We had a lovely time at the Ole Mink. Everyone was so kind and nice. It was quiet and safe. The fact they are family owned shows through in everything they do! We enjoyed the pool, pickleball, corn hole, the playground, the game room and they even had an ice cream truck come through one evening. We would highly recommend! When we asked my daughter where she wanted to go on vacation next she said H... We had a lovely time at the Ole Mink. Everyone was so kind and nice. It was quiet and safe.

My dog and I love spending time at Ole Mink. It's so peaceful and the cabins are really nice and always clean and comfortable. We love being able to take walks on the property and nearby as well. There are lots of great state and national parks just a short distance away. It's often hard to believe we're only an hour (ish) from the city.

Ole Mink Farm was EXACTLY what our family needed to celebrate our son's 14th birthday. We went fishing and hiking at multiple nearby locations, but we could have easily stayed on the grounds the entire time - there was that much to do!

We especially loved their pool, the ping pong table and pickelball courts, and the option of the game room - although we didnt use it because we were too busy having fun outside! Thank you Ole Mink Farm for helping us create a lifelong memory for our family. We can't wait to come visit again!!
