This was the perfect place for our little getaway. The cabin is cozy with just enough space for two people to be completely comfortable. The bed was super comfy, and we loved curling up on the couch to watch TV as well. Nice location with lots to do in the immediate area. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location! Host responded quickly to questions prior to arrival and during out stay. The booking description indicated a king bed, however upon arrival we found it was a queen bed, which was disappointing. There was not enough ground coffee left from the previous guest to make a full pot of coffee.

The cabin is exactly as shown, but the details made all of the difference.There was never a shortage of hot water, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the view of a park from the deck was wonderful. We were lucky enough to see a deer, a rabbit and some very cute squirrels during our stay.Loved the entire area and the location is extremely close to everything we wanted to do.We would love to stay there again if the cabin is available on our next trip to Minnesota!

The area and cabin are quiet and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Overall the place was clean and tidy. We had some minor issues (turntable missing from microwave, no dish towels, stove top was dirty). We enjoyed our stay and the cabin worked perfect for our needs.

Lovely location, cute cottage, comforts of home

Check-in was super simple, the location is great, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. The cottage is stocked with the basics. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had the basics to cook while staying there. While we were missing an item, the owner/host was able to respond and provide it in a timely manner. I would stay here again.

Very nice place. Quiet for sure!

Really nice stay. Only suggestions would be that it needs a light outside garage to see in dark. Could have been a bit cleaner. A bit uneasy about the loose tiles in the bathroom. A little bit of small fixes and this will be an exceptional place!
