The host was very good about answering questions and giving us the necessary information we needed. We did notice there were no "pot holders" in the kitchen - we managed without.It was a great place for family to gather - and close to the things we were going to do.

Centrally located

Perfect for our family. Grandparents stayed in beautiful walkout basement bedroom that had bathroom and living/play area with games. The main floor was perfect for the three children and parents. There were books and stuffed animals that made bed time a breeze. The host was very responsive. Easy to get to mall of America, the airport, restaurants and family in Edina.

A bit cozy, but nice house.

House generally had everything we needed. With 7 adults, the mail living area was a bit snug, and only two bathrooms were challenging at times. Neighborhood and location was nice.

Property was clean and very pretty. Thermostat was locked and we were unable to adjust it until contacting the property manager. Wish the washer would have been working. A few more staples in the kitchen would be good. Overall very nice property.
