The Afton Lodge is a four-level architectural masterpiece set on a private, wooded lot just two minutes from Afton Alps ski hill. Designed for groups up to 14, this one-of-a-kind timber frame estate blends resort-level amenities with warm, intentional design at every turn. There is nothing else like it in Minnesota.
The Great Room & Main Living
Step through the front door and into one of the most jaw-dropping rooms you've ever seen. Soaring 30-foot timber frame ceilings, 125+ windows flooding the space with natural light, and a massive river rock fireplace anchor the main living area. A hand-crafted rope-suspended daybed hangs from the rafters alongside statement chandeliers, leather seating, and views of the surrounding woods in every direction. The Afton Lodge neon sign glows softly from the wall — this space sets the tone for everything that follows.
The Chef's Kitchen
Adjacent to the great room, the chef's kitchen is built to feed a crowd in style. A massive quartz waterfall island with seating for six, professional-grade stainless appliances, double ovens, full-size fridge, gas cooktop, and gold-accented fixtures throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the wooded landscape and the open layout keeps the cook part of the party.
Dining
The dedicated dining room seats the entire group at two large tables under dramatic chandelier lighting, anchored by a soaring river rock fireplace. Designed for long dinners and lasting memories.
Entertainment
The main floor also features a custom pool table — a natural gathering spot between meals. A separate lounge with a large flat screen and timber ceilings offers a quieter space to decompress after a day on the slopes.
The Bedrooms — Seven Distinct Retreats
Every bedroom at The Afton Lodge was designed with intention — no two are alike.
Top Floor
Primary Suite — The crown jewel. Exposed timber cathedral ceilings, antler chandelier, floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace, sitting area, walk-in closet, and en suite bath. A true sanctuary.
Bedroom 2 — Queen bed with timber beam ceilings, wooded views, large smart TV, and crisp white linens. Light, clean, and quietly elegant.
Bedroom 3 — King bed with sleek platform frame, built-in backlit headboard, floor-to-ceiling charcoal velvet drapes, leather bench, and a dedicated workspace. Cool, contemporary, and magazine-worthy under warm timber ceilings.
Bedroom 4 — Queen bed wrapped in sheer floor-to-ceiling drapery, warm timber cathedral ceilings, a sculptural boucle ottoman, and a stunning large-format art piece lit from above. Airy, serene, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Main Floor
Bedroom 5 — King bed, warm timber beam ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows with wooded views, smart TV, boutique-style dresser, and en suite bath. Clean, calm, and beautifully appointed — with direct access to the pool level just steps away.
Lower Level
Bedroom 6 — King platform bed, sofa, and smart TV. A comfortable and well-appointed retreat.
Bedroom 7 (The Brown Room) — Full bed, custom oversized upholstered headboard, rich moody tones, and cozy lounge chair. A designer's touch in every corner.
Also on the lower level: a fully equipped second kitchen and the full arcade game room loaded with Snocross simulators, pinball machines, and classic arcade cabinets under custom neon hex lighting.
The Pool Level
The lowest floor is where The Afton Lodge truly separates itself. A private indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna are yours around the clock — your own personal escape regardless of season. Sliding doors open directly to a brand new patio with outdoor seating, perfect for cool Minnesota evenings after a long soak.
The Location
Two minutes to Afton Alps. 35 minutes to the Twin Cities. Tucked into the wooded bluffs of the Saint Croix River Valley, The Afton Lodge offers complete privacy without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're here for ski weekends, summer gatherings, holiday celebrations, or milestone events — this is the place.
