Tranquility & convenience in the countryside!

My friend & I spent a wonderful long weekend in this tranquil escape from everyday life! It was so quiet & included all of the pleasantness of being in the countryside. At the same time we were a short drive from all of the modern conveniences. Truly, it was the best of both! Betty is a delightful host, the accommodations were very clean & comfortable & met all of our needs. We are so grateful this VRBO exceeded our expectations! Thanks Betty!

Well kept beautiful country setting

Betty and Ed were wonderful hosts. The suite was Accessible, very clean with non chemical cleaners which was truly appreciated by me ❤️. Many thoughtful touches Like coffee and soap and shampoo provided. I’m a bath person and loved that there was a bath shower combo. It was comfortable and had everything a person could need. Thank you! I’ll be back

Family visit to Minnesota

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the unit. The owners were especially kind to our granddaughter, sharing their own grandchildren's motorized vehicles.

perfect retreat after a busy day out seeing the Cottage Grove-Hastings area.

This is my second stay at this property. I love the layout of the apartment, ample room to use the kitchen area and still cozy but not crowded. There are windows on three sides and the view of the surrounding woods and farm yard is restful to me. Gravel road and longish driveway gives one the feeling of seclusion, but it isn't really isolated. I hope to go there again.

Country paradise

My sister and I traveled to Hastings for our sister's memorial service. Our host Betty was incredibly kind, the cozy space was immaculate, it was quiet and peaceful, just what we needed. Wonderful host and space! Even a washer and dryer so we could do a little laundry before we headed back from an emotionally draining trip. Each night my sister and I told each other how glad I chose this place. Easy access, it's all good at Betty's. Thank you for everything Betty, your kindness and hospitality will not be forgotten anytime soon. ♡

Very Nice

We enjoyed our stay! Loved being in the country setting! Enjoyed visiting the chickens and sheep several times during our stay. Betty was very accommodating during our stay. I would suggest changing out the loveseat for a couple of comfortable chairs. But otherwise we really loved it!

Rural, restful, and natural beauty all around.

My sister and I stayed there three nights. There was a lovely scenic drive every time we came and went. It was quiet at night to sleep. The efficiency was attractive, cozy and clean and met all our needs. The hostess, Betty, was friendly and helpful. I would like to have a reason to stay there again.

Great Ski Location

This property was perfect for a quick trip to ski with my teens. We adjusted our arrival time and the host was great about understanding and accommodating our travel plan changes. The space was welcoming and quiet. Location to both restaurants and Afton Alps slopes was quick.

Simply Awesome!

Excellent accommodations with plenty of room for three adults. Super easy parking for my 20' fishing boat. Close access to both the St.Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Neat, clean and very functional rental. Will definitely be back!

Serene Wooded Setting

Peaceful, quiet and safe setting, surrounded by beautiful trees. Wonderful place to return to each evening after hectic, busy days. Our hosts were perfect. Very welcoming, quick to respond to questions but never intrusive. Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful Setting

Large, one room that contained a great kitchen/dining table and three beds. It’s in a rural setting with relatively quiet, safe roads for running. The only issue we had was that the owner’s young grandchildren were visiting and using the bedrooms above us as well as driving small ATV-type vehicles all around our area. The running back and forth upstairs was disappointing as we are very light sleepers and specifically chose the property because of its rural setting and we figured it would be quiet. Other than that, the owner was wonderful and we’d definitely book another stay.

Just what the doctor ordered!

I could not rate Betty and Ed’s place any higher! From the spotless lodgings to the serene and idealic setting with organic gardens, chickens and sheep, to the incredibly welcoming and warm hosts...we were blessed to be there! It was perfect. 😊
