Setting: Aefintyr campground is located in the hilly, wooded, blufflands of the Whitewater River Valley just north of the tiny town of Elba, MN. Views are primarily of the woods and valleys. The campground is off of a 2 lane county highway so there is some intermittent road noise. It is otherwise very peaceful and filled with the sounds of nature, including lots of birds and other wildlife.
Aefintyr is a peaceful place with chill vibes and we like to keep it that way! It is not a place for parties or rowdy groups. We like to listen to nature, not loud music or rowdy people blabbering into the night.

Treehouse Cabin in the Bluff Woodlands South

Found short notice for a quick get away. Stayed at cabin #3 and had a great time. Relaxing for a few hours underneath on the swing was wonderful. Hiked up to the top stargazing area and enjoyed some quite but had too many clouds. Enjoyed hiking at Whitewater State Park and the thunderstorm from the deck was wonderful.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful family weekend in Cabin #3! The kids especially enjoyed the hammock chairs underneath the cabin. The inside was thoughtfully designed and very comfortable, and having a mini fridge and microwave was a nice bonus. The bathrooms were very clean and convenient, too. Chelsi was very responsive and friendly - a great host. We'll definitely be back for another stay!

Cozy cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay!

Our room was spare, but inviting. There are plenty of outlets for keeping items charged. I noticed lots of little amenities like a few coffee filters available, fire tools in easy reach, pre-ordering firewood and more. Our favorite spot was the comfortable porch. The bath house is beautiful and provides nice fluffy towels. :) We really appreciated being able to relax comfortably and still have some connectivity.
Will definitely stay again.
