Uncle Tom's Cabin

Uncle Tom's cabin was named after Tom Nelson, whose wife, Karen, generously donated the cabin and 60 acres surrounding it after he passed away. Many friends and family called him Uncle Tom, which is where the cabin got its name.

This beautiful, river-side cabin is a one-of-a kind experience. Along with an outstanding view, you have 1.5 miles of trails right behind the cabin! There are 2 ponds as well, perfect for fishing. In the winter, enjoy the groomed cross country ski trails! River Road Conservation Area is also 60 acres of prime hunting.

Uncle Tom's rents for $125/night, with a 2 night minimum.

This facility is pet friendly with an extra $25/reservation! Please read through the rental contract to understand the pet rules.
