Our VRBO and BnB 

The “Villa” our VRBO and BnB at Little Moran Creek is a beautifully done old farm house with the original field stone foundation. As with many older farm houses it was in need of some TLC, and after so many families, reunions, bachelor and bachelorette parties their comments gave reason for the new amenities.

The new facelift entails a new roof, windows, furnace and AC, all noteworthy improvements. The “Villa” is available for guests beginning in early April and ending September 1st due to our fall of “hunters” which is the hub of business at Little Moran. It has 6 bedrooms, 5 baths, a full kitchen and laundry. Amenities include wi-fi, streaming TV, pots, pans kitchen utensils, wood burning fire place, fire-pit and bbq grills both charcoal and propane. Reservations are needed and can be scheduled here at littlemorancreek@gmail.com or by phone listed on our Contact page. Here too, you will find directions and the address for Little Moran Creek.

The original 40 acres is a “Century farm” which was homesteaded by our family on June 14th 1902. Today we manage 160 acres of mixed hardwood, and old growth fields to regrow as nature intended. We keep 3-4 miles of hiking ang biking trails groomed and cared for the wind throughout the property.

Little Moran is named after the stream that winds through the farm for almost a mile and runs into Moran Creek a few miles to the east. Spring time is like a rebirth along the creek, high water, small rapids where fish, wood ducks and other wildlife call home. The photography opportunities are endless.

Into the forest I go to loose my mind and find my soul…Little Moran Creek is that place!

Locally there is much to offer. The Crow Wing River serene and mellow is only 9 miles from the lodge offers beautiful canoeing and tubing day trips. It is a short drive 30-40 minute drive to the Brainerd Lakes area east of the farm it is known as the “vacation hot spot” in Minnesota. Hundreds of lakes, great dining, shopping and some of the best golf courses in the Mid-west, howefer if its to getaway and kickback with a favorite beverage, a game of corn hole or bucket golf, you wont have to leave the farm, just stay and play!

Numerous  golf courses, Amish goods, flea markets and lots of local lakes for those who fish or want to boat. Wonderful photography opportunities of wildlife and landscapes, it is all here.

Privacy is important and you will find that here. Long romantic walks on groomed trails, private picnic area’s alongside Little Moran Creek, we have picnic baskets ready for you, a bottle of wine and Voila! The forest can be a magical place for those who embrace it.
