Sit by your campfire and enjoy the beautiful, peaceful country setting.

We are the perfect place for your vacation away from the city! Our lush, green grass feels great underfoot, while playing a round of Frisbee golf, game of badminton or volleyball, while the children play in the playground.

Or perhaps a dip in the pool is the therapy you need. For groups, we provide a meeting room that is air conditioned and heated. We are where fond memories are made, laughter is heard and friends are found.

Mayo Clinic

The Mayo Clinic legacy began with Dr. William Worrall Mayo. Dr. W.W. Mayo came to America from England in 1846, and initially settled in Le Sueur, Minnesota. When he was appointed examining surgeon of the Union Army draft enrollment board for the southern half of Minnesota, he originally left his family behind in Le Sueur, MN to report to the board's headquarters in Rochester. Dr. W.W. Mayo decided he liked the town and moved his family to Rochester in 1864. Dr. Mayo was 44 years old when he settled in Rochester with his wife Louise; his three daughters; and his first son, William James. The Mayo's second son, Charles, was born in 1865, right at the end of the Civil War.
