Waterfront Cabin-Home 15 Minutes from Rochester. RARE OPPORTUNITY!
Love the outdoors but need to stay close to the city? This riverside home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful, cabin-in-the-woods lifestyle just 15 minutes from Rochester and the Mayo Clinic.
Built in the 1920s as part of a 4-unit cabin resort, this unique property sits deep in the Zumbro River Valley, far from the noise and stress of the city. With full access to the Zumbro River and Lake Zumbro just two miles downstream, every day can be an adventure — paddle, fish, kayak, or boat from your own backyard. Or take the scenic route and canoe from downtown Oronoco to your own dock in about four hours. Homes for sale along the river are truly a rare occurrence due to the fact that this is the only recreation lake within 45 miles of Rochester.
This isn’t just a weekend getaway — it’s your daily life. Spend evenings around the fire under a star-filled sky, watching deer stroll by and bald eagles soar overhead. Then be in Rochester in minutes for work, groceries, or dinner with friends.

Private access to the Zumbro River – ideal for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, boating.
