
