Step into a relaxing atmosphere at Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat. The warm spa-like color palette envelopes you in calm as you walk through the home. Three bedrooms with a sofa bed in the lower level family room, custom tiled bath, and 2 person jacuzzi jetted bath tub in lower level. We have designed this home to be a stylish and enjoyable home away from home with great amenities like a brand new kitchen fully stocked for meals, 3 Smart TVs, and a lower level recreational room complete with pool table and built-in bar.
The space Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat is a 4 level split style home with a pleasing main floor that contains the front living room, a foyer, an informal dining area that leads to the deck and backyard, and an open concept kitchen with brand new cabinets, quartz countertops, fixtures and all new black stainless steel appliances that lead to the attached 2 car garage.

The Blue Heron bedroom with its twin scalloped lamps, Sterns Foster pillow top mattress overlooking two large heron paintings, the Abstract Woman bedroom with it's arresting abstract painting and large flat screen Smart TV, or the Owner's bedroom with it's oriental carpet and desk workstation. You'll have to draw straws on who gets what room!

Family friendly. Pool table is a great addition for some fun family time. Well appointed and clean. Host responds quickly. Be aware that one bath is up top with all three bedrooms and second bath is in basement area. Would stay here again.
Perfect spot for our family as we skied Afton Alps. It was extremely cold so we spent more time at the VRBO, so noticed it was the cleanest of properties. Otherwise, it was a great location and had everything we needed but hot water.
This is a great place for the family and located close to everything. Mall of America about 20 minutes away and Afton Alps ski area was about 14 minutes straight shot. We was there to teach the little ones to snowboard. Afton Alps is a good place for beginners

Thank you for staying with us, Carlton! It was a pleasure to host you and your family. You’re welcome back anytime to Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat!
Beautiful home. Owners were there with answers quickly when we needed something. Only negative for us was the amount of steps. We are in late 70's. Nice quiet neighborhood
We stayed for 10 days to attend a wedding. The home was clean and big enough for us to spread out. The smoke alarm malfunctioned and the owner arrived within 30 minutes. Fabulous communication with owners before and during our stay. They also worked with us to make accommodations for our special need child . Pack n play worked great for nap time, and the kida books were a hit. Thanks

Cheryl, it was a pleasure to host your family! Thank you for choosing to stay with Minne-GetAway!
The house was the perfect size for our family, updated and modeled beautifully. Kids enjoyed the thoughtfulness of a few toys to play with and we had fun playing pool too! The house, unfortunately, has an old soaked-in cigar smell that put a little damper on the feel of the home. Otherwise, all the amenities were well provided and host was easy to contact during our stay! We enjoyed being in Cottage Grove and surrounding cities of Minnesota and hope to return to the area again sometime!
The house has a lot to offer.
Pool table, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms.
The access to everything in the kitchen. Could have used more pots, cutlery, plates and serving platters, when making dinner in house for more than 6 people.
Easy access to the house via codes to door and garage.
Nice and quiet neighborhood.
It was easy to call the landlady, if nessesary

Thank you for your honest feedback, we will definitely address these items. We have been finding groups with more members in their party enjoy this home for their stay. Thank you for choosing to stay with Minne-GetAway!
Was pleased with property overall. There was an ant problem on the lower levels of home and it was musty smelling. Likely a mold isse somewhere from moisture. Definitely bothered my allergies.
