Bobby’s Cabin – View Pictures>>
Uncle Buck’s Cabin – View Pictures>>
Gerald’s Cabin- View Pictures>>
(See below for history behind the names of each cabin.)

These four cabins are located close to each other. Gerald’s Cabin and Aunt Bert’s Cabin are next to each other. Uncle Buck’s cabin and Bobby’s Cabin are next to each other and within short walking distance to the other cabins. All four of these luxury cabins are located right across the road from our Original and Prairie Ridge Lodges.

Whether you are looking for a honeymoon cabin or a cabin for your anniversary, these getaway cabins are perfect for your romantic destination. Curl up on the couch and enjoy the cozy fireplace, soak in the heart shaped two person hot tub, relax on the ultra-comfy king sized bed, take in nature and enjoy the outdoors on your private deck, or watch the stars and share stories as you sit around your own camp fire.

These private cabins have a two-night minimum stay on weekends, but you will want to spend more than just two nights and enjoy a long three-day weekend or seven-day vacation. Following are the special cabin rates for 1-2 people:

Rates & Reservations

The name for each cabin was thought about with care and love.

Gerald’s Cabin – Gerald Shonhart was the builder of our three main lodges. We promised Gerald when we/he built our private cabins, the first one would be named after him. Unfortunately, Gerald passed away several months before we began construction but his legacy of what he built here will live forever.

Aunt Bert’s Cabin – Bertha Harpole is Gary Harpole’s late grandmother. Her friends and family called her Aunt Bert for short. When the resort began, Bertha made scrapbooks for Gary, and he enjoyed many homemade meals at her house while visiting her.

Uncle Buck’s Cabin – Earnest Pruett is Gary Harpole’s late grandfather on his mother’s side. His friends and family called him Uncle Buck. Heartland is located next to the farm where Earnest raised his family. This farm is what helped inspire Gary to build Heartland as he always enjoyed visiting this beautiful country and he knew others would as well.

Bobby’s Cabin – Bobby Pruett is Gary Harpole’s late uncle that he never had the pleasure of meeting. When Bobby was a very young boy, something spooked his trusted horse on his way to school. Bobby did not survive the accident.
