Unfortunately, we found the property had several issues. The 65” tv was unplugged on arrival and did not work when plugged in. When the owner came to troubleshoot, he brought a 40” tv with him so I believe he knew it was not functioning. Other items included a queen bed advertised as king, smoke detectors without batteries ( in an over garage apartment), overflowing garbage and a mini split that dripped so much water that we had over an inch in a large pan that we dumped regularly. There is minimal cooking/eating utensils so plan accordingly or eat out. The neighborhood is the saving grace and backs to a great park.

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!

Comfy and quiet

The apartment above the garage was spacious, well appointed, clean and incredibly comfortable. My only complaint is with myself for not checking out what kind of mattress and pillows they had so I could get one for my home bed. Great stay

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.

Girls Weekend Getaway!!!

After having our pet sitter cancel on us at the last minute we needed to find a place that would accommodate our fur baby. We found this adorable, quaint cottage for myself, my two adult daughters, my mom and my daughter’s Australian shepherd, Faline!!! This place is spectacular, beautifully decorated, stocked with everything we needed!!! It’s also in a great location, we were there for the Renaissance Festival, and this place was a quick 20 minute drive for us to there!!! Also, our pup was a bit unsure of her new surroundings and did let our Host’s know by barking😬…our Host’s were great let us know she was upset, they us when she was done and reassured us that she was okay!!! Thank you for a great experience, highly recommend this place!!!

Getaway

Overall it was fine. We were disappointed however when we realized it was an apartment over a garage. It was presented as a cottage/cabin. The key to the apartment was not there so we couldn't lock it when we left. The deck is very small and overlooks a park but all you see is a dirt hockey rink. Met ine of the owners, she was nice. Nice apartment overall and a great bed and linens.

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.

We enjoyed the location as my husband is an avid cyclist. The balcony was a nice touch which gave us a green belt view as we live in the middle of a large city with a lot of concrete. The King bed was so comfortable. They were very responsive in communicating.
