Yes! First of all the home is amazing. It is a fabulous Victorian era house with a modern kitchen and is really well furnished and decorated. Second, the hostess answered every query of ours quickly and thoroughly. Third, the location was fabulous for hosting our large family for all our activities in the Twin Cities. Parking was a breeze despite the snowy weather.

Happy House

We all enjoyed our stay at your house. It was so different and interesting. The art, the house itself, the special children's area was all well planned. The space is truly large and comfortable, which helped as it was in the upper 90's most of the weekend. We couldn't decide on the best animal picture as the kids were so excited to find art everywhere! Lots of oohs and aahs, even about the 4-footed bathtub.
