About the host
Hosted by Barbara VanHeel
Our families have been in Minnesota for generations, since arriving from Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Liechtenstein and Great Britain. You will see some old family photos that show some Minnesota history.
Jim has been a carpenter since the age of 13 and a remodeling contractor most of his adult life. Barbara loves family history, home-schooled some of our children and is the vice president in charge of the office and all technology for our remodeling business, Van Heel Dream Builders. We have six children between us, and nine grandchildren. We are now raising one of those grandchildren. We met each other in 1st grade!
We look forward to your visit! We are excited for you to see our brand-new Cozy Retreat. We hope you will enjoy staying here as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
We love meeting and getting to know our guests. We also love to travel, with Puerto Rico being one of our favorite places to go in the winter. Other times, we like to visit friends and family in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Toronto and Utah.

Why they chose this property
We have lived in this neighborhood since 1997! It's a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, and we never want to leave. We both grew up in the area (Robbinsdale & Golden Valley), so this is home.
What makes this property unique
We love to stay in VRBO's and Airbnb's when we travel and we have used our experience as guests to up-level everything we can about our own place as hosts. We strive to be helpful, friendly and accommodating in every way we can. We are on the property, so we are available to help whenever you need us, but allow you the freedom to enjoy your own space while you are here.
