Stay at Sweet Retreat

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The home is very clean and orderly and works well for 10 guests. When a small appliance was not working correctly, the owners immediately got us a replacement.

Terrific Stay

We stayed at this house when we were visiting family nearby. It was a great fit and accommodated us (4 adults and 4 kids) easily. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The setting of the property was lovely with trees and ponds. We enjoyed having quick access to the paved trail at the edge of the property. We would definitely book this house again.

Great House while visiting Luverne area

Nice house, kept very clean with large family room for gathering after dinner. Situated in a campsite type atmosphere, we had access to all sorts of outdoor activiites including a nice walking trail and a pond and stream on the property or nearby. We had a minor issue at the house which the owners took care of immediately. Overall, we had a great stay at the house.

Peaceful & Comfortable

My family stayed at this lovely home and enjoyed the ample space, beautiful setting, perfect location near town. There is a park less than a mile away, as well as an excellent brewery and restaurant options in the main street of town just a bit beyond the park. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of towels for the whole group. There’s also a very cool story behind the house itself, which was a fun discovery. Will look to stay here again the next time we find our way to Luverne!

Had a blast!

The house was clean and spacious, plenty of room for everyone. Hosts were amazing making sure we got settled in and bringing over a life jacket so the little one could go down to the water. Close to town but still peaceful.

Great place to stay while visiting local family.

We tried this house out for our stay to visit family over Christmas. The listing was accurate and the home was clean. Communication with Missy was easy and she was very responsive. The home was spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 5. The kids loved that they had room to play rather than being confined to a small hotel room. There were a few games which the kids tried to enjoy but they were mostly for older kids and adults. The beds were comfortable. We didn't spend a lot of time at the house as we were out visiting family so we didn't use the kitchen much but there were all of the essentials including dishes, salt and pepper, sugar, vegetable oil, paper towels and napkins. The only complaint about the location was the bus parked in the campsite immediately adjacent to the house. It appears that this is a permanent resident living in the old bus. They kept to themselves and were quiet. We would stay here again in the future.

Pheasant hunt

Property definitely needs some improvement. When we got to the property it smelled like someone tried to cover up the smell of the house by using a strong cleaner a wall plug-ins. The next door “neighbor” was parked next door in his old bus that was converted to a motor home. There was a RV a few places down that had moss growing all over it. It looked abandoned. The property is located in a campground that is not very well kept. The bedroom I slept in didn’t have a curtain or shades for the window. They left a blanket to put over the window as a curtain. Not what I would expect from any place that is being rented out. It would have been nice for you to leave some basic things like, salt,pepper and paper towels. I was going to use the grill but it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. Disgusting. We had to scrub the fry pan because food was still on it. There is no WiFi. Something that should be provided.
