Quite comfortable and good location. Most of us are short women so the beds were a little high for us. Most vrbo's don't have accommodations for people with disabilities, but it would be nice if they did. Overall, the hosts were very accommodating and pleasant to work with. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home and visit your city.Vicki

Deb and Jay’s place had many sweet places together for our group of seven as well as lots of comfortable living spaces together for smaller cohorts of our group. There were many, very thoughtful touches, including s’mores kit, welcome snacks, lots of dry firewood, and board games. We didn’t have a chance to use the sauna, but they have a very nice infrared sauna. We did enjoy the hot tub outdoors! The beds were comfortable with nice bedding. Everything worked well, including the central air. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Just about one and a half blocks away from Lake Pepin, but nicely off the main drag, so we weren’t dealing with constant traffic.

Deb and Jay are great hosts. The home is equipped with almost everything you can think of, including toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand lotion, mouthwash in the bathrooms, coffee (includng decaf and K-cups) in the kitchen and logs for the fire pit. Beds were very comfy and towels were big and fluffy.
