Nice and cozy and great view of the lake! It was a perfect location for us. Enjoyed walking the dog around the lake path so close to the park. The kitchen and bathroom were really nice. Beds were comfortable although they are low to the ground, so for some people that might be an issue “knees” overall we loved it!

We had a fantastic stay at **The Nest on Lake Johanna** and wouldn't hesitate to book it again the next time we're in the Twin Cities.The house was clean, comfortable, and nicely updated, with everything we needed for a great vacation. Our favorite spot was the balcony overlooking the lake. We started most mornings there with a cup of coffee and ended many evenings relaxing while enjoying the peaceful view.The location was perfect for us. The nearby park has a nice beach and several hiking trails that we really enjoyed exploring. One of the best parts of our stay, though, was all of the wildlife. We saw a variety of birds and other animals, but the bald eagles stole the show. We were lucky enough to watch a mother and her juvenile almost every day as they flew over the lake and dove down to catch fish. It was an amazing experience and something we'll always remember.We also traveled with our two dogs, and the small fenced yard was a huge bonus. It gave them a safe place to get outside and made the stay even more enjoyable for all of us.Overall, this is one of the best vacation rentals we've stayed in. It was quiet, relaxing, and in a beautiful setting, yet still close to everything we wanted to do around the Twin Cities. We'd definitely recommend The Nest to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, and we hope to stay here again in the future.

Thank you for such a wonderful review, Chris! So glad you enjoyed the wildlife attracted to Lake Johanna. One of the unique aspects of this property is the convenient location within the Twin Cities, with the feeling that you're much further away from the hustle and bustle. Cheers to a good balcony view, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

Our stay was great. The view was wonderful! It was nice to have a fenced-in yard for our dog to sniff around. Pictures and description from the listing are accurate. We didn't have any kitchen towels, but I sent a message, and they dropped them off at the house the same day. Certainly will stay again.
