A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in – what more could [you] ask? A few flowers at the feet, and above, the stars.”
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
Ah, caring for 50+ acres of wooded/prairie/river bank land – to be given such a treasure at Dunrovin! You will find flowers among the weeds and turtles on the banks, stars shining upon you and deer nibbling at leaves. Guests love the unexpected little surprises at Dunrovin: a stand of white pines or a peninsula into the river floodplain. You can also sit by the little spring and listen to its babbling.

Rosella Garden
Named after Rosella Lynn, AFSC, who dedicated 30+ years of service to Dunrovin, the Rosella Garden quietly calls you to sit and rest a while. Three dining patio tables nestle among the perennial beds. One stone firepit and a stand-alone firepit invite you to treat yourself to a S’more or two.
Two stone benches honoring the memory of our great benefactor and Board member, Dick Olsen, seat the weary soul.
Perimeter Hiking Trail
Guests enjoy hiking the trails surrounding the Dunrovin property. Most are low-level intensity, but a few trails along the river bluff give you a good workout. The number of steps hasn’t been officially tallied but you’ll log a mile or two.
Hike year-round; snow shoes and cross-country skis available during the snowy months.
