"Roughing It" At Red Cedar - NOT!
Wow - the perfect home to have our reunion - a beautiful,large living room for conversation, kitchen and dining room to savor meals and drinks, a deck to appreciate the lake and nature and enough beds to have a great sleep. There were so many other amenties that we didn't have time to appreciate - next time!

Relax, Kick Back, and Have Fun!
This is a gorgeous property that easily held 9 adults - with room for more. It's spacious with lots to do, plus it's near many fun activities and restaurants, but has a quiet feel to it. Stacy was amazing to work with - seriously one of the best VRBO hosts that I've ever had. We would definitely go back again!

Jaw dropping Property
Everything was perfect from start to finish. Stacy made it say easy and even came and introduced herself and told us a little about the home. I loved this as no one ever does that. We didn't use outside as it was cold out but a lovely view and fir our group of 12 wonderful and not on top of one another.

Fantastic location
We had 10 people staying and this house was perfect. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful location. The inside was beautifully decorated. There was so much to do at the house activities-wise, that we didn't find ourselves leaving very often other than for food. I would highly recommend!!

Fabulous Wedding Weekend!
Our daughter got married the weekend we stayed at this lovely home. We could not have been more comfortable. Great spaces for gathering with some out of town guests for breakfast the morning after the wedding. Your home will always be part of our memories of a wonderful celebration in the Chaska/Victoria/Chanhassen area.

Wonderful retreat location
We used this property for an off-site work retreat, and it was perfect! Great space for co-working, but also enough room to break out when we needed individual time. Beautiful setting and all the amenities we needed (and then some!). We hope to be back again!
