Kendra Hart+FollowMinnesota’s hidden floating village lifeTucked along the Mississippi near Winona, there’s a floating village where neighbors relax in cozy boathouses right on the water. These rare river homes aren’t just for storing boats—they’re weekend retreats, passed down through families and friends, and almost never up for grabs. The community, around since 1951, keeps its peaceful vibe by limiting overnight stays and pitching in together for upkeep.

Would you want to spend a weekend in a place like this? #Home #Minnesota #RiverLife00Share
