Basalt

Nestled along the ridge line sculpted by Bear Creek, Basalt Dome occupies a prime position within the secluded expanse of Sweetbriar Ridge's 56 private acres. Meandering through the heart of the property, Bear Creek, though now a gentle stream, remains a vital lifeline for the surrounding deciduous woods and pine groves. Its presence serves as a magnet for wildlife, inviting a delightful array of birds and creatures to quench their thirst and revel in the natural splendor of this serene sanctuary. Named after the distinctive rock type found in the nearby Snake River, Basalt Dome pays homage to the geological wonders that shape this picturesque landscape.

Bear Creek serves as a tribute to the historic Snake River, known as Kanabec to the Ojibwe people who traversed its waters for travel and trade. Embrace the spirit of exploration during your stay by venturing off-site and immersing yourself in the natural wonders of the area. Enhance your experience by renting one of our paddle boards and setting off to explore the pristine waters of Cross Lake, conveniently located just 5 minutes away.
