Great location! Host responded quickly to questions prior to arrival and during out stay. The booking description indicated a king bed, however upon arrival we found it was a queen bed, which was disappointing. There was not enough ground coffee left from the previous guest to make a full pot of coffee.

Easy to access, good location. Quiet and peaceful. The property was not as clean (spider webs, hair, dust) as we hoped. Instructions for check in and check out could be expanded and more detailed.

The cabin is exactly as shown, but the details made all of the difference.There was never a shortage of hot water, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the view of a park from the deck was wonderful. We were lucky enough to see a deer, a rabbit and some very cute squirrels during our stay.Loved the entire area and the location is extremely close to everything we wanted to do.We would love to stay there again if the cabin is available on our next trip to Minnesota!

The area and cabin are quiet and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Overall the place was clean and tidy. We had some minor issues (turntable missing from microwave, no dish towels, stove top was dirty). We enjoyed our stay and the cabin worked perfect for our needs.

Lovely location, cute cottage, comforts of home

Check-in was super simple, the location is great, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. The cottage is stocked with the basics. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had the basics to cook while staying there. While we were missing an item, the owner/host was able to respond and provide it in a timely manner. I would stay here again.

Very nice place. Quiet for sure!

Really nice stay. Only suggestions would be that it needs a light outside garage to see in dark. Could have been a bit cleaner. A bit uneasy about the loose tiles in the bathroom. A little bit of small fixes and this will be an exceptional place!

Wonderful stay in upstairs rental. Nice cabin style decorating, comfortable king bed. Enjoyed the balcony with view of park. The nearby park is a great place to walk the dog. Only drawback for us (aged 65+) is getting ourselves and luggage up the stairs.

Cabin near the Lake

This is our 4th stay. The space is bright, well stocked and well-furnished. The king bed is very comfortable. We love the view from kitchen window and the deck with view of trees. The location is great, for walking and short walk to nice swim area, with lots of restaurant options near by. Highly recommended rental and great hosts.
