Eric and Aspen’s home was AMAZING! There was plenty of space for our family vacation - we just wish we had more time to take advantage of the movie room and pool table in the finished basement. Check in and out were super easy. The house was immaculately cleaned and well stocked with linens, towels and kitchen supplies. The back deck and grills (yes, multiple!) were great for family dinner. The location of the house was good for us as we wanted to explore both Minneapolis and Duluth. Eric and Aspen were so kind and checked in to make sure we were enjoying the stay. Highly highly recommend this home!

This house was awesome! It is beautiful, clean and has everything you need. Beautiful setting too, very rural and right near a wonderful State Park (Wild River SP.) Eric and Aspen were truly great hosts, made sure we were comfortable and made sure we could contact them easily if we needed anything. Great place for a group and/or family. Huge yard, big deck. 4 different types of grills!! We’re hoping to go back in the Fall and/or Winter, because the Fall Colors will be amazing and between Wild River SP and nearby InterState SP, miles of trails for snowshoeing or CC Skiing (and if no snow, just good old winter walks.) Go to the Franconia Sculpture Garden too, quirky and fun. Great recommendations for things to do and places to eat too. Highly recommend this property and look forward to visiting again.

great secret location

This location was very nice, about 10-15 minutes away from the cities but far enough in the country for peace & quiet. There is a deck currently being built which will be a great addition to watch sunsets or sun raises. Due to the weather we were not able to find the garden, pool, or trails but had plenty to do with other items offered. We even ended up with bad weather & were checked in on the next day.

Away from it all

Very nice spot away from everything. Wonderful to be able to have all four of our dogs. There's room for everyone and basement with "theater" room, bar and pool. Tons of games. Great communication with the host. Toobuggy to use pool but looked inviting. Jakes on the Lakes is less than 30 minutes away and has delicious food. Made for a great family weekend!

Secluded little getaway

Nice quiet location thats close to fun family attractions. House is big enough for plenty of family without being on top of each other. The yard is huge! We saw several deer in the area on a daily basis. There is a state park down the road. Board games & a few kid toys in the bedroom. Pool outside. House is beautiful! The host is very responsive and willing to help with all needs. Highly recommend staying at this house.

Large property, good for groups

Quiet, well appointed property in private setting. Stayed here with a group of eight 50-something friends for a golf, poker, and screw around weekend. Enjoyed a nice meal at the rental, which was fairly easy in the kitchen that had most every thing we needed for prep. The property is a bit rural, but we discovered The Northern in Chisago Lakes and the Muddy Cow in North Branch, which were within about 20—25 minutes and each had good food. We enjoyed the expansive grounds, had a bonfire, and played some yard games that we brought with us. It was nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors and not have to worry about disturbing neighbors when we got a little loud. We had great communication with Eric, our host, who was happy to answer any questions via text and got on the phone, when something required a more specific explanation. Check out was a breeze, which was nice when the weekend concluded!
