About the host
Hosted by Nathan Manthei
Hi, we’re Tuesday and Nathan Manthei. We live in St. Paul, MN with our goldendoodle Finn and cat Penny. We love to explore new cities and restaurants and have weekend getaways at the cabin.
Why they chose this property
We love the privacy and immersion in nature at the cabin! All in a cozy, private, simple residence with waterfront views and a wooded lot.
What makes this property unique
We've seen bear, deer, lots of waterfowl, turkeys, foxes, and wolves. It's like stepping into nature with all the human creature comforts at your disposal. Plus, we think the A-frame architecture is pretty neat.
