Lovers Lookout 1: Where Rustic Meets Luxury at Big Rock Creek

Escape. Unplug. Reconnect — in style.

Love the idea of camping, but prefer the comforts of a cozy bed, electricity, and Wi-Fi? Welcome to Lovers Lookout 1 at Big Rock Creek — your glamping getaway on a 980-acre private estate just 45 minutes from the Twin Cities.

Your fully set-up canvas tent comes with everything you need to unwind in nature without sacrificing comfort. Nestled near our serene private lake, you’ll have free access to kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, paddleboats, and our lake swim raft — perfect for long summer days of adventure and relaxation. Prefer to stay dry? Cast a line — our lake is stocked with trout, and fly rods are available for rent!

Big Rock Creek offers so much more than a place to sleep — it’s an outdoor adventure hub. Explore 20+ miles of private hiking and biking trails, enjoy scenic picnic spots, or cruise the grounds in comfort with a golf cart or Polaris Ranger rental.

This summer, on-site guests also enjoy:

FREE access to our electric sauna and cold plunge experience

FREE bounce houses for the kids

Fly fishing in the creek

Foraging hikes and mushroom hunts

Bike rentals and guided trail rides

Seasonal events, live music, and special classes

We host a variety of exciting events throughout the year, including weddings, festivals, and retreats. You can view our full event calendar on our website.

Whether it’s a romantic weekend, a solo escape, or your new summer tradition — Lovers Lookout 1 is where nature meets comfort, and every stay is packed with unforgettable moments.
