Absolutely Stunning & Great for Large groups

This stay was so unique, beautiful, and comfortable for our large group. It had everything we needed and was super clean. I highly recommend this place. Even though it was residential there was so much privacy, it was quiet and felt very safe. We loved it!

Perfect Retreat in the City!

This place is amazing and had everything we could ask for! The house is beautifully designed, the host is so responsive and helpful, the kitchen is a dream, and the pool is the perfect space to hangout for the day (or night)! Also, the fact that it's within 10-20 minutes of the airport, St. Paul, and Minneapolis is a huge win!

Excellent location to MSP airport

We had a great stay! Just a few minutes from the airport, plenty of space, and very comfortable. Owners respond timely, and check in process was easy. We used the house for a non-profit board retreat. Couldn't be happier with how it worked out.

So impressed! There is so much charm and character in this home and the updates that have been made add so much unique personality to the space, both inside and out. It created such a wonderful vibe for me and my girlfriends to hangout for the weekend . The pool is incredible. Would definitely recommend this house to any and everyone.

The entire property was immaculate. You'd never know it was a lived in home if it weren't for the stocked cupboards/fridge (and the super adorable nerf gun wall). We all joked about needing the homeowner to come decorate our houses. John was wonderful with communicating everything we'd need for our stay. We had the answers to any question before we had to ask. The cherry on top of the outside space was the adorable and lovey outdoor kitty. Our only complaint for the entire stay was the uncooperative weather. Even that didn't stand in the way of using the pool, though. It's heated to the perfect temperature. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. Thank you even more for being open to bachelorette celebrations.

Gorgeous boho vibe home

The decor and greenery in this home blew us away. Every room was detailed out beautifully. John was so quick to respond to our questions while at the house, which made for a great experience with the hosts. Although we weren’t able to stay when the pool was open, my group is sure to come stay again when we can use the pool. Lovely stay!

Fantastic destination rental

This is hands down one of the BEST rentals available in the metro area. It is conveniently located a few minutes away from the Mall of America and the Airport which was great for our out of town guests that wanted to get in a quick shopping trip. The space is beautifully decorated and furnished and felt stylish and cozy. All of our guests commented on how lovely and lush the home felt. There is a ton of space both indoors and outdoors for guests to spread out. The backyard was really incredible and expansive. You felt like you were on your own private and secluded lot. We spent most of our weekend outdoors enjoying the beautiful view, chatting on the many decks, playing in the pool and roasting s'mores in the fire pit! John was very responsive and answered all of my questions. This truly felt like a destination rental and nobody wanted to leave. I would highly recommend to anyone!! So glad we found this gem.

Nice large home for gatherings

We used the home to host a small group for a COVID time wedding for my daughter. It turned out very nice. I would recommend this property to anyone that needs to have a small gathering and needs a place that can comfortably accommodate around 10 overnight guests.

We stayed the weekend for a bachelorette and loved it! Agree with previous review that you hardly need any decor as the place is decked out. Yard and deck were spacious. Easy check in and out process. Kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, pots, pans, we needed for meal prep and serving.

Perfect location for an intimate wedding

My wife and I could not have been happier with the property. We had to significantly downsize our wedding and this property was exactly what we were looking for. The house is very nicely decorated and made a great backdrop for all of our wedding photos. The patio and large outdoor space also made for a perfect location for our small wedding ceremony and reception. John was an extremely helpful and responsive host, answering all of our last minute questions in a timely fashion. Overall, we would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a super cute house, on a large property but still within easy access of everything that the Twin Cities has to offer.
