A Good Stay
Our stay this time was a little bit of a struggle, due to frozen and burst pipes! In addition, the dishwasher hadn't been emptied from the last renters, and the oven had not been cleaned in quite awhile. However, Alex, the owner, was extremely responsive, as always, and we certainly will return for future visits.

Perfect place near everything
We arrived late at night but the host left lights on for us which was great. The house is older but very cozy and had all of the amenities we needed. The location is convenient to all of the activities we had planned: Viking football, Twins baseball and the MIA. We also hiked around the falls. If we had more free time we would have enjoyed the property outdoors. The gardens were amazing and the chickens roaming around was delightful. Thanks for a super getaway.

Enjoyed our stay
The home was difficult to find. The parkway is very overgrown and finding the front of the house was not easy. It also wasn't easy to walk thru all the vegetation trying to get to the front door. The home was clean and comfortable. It is stocked with all the amenities you may need. The beds were not all that comfortable but it was fine for the short visit we were there for.

Fabulous place and host!
This house was perfect for our family, including three young children. Host Alex was incredibly kind and helpful, bringing us a new coffee maker at 545 AM when ours didn't work, and letting our kids give the chickens some treats. House is full of lovely art and garden is beautiful.

A Wonderful Stay, Again
We've stayed here many times before, and again, it was a wonderful stay. Alex is a great owner/neighbor, his chickens in the backyard are a great entertainment for our granddaughters, and the recent upgrades were wonderful as well. We'll definitely be back again!
