    We loved staying at the Little Yellow House! Keith was very responsive and helpful. The house was perfect for my husband, son and I. Everything was clean and cozy. It was a great location and easy drive to lots of attractions. There are lots of great restaurants nearby as well. My son loved the basement and found that to be the coolest part as we don't have basements here in Texas. We would definitely love to come back and stay here again!

    The check in process was flawless, we did not get to the house until 1am. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. It was in a quiet neighborhood and perfect for our needs. I would definitely stay there again. Beautiful house Keith!

    The house is set up with all necessary items to make you feel at home. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and found it was close to various restaurants and shops. We were in town for a wedding with our adult son, my husband and me. Weather was beautiful so we enjoyed the patio one evening!

    As many other reviewers have said, this is a great house. It’s in a quiet leafy green neighborhood with lots of people out walking around. The house itself is equipped with everything we need. I had a couple of questions for Keith and he responded within minutes. We’re very happy with this place and will return again.

    I reread my last review for the Little Yellow House and could just say, “ditto” that, but I should put a bit more effort into a new one. One aspect that I failed to mention in my earlier comments was how lovely the Kenny Neighborhood is. Tree-lined streets, tidy homes, lovely plantings —still flowering with bursts of color — joggers, dog-walkers, and folks simply out for a stroll on a sunny, fall day fill the area. The location, too, is convenient for seeing the sights Minneapolis has to offer. The VRBO itself is completely equipped, especially the kitchen. Mattresses are comfy, sheets silky smooth, and plenty of towels and toiletries make for an enjoyable stay. We didn’t even use the downstairs or need the television while there. So many other choices like reading peacefully after a full day of sightseeing. Thanks to the owners for preparing a very clean and comfortable cottage. I suspect that we will return to this sweet nest as we continue our retirement travels.

    My wife and I are traveling on a cross country road trip. It's a bucket list thing. We arranged to rent a property every 4 or 5 days to get a break from the road, do laundry and catch up on the computer obligations. Our stay at the Little Yellow House was a joy! It is a property with a lot of character and charm, but still possesses all of the modern amenities you might need. It's title does not do justice to all of the space in the home that makes it welcoming and relaxing. The owners take great care to provide all that you would need. It is a very quiet neighborhood, but has so many great restaurants nearby. We loved the ability to bike on the 51+ miles of bike trails, many of which can be accessed nearby. A very quiet and peaceful neighborhood that is welcoming. Thanks for the great time and accommodations.

    Such a wonderful little house! The Mrs and I love a shoeless house and having a washer and dryer was a gift. Neighborhood is fantastic, but a bit of a walk to the lakes. So, we chose to drive down and park on the street close to the Harriot lake. Keith was responsive to my requests. This little yellow house is quite special!
