About this property

Country Living Getaway at Josie's Guest House

Welcome to Josie's at Ibling's Family Farm. This updated home is situated in Brownsdale, MN located on a family farm site that has been in our family for more than 100 years. Named Josie's after my mother who resided there. This location provides a beautiful venue for families, couples retreats, and girls weekends.
We are 90 minutes south of the Twin Cities just off Hwy 56. We are less than 45 minutes away from Rochester, MN home of the renowned Mayo Clinic.
In today's hectic busy world, let this be your escape from the daily grind and a place to recharge your batteries. Relax and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. You can experience that top of the world feeling in the meadows of brilliantly colored wildflowers with Minnesota wildlife.
Enjoy the walking trails or the breathtaking views from the deck. You can go out and explore all that nature has to offer. Have a morning cup of coffee on the beautiful wrap around porch.
This house is perfect to bring the whole family! Parents can enjoy the upstairs level with complete kitchen while the kids enjoy the downstairs level of the home that is more catered to them. This home is ideal for family time or for girls night out, romantic retreats, business travel, bridal/baby showers or other small events. There couldn't be a more perfect spot for your unique gathering. You are welcome at Josie's!

Extended family of 7 stay
Kitchens worked out wonderfully. Having a living area upstairs asked us to keep the main floor quiet during nap times. Outdoor games were used in garage so we could be out of the wind during a chilly November weekend but still let little ones run around. The house is close to a busy, great speed road right outside of town, but she's have a fenced area in the back. Tables are all counter height, a little challenge for younger eaters! House was fine, and our experience together was priceless.
