WELCOME TO LINN CROFT Hospitality

Private, All-inclusive Stays, Designed for Connection & Respite

Welcome to Linn Croft, a 4th generation working grain farm and home to our beautiful, private retreat, featuring two Nordic-inspired accommodations and a commercial kitchen. Offering all-inclusive weekend packages for up to 8 guests, our curated experience stays will give you what you need to slow down, reset and refresh, while making memories that will last a lifetime. 


The cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality will allow you to exhale and nestle into your custom-built experience. The restful suites, dark night skies and 360-degree views, provide the perfect backdrop for a truly unique weekend stay.

FARM TO TABLE CULLINARY

Authentic, farm to table chef-prepared meals, made from ingredients harvested from our own micro gardens and farm ground and sourced from local farmers and growers. Enjoy time in the Li'l Kitchen, watching demonstrations or enjoying our breakfast smörgåsbord.


You'll enjoy dishes seasonally prepared with ingredients and preserves from our family farm ground and micro gardens. 

THE EXPERIENCE

Bask in the privacy of a total buy-out of the property, reset in the custom-built sauna, immerse yourself in curated activities like a guided game night, stargazing with telescopes, storytelling & folktales. Do Culinary or Night Sky photography classes capture your interest? We've got you covered. 


Whether you're looking for a unique farm stay, an exceptional place to connect with the significant people in your life or just a much-needed break from screens, we're waiting to make your visit extraordinary.

ONE LI'L KITCHEN AT LINN CROFT

The Little Kitchen

All of my grandparents on both sides of my family, were restaurant owners. Nothing fancy, just fresh, well-prepared food and excellent customer service. My grandfather earned his skills in the Army during WWII when he served as a Kitchen Supervisor in France, where they served 3000 troops three meals a day.


My grandparents had a way with people, knew their way around a kitchen and stood behind what they served. I am blessed to have grown up watching them. There is something about catering for guests that is deeply satisfying.


Since childhood I have dreamed of having my own "restaurant kitchen." In 2025 we completed a commercial catering kitchen at our farm that will soon become an integral part of our ability to offer custom menus and authentic dishes for our curated experiences.
