This is our second visit with this property, the Lake Waconia Retreat. When we what in, we immediately felt like we were home again as the hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Found that there were a number of thoughtful updates which made the Retreat even cozier experience. It is, overall, extremely well equipped...from the kitchen, baths and laundry. We had an eyeglass emergency and were able to find a little eyeglass repair kit that did the trick. We we will return. Thank you Gail and Andy
Lovely home in a wonderful location. The house itself was clean, the beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked.

Andrea,
Thanks so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate you picking us here at Lake Street Retreat for your stay. Please, do come back and stay with us again!
Andy & Gail😊
We loved this house! Impeccably clean, generously stocked, clearly marked household 'hints' that make staying in someone's well loved space so much easier to navigate, higher end amenities, natural light galore and I have to mention there were at least 4 ice cube size options :). This house fit our needs so well and we are now looking for another reason to come back to Waconia.

We would like to introduce ourselves. We are Andy & Gail Haering. We have been real estate agents for a long time and brought our experience into the design & set up of this home. We love traveling, decorating , gardening, bicycling and relaxing with a good book. We are cooking enthusiasts. So we set up the kitchen with cookware, utensils, dishes and small appliances to make it fun to cook. We love renting VRBOs when we travel and have put together what we would want in a home we rent in an effort to create a 5 star stay for our clients.
Why they chose this property
Waconia is a charming lake town with many fun amenities within blocks. We have comfortable beds, lots of nice kitchen equipment, super nice cookware & small appliances and well stocked supplies. Our beverage station is top notch. We have 4 fondue pots. The bathrooms have all the basics supplied. The home has soft water & great water pressure. We have a living room, family room & art studio. The home is stocked with games, books, yoga equipment, hand weights & more. Each bedroom has white noise machines & essential oil diffusers. There is a washer & dryer. We work hard to offer a very clean home for your stay.
