    The hot tub was AMAZING! Perfectly clear water and the temperature can go up to 104. The house itself was a hidden gem. The decor made us feel right at home. There is any appliance you could possibly need, along with plenty of basics for your stay.

    This was by far our favorite place we've ever stayed. It was the coziest home with so much character and its perfect for a family vacay. It fully matched the online description/photos. It was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with all of the utensils, dishes, spices and equipment you need to cook. Beds were super comfy. It has a huge backyard. It was really close to a grocery store. The host was quick to respond and check in was a breeze. Highly recommend staying here!!

    Beautiful piece of property but some things need attention, mainly outside. Chairs by firepit were very dirty; table, deck and front steps need a paint job; hot tub didn't look clean. We also had some trouble with the key pad to open the house. Took us three tries on two occasions. Inside of the house was nice and well equipped. Owner was very responsive to questions we had. Overall, we enjoyed the stay. We were here to attend the Minnesota State Fair.

    What a beautiful house! Everything is cozy, inviting, and clean. Minutes from everything in St. Paul, but a backyard that makes you feel like you’re in the woods. Could not have been happier. Thank you so much!!

    The house was very nice, beds were comfortable. We came here after having a celebration of life for my wife who passed away six months ago. It was just what I needed. Peaceful and comfortable. Lots of nice little touches. Made for a relaxing few days.

    The pictures do look a little outdated based on our recent stay. It’s definitely a cute house but in need of updates and tlc. The outdoor space is was a little overgrown and all of the chairs very dirty. It seems like the area might not be in the best neighborhood. They made it a point to lock your car doors and a local told us not to go out and walk our dogs past dusk. I did think it was very strange their refrigerator wasn’t empty. It was stocked full of crusty condiments, half full 2 gallon pop, olives, etc. and thought this was pretty gross. It was also very hot throughout the house despite all of the air window units. I would also suggest if having plants is something they want to have going forward to keep them all alive because dead/dying plants inside lead to bugs/weird smells and there were both present.

    Beautiful house near all the activities we were interested in. Lots of family owned restaurants in the area, and close to downtown St. Paul. The only thing I would have liked, is dressers in the 2 bedrooms. When staying for a week I like to put my clothes away.

    We stayed 2 nights with my teenage boys and 78 yr old mom. Very clean older home. The backyard is very nice with fire pit and treehouse: would be fun for younger kids. Nice neighborhood. Lots of steps in home: FYI for older folks. Very well stocked home and kitchen- everything you need.

    Our group of 8 young women found this house to be SO pretty and cozy. We were able to just hang out comfortably and enjoy the comfy living room and hot tub in the evening. The bedrooms were all comfortable. Heidi, the manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive. Go ahead and rent this one...you won't regret it!

    Great house and easy check in! There was lots of room to sit, chat, and have a nice girls weekend in the twin cities. Plenty of street parking. Only thing is that the faucets were difficult to turn off completely, both the kitchen and bathroom sink faucets leaked slightly.
