This was the perfect place for our little getaway. The cabin is cozy with just enough space for two people to be completely comfortable. The bed was super comfy, and we loved curling up on the couch to watch TV as well. Nice location with lots to do in the immediate area. We would definitely stay here again.

The canceled on us while we were driving cross country to get to the VRBO with no explanation. I contacted them, and they said the furnace went out. We had to scramble to find a dog friendly alternative. I wish there was better communication.

Lovely location, cute cottage, comforts of home

Check-in was super simple, the location is great, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. The cottage is stocked with the basics. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had the basics to cook while staying there. While we were missing an item, the owner/host was able to respond and provide it in a timely manner. I would stay here again.

The cabin is exactly as shown, but the details made all of the difference.There was never a shortage of hot water, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the view of a park from the deck was wonderful. We were lucky enough to see a deer, a rabbit and some very cute squirrels during our stay.Loved the entire area and the location is extremely close to everything we wanted to do.We would love to stay there again if the cabin is available on our next trip to Minnesota!
