This is a beautiful antique home in a great area. So clean! A walk across the street brings you to a park where you can take a leisurely walk around the pond or let the kids play in the playground. The home is updated yet has retained its period details like columns and woodwork - gorgeous! The owners were gracious and easy to work with, answering all questions promptly and leaving games and puzzles for use. The neighborhood has several different food options, and the kitchen is fully equipped if you prefer to cook.Would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and Clean Home

Enjoyed our time at this home. Kids enjoyed exploring, and we all enjoyed playing the games and Amberola. It is located on a somewhat busy street and alley which could be a negative for some. Close proximity to restaurants and playground. Would definitely stay here again.

Family MOA trip

This property was everything it said it would be. Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The owners were very responsive if needed and the home was well kept. Across the street is the curling center with an outstanding restaurant. The walk along the water was beautiful in the evening. The town is quaint and worth giving a try. Thank you.

Out of Town Wedding Weekend

We were in town for a family wedding - the location was great and the space was perfect for our group. We loved the ping pong and chess - especially as it rained a ton, so it was great to be entertained in the house. It was also fun to be right across from the curling center to get to see a little of MN pasttimes. It was super clean, owners were so helpful prior to the trip, and the location was great!

What a Wonderful Place!

We had a family get together over Memorial Day weekend. The house was perfect - everyone had their own bedroom and we lived just fine with the 2 bathrooms. We made great use of the dining/family room - board games and puzzles the whole time we were there. Such a wonderful space for a get together with a bunch of people!

Great stay

We were visiting for Thanksgiving with grandparents (2), parents (2), and children (2, ages 3 and 1). Plenty of room with two extra bedrooms that we did not need to use. The place was clean, comfortable, and had a well-stocked kitchen. The Edison machine was a treat! Encounters with the owners were very pkeasant and prompt. Easy walking to a great bakery, nice swingset, curling club, and wine store. Would definitely stay here again.

Weird but wonderful

Weird but wonderful. Party of 6 visiting for family wedding. Property was comfortably right size and we enjoyed all the quirky decor. Could have done with drawers / coat hangers / wardrobes in all bedrooms, storage / holder in upstairs bathroom. Aircon was a saviour as temp was vvvv high. Not owners doing of course, but lots of road works in centre of chaska at the mo - noisy, made property shake and occasionally caused a jam. But overall a great stay.

Beautiful Victorian charm with a great location

We absolutely loved are stay at this beautiful victorian house. The 5 actual bedrooms were of modest size. All but one had A/C which was rather hot for the time we stayed there in July. But on a great note there was A/C in every other room and on the main floor. We had everything we needed for our stay, laundry facilities, pots, pans, glasses, cutlery. The coffee makeer is a drip maker with cone filters. The house did have a supply of coffee and filters, but next time I will bring some to leave for the next person. They also had laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Another plus in my mind. Lets just say that if you were travelling from abroad you would not need to bring anything like that. it had bathroom items like soap, Q tips, cotton balls. The area around the house is great. We were there for curling and it was across the street. There is a bar on the other side of the house but we did not hear any noise at all. There is wifi at the house as well and the tv has channels you can watch or you can use netflix or roku etc. This is a great house, The access was easy if you read the information that they send when you pay your final amount. They have all the instructions , and information you could ever need , if you read what they give you. There is a nice ping pong table in the basement. The only negative I have is the A/C in the last bedroom and maybe 2 more chairs for outside. There was only 4 chairs. It is a big house with no doubt more than 4 staying

Overall the house is beautiful with all the woodwork and spacious for a group. We enjoyed our stay as a bridal party with the venue across the street. The street noise from large trucks does get loud from 5-8 am even with fans going for white noise.
