Spring Break Stargazing
We stayed during our spring break for 3 nights. Visited Mayland Earth to Sky Park in Burnsville for stargazing at their observatory. During check-in, there was a mix up with the cleaning dates, but the hosts acted very quickly to resolve the issue to our complete satisfaction. It was a great trip, and I highly recommend this property and the hosts for their attention to accommodating us during our stay.

A fantastic white Christmas for our whole family
What a great house! 4 bedrooms, 3 with king beds and 3 beautifully remodeled bathrooms. Plus a new kitchen, outdoor grill, gas firepit and hot tub! It had everything we wanted and needed for our family to celebrate Christmas together. It was an amazing bonus that it snowed on Christmas eve giving half of our family their first white Christmas! We had extended family in the area join us for Christmas dinner and managed to get 10 around the table and everyone exclaimed what a beautiful and perfect house it was. Thanks again for the "interesting" and decorative tree and for providing us with BBQ tools when asked. We'd definitely stay here again!

Nice weekend at Family Launch Pad
Our group of 8 had a very nice stay at this house. The best part was the patio with it's table and outdoor propane firepit. We definitely made use of the hot tub too. The kitchen had everything we needed. This house is convenient to the BRP and the interstate. We would definitely stay here again.
