This was a great place to have as a ‘base camp’ when spending time on our family land near by!

We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the cute cottage with many amenities. The farm fresh eggs were an extra treat! Loved walking the many paths and being away from the hustle and bustle. And the stargazing was perfect! Thank you.

This was extremely quiet and peaceful. Off the beaten path. We spent our time relaxing on the screened porch, reading, and walking the wonderful paths through the meadows and woods. The only sounds were birds and an occasional tractor in the distance. We absolutely loved it and hope to be back.

The pictures on VRBO do NOT do this place justice. The grounds are absolutely stunning, there are beautiful meandering trails through the woods, and the creek is immediately accessible. The cabin itself is absolutely darling. Sometimes at rentals you can tell that they were furnished with cast-offs and extras. Not here! Everything about Redpath is curated, down to the matching tableware. Vicky and Steve are lovely and genuinely invested in their visitor’s experience. We had a great time and would definitely love to come back!

I’ll start by saying that you are right next to the hosts home so be aware of that. I didn’t realize how close. They do stay out of your hair though!
This was one of the most relaxing stays we’ve had while renting and would come back! It was so peaceful to sit on the porch swing, listen to the birds and drink my coffee. The trails were great! (Ticks were abundant, so check when you’re done walking)
My goal for the weekend was to disconnect, relax and just spend time with my family and this was the perfect stay for that! Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus as well!

Vicky and Steve's beautifully refurbished grain bin turned cabin on the prairie is a slice of Heaven! If you're looking for retreat to restore your sanity and peace, book this right away! It is total peace with the right amount of luxury!

My friend and spent the weekend at the Redpath Retreat for the 2nd time. We loved the space and setting. Played games, visited, watched a movie and took a walk. The owners are amazing!
5.0
We stayed here again for the sixth time. We love it so much. It’s so cozy and remote and the perfect way to disconnect while still having the comforts of a great little kitchen, bathroom, and tv/Bluetooth speakers and all. We don’t ever leave the property because everything you need is right there: Snow snowing trails, chickens to visit, endless hours of watching blue jays and fat squirrels, and the best reading couch.
Vicky and Steve are the kindest and easiest people to chat with, and we always wish we could stay longer.

This is our third time staying at RedPath. My soul is called to places like this - the prairie flora and fauna, the adorable farmhouse cottage, the wind in the cottonwoods. Thank you Vickie and Steve for opening your homeplace to those who seek beauty, depth, and peace.

Everything was amazing from the beautifully built cabin, farm fresh eggs, walking paths, close enough to town, golf course, and fishing lakes but far enough away from everything else

Lovely Retreat
We have stayed here twice now; once in the winter and once in the summer. No matter the season, it's beautiful and peaceful. We went to With the Wind Winery and also visited Lake Traverse, but most of our time was spent simply relaxing on the front porch.

We had a great time away from our two very young children. Honestly we did a lot of napping, and it was a rainy weekend...but the cozy fireplace and the homey atmosphere gave some solitude. They provided great fresh eggs, filtered (reverse osmosis) water, and opportunity to use the canoe! I would go back in the future hands down.

Quaint and cozy
Relaxing and comfortable. Owners communicated well regarding directions and updated us on road conditions. Enjoyed the rustic features combined with modern amenities. The cast iron fireplace was a nice touch! We plan to visit again in a different season to hopefully experience more of the outdoor experiences.

A little hidden gem on the prairie
The cabin is lovely, with a nice mix of old and new. Loved the photo album showing its transformation from granary to guest cabin. My husband and I (and our 2 dogs) booked a long weekend that we unfortunately had to cut short due to a Winter Storm Warning. But we have already booked a return trip in July. Can't wait to be back!

Every year, our favorite place
We come every year to rest and renew in the new year to the same spot, and it is just as wonderful every single time! This time we were there on New Year’s Eve and enjoyed champagne by the fire and absolute coziness for several days! It was frigid outside and we didn’t get to explore as much as we typically do, but the property is always so inviting and welcoming and well-equipped! The owners are so friendly and easy to communicate with. We’ll be back!

Peaceful and Tidy
Everything was very nice and peaceful. We were able to check in at 10PM easily. It was an excellent weekend away. We even forgot something there, and the hosts found it and mailed it to us for free! Would stay again.
