Short walk to the lake, it has a sectioned off area for swimming. Plenty of bedrooms in the home and nice place to relax. The AC was nice since it was hot when we visited.
I rented this home for a sisters getaway. It really is a great space for a relaxing weekend. My sisters noted that the shower curtains had pink mold and the grout needed a good cleaning, thus the 4 stars. The kitchen was well stocked, although the knives could be better with more variety. I would rent again!
Accommodations are great in the gem of a house. Multiple bedrooms was a plus.
Just a heads up, there are steps to get into the front or back door. Not a deal breaker for our group but could be in a few years!
We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home for our annual sisters weekend. This year was the Stillwater area. We spent a lot of time here in the mornings and evenings. Nice sized kitchen.
6 college girlfriends getting together to celebrate 50 years since junior college graduation and we had an absolute blast! The house was perfect for us with plenty of room and a great deck where we enjoyed morning coffee and evenings filled with memories and laughter! Highly recommend this house!
My family and I loved staying in this house! It had a wonderful location and was so clean. The house fit our needs perfectly and we adored the front porch. My Mom and I sat out there a lot. The side deck was nice with the umbrella and view of the lake. The kids had plenty of space to play and relax. We walked around the neighborhood every day and down to the beach, the kids didn’t want to leave.
When we come back we would stay here again.
This charming lake home was perfect for our 5 night stay close to Stillwater. Plenty of beds to choose from and a comfortable environment to enjoy family time. The dining room was key to our memorable family game enjoyment.
Our family of six adults & one child had a great stay. The location was great for the things we wanted to do and having the lake so close was wonderful. Jane has easy to work with and gave us lots of tips for things to do. Would recommend!
We had a girls weekend with mom and sisters and had such a nice stay! The house was warm and welcoming with plenty of space. It is tucked in a quiet neighborhood that was perfect for us. The owner communicated with me prior to our arrival to make sure everything went smoothly and promptly answered questions as we had them throughout our stay.
Our family really enjoyed staying at this property! It is a beautiful home that sits in the middle of a family-friendly neighborhood and is within walking distance of two beaches. There was plenty of room in the house for our entire family (all 8 of us!). The host responded quickly to any questions. We're already looking at dates to come back!
We were in Minnesota for a family gathering. This rental was spacious and the rooms provided plenty of space. It was clean and well maintained. We planned for and packed expecting to wash and dry clothes. (Washer and dryer was a listed item) two days in to our 6 night stay the host advised me that washer and dryer use is only for those staying a week or more. This was disappointing!
Overall it was a pleasant stay

Great place for a family gathering
An historic house on a peaceful and quiet street. The house has a very large front room, dining room and kitchen. These worked well for our family members from different states as we talked and spent time together. The house is a cute, historic bungalow that has been remodeled to have modern amenities. The gardens are nice and it is conveniently located for our needs.

Great!
My family had a wonderful time at Jane's White Bear Lake House. The house was comfortable and had plenty of space to accommodate gatherings with our local Minnesota relatives. Jane checked in with us during the week to make sure we had everything we needed and even helped us rent a kayak and paddle board for our kids to use on the lake. We hope to return again!
Older home but everything functioned well. Plenty of comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked. Very clean and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. I missed the note about laundry facilities when booking, so just be aware that you only have access if staying more than 5 days (kind of annoying with traveling with 4 kids and packing assuming I would have access). Would definitely stay again if visiting same area.
This is a really cool old house in a great location. The house was very clean and everything was serviceable, but the house and furnishings are pretty worn. The beds were all pretty uncomfortable. The kitchen wasn't very well stocked, and there was no vent for the gas stove, so we ended up doing less cooking than planned. With just a little effort, this could definitely be five stars.
