Beautiful home, nicely maintained. Was a little difficult for all four of us to sit comfortably and watch a movie - and there was only one tv. The location was great - plenty to eat right in the area. Thank you for sharing your home!

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.

I'm a Chaska resident but stayed here with my bridal party for my wedding. So conveniently located right across the street from our venue - Chaska Event Center, which is part of the beautiful Firemen's Park with a lake and playground. The house was gorgeous, so many beautiful photo ops. Loved the little den with chess table and seating, loved the beautiful green kitchen, the white swing in the front. The rooms were all named and decorated beautifully. It was a wonderful stay.
