Great house with room to spread out
This house was a fantastic find. We had figured it would be more space than our family of four would need, but as it turned out we loved having the space to spread out so comfortably, with lots of cozy nooks. The house was immaculate, well furnished with modern decor, and well equipped with everything we needed. And the location can’t be beat, walkable to fantastic shops and restaurants, parks and of course the lake. Highly recommend.

Very Nice Property
Very nice property - clean, well equipped and in very nice neighborhood. Ben, the host, was very responsive during our stay to a couple of questions. The property is on a relatively busy street and is on a flight path for MSP. While sitting on the front porch was noisy, the inside of the house was relatively quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at the property again.

Cozy home
Host was easy to get ahold of whenever we needed to. House was very cozy and had everything we needed. Did an excellent job with cleaning up the snow before we got there. Even surprised us with a bottle of wine. We will definitely stay here again when we come back.

Such a charming place!
I absolutely love this property! It has so much character and charm. Ben is super responsive -- I think he responded in a minute after I hit 'send.' The house is a couple blocks from Lake Harriet and all kinds of dining -- definitely try Rosalia, I may still be recovering from their drinks! The master bedroom has a King bed - there are two full tv rooms. And there's a shower here that is HGTV-worthy, and something I want in my home! My only regret: That my trip was so short. Definitely coming back!
