Wonderful

Had a great time property is close to Mall of America and The U. My son is deciding on where to attend college and was a great location to bring the family (myself, husband, younger brother and dogs)
We had a good trip. The interior was quite clean. The surrounding yard and plants could've used some TLC to gain a greater view of the lake and to enable our small children to use the yard space.
We loved our stay here and would come back in a heartbeat. Everything was clean and labeled well, there was ample space for our group, and the lake is so close by! Exactly as listed.

Why they chose this property
We live nearby and always though it would be good to redevelop this site. We acquired the property in late 2021 and decided to see if others would enjoy it as a short-term rental.
What makes this property unique
The view and location next to the lake and park are remarkable year-round.
