Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Don Hansen & Sydney Paredes (husband & wife)
Don & Sydney have lived in Taylors Falls many years and 4 years ago purchased the house next door, remodeled and improved it, and listed in on Airbnb. In 2021 they added "Maple House" to VRBO so others might benefit from a stay at this lovely spacious home in the village of Taylors Falls. Don is retired from the USGS (hydrologist) and Sydney continues her work as an executive coach. Because they are next door, Don & Sydney can be very responsive to guests' needs and love to meet people who come for gatherings in the St. Croix River Valley. They have a maple syrup operation at their home so in spring you'll see buckets on trees and can smell the wonderful maple syrup smell. They gift a small bottle of pure maple syrup to guests and syrup is available for sale. All funds go to two local Lutheran youth groups who help sap and sell the syrup. Sydney is a avid traveler and has stayed at vacation rentals around the world and knows from first-hand experience what guests need and want. They both love to meet guests AND will never invade your privacy.
Why they chose this property
Great location in village of Taylors Falls, off the beaten path for quiet and privacy and very close to the villages, the river, Wild Mountain & Trollhaugen, wineries, the National Park, two state parks, lakes and rivers. Fun shopping & sightseeing and Turtle Lake Casino just 30 minutes away. Nice walks and hiking trails nearby and a children's playground across the street.
What makes this property unique
Gathering space for large groups and families that also allows for individual retreat spaces and privacy with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and several outdoor and indoor spaces to hang out. The "great room" is huge and well-named.... guests enter the room and say, "This is a GREAT room!". That we can accommodate up to 9 cars parked off street is also a plus when families and groups gather together from different locations.
