The inside of the house was ok but the outside was all dirt, no place to sit, bad neighborhood. Speedway close by so you would hear that at night. Neighbors dogs barked non stop. My husband was outside and two black men in a car drive by and stuck his hand out the window and pretended he was using a gun and went bang bang at my husband.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 May 2026
Thanks for the feedback Kim, we try to be as transparent as possible with our pictures of the outside of the house so I'm confused why you didn't know there wasn't a sitting area outside before booking. We haven't had any of the issues you mentioned in your review in any of our previous 100 stays at our home so that's surprising to hear as well. I hope you filed a police report as well, since letting us know what the skin color of the men was isn't additive to the feedback of our home whatsoever. Thanks for staying!

Perfect for our family reunion folks

This house may look small from the outside but it is actually a lovely space and wonderfully appointed. When we entered we collectively said, Oh Yay!! This is great! The beds are comfy and we had all we needed. It's also an easy walk to town which is great!

Grand Forks Working Stay

The house was accurately listed. The beds were extremely comfortable and accommodated the five of us well. It is conveniently located with only a few minutes drive to the grocery and downtown area.The provisions (towels, toiletries, etc) were plentiful and thoughtful.All in all, it was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Perfect for our work crew.

The house worked well for us. We needed a place for the wedding party to dress and prepare for the day. This location worked so well, and was close to our venue. was spacious enough to be able to get ready. the only negative comment would be the small step leading to the back bedroom is a tripping hazard .

Space for little ones to play

We were in town for a family graduation and wanted a space to also house our adult son, daughter-in-law and their 2 little ones. We enjoyed the shared space for playing with grandchildren, shared meals, and meal prep. Loved that we were in walking distance to downtown area (enjoyed coffee shops, trails, and playground). The young family even walked over to East Grand Forks, MN to see graduates family.

Day of reservation...addition of bringing a pet.

Very disappointed in the price gouging for addition of one pet adding an additional 100 for a single night stay!
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 22 July 2025
You can call it price gouging if you'd like to be dramatic but the simple fact is it costs a lot of money to deep clean an entire house after having a pet so the next guest doesn't have adverse allergic reactions. We also don't hide any of our fees at the time of booking so we highly recommend reviewing all of these on the chance you may have to bring a pet. If you feel they are out of line there are many other options to stay at in Grand Forks. Thanks for staying!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Boettner

Host profile image
Hi! We are Eric and Khonsavanh! Husband and wife team with 3 girls. We live in Grand Forks and enjoy UND hockey, golf, and traveling. When we travel, we often choose a short term rental and understand the needs that may make your stay as comfortable as possible. We love hosting and hope you find our home enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We love the convenient location for those looking to enjoy downtown Grand Forks, concerts, or hockey games. It’s also easy to get to the University or across the river to East Grand Forks. We love the size of the home for hosting a large group. It’s not overly big but has a great spacious flow to fit as many as 8 people in there without feeling crowded.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is the size and location. It’s a short walk from all of the excitement of Downtown Grand Forks and it’s large enough to hold 8 guests comfortably. It also has some fun games and a full kitchen and dining table if you like to gather somewhere.
