    The location was exactly what we were looking for. The cleanliness and musty smell needs to be worked on. We had to clean and wash all of the dishes and appliances that we wanted to use because there was a layer of dust on everything. The rooms were all very musty and moist. We washed down everything that we could, but it was still not a very clean place to stay. I certainly hope that we left it cleaner that when we arrived.

    This house was really great for a large group. There was 6 adults and a 1 year old. Had all the utensils and kitchen wear to cook our meals. Its location was about 15-20 min. from things like Mall of America, Scheel's and other shopping. We went with our boats and did some fishing on Christmas Lake and caught 30-60 bluegills on each of the 3 days we went fishing. Plenty of bedding and bathrooms are nice. Supplies well available.One of our concerns was the house has a lot of furniture, dining room difficult to get around table once everyone is seated, living room does not have comfortable seating, most of it needs to be replaced. Outdoors the walkway is rather treacherous with misc. mats and such to get to house, too many tripping hazzards.Overall we enjoyed our stay.

    We loved the antique furniture and the country home feel of this property. The gardens were lovely (saw bunnies and a wild turkey). This was a very well equipped home with everything you could ask for provided. Located on a quiet cul de sac but close to freeway access.

    Overall the home was quaint and cozy. I could do without so much furniture and it was dusty. The home could use a deep cleaning by professionals. It was otherwise a nice place.

    This property checked several boxes for our reunion: great location, safe neighborhood, close to Target Field and Mall of America, space for all to sleep, nice washer and dryer. However the host's standard of cleanliness is far different from mine. . Overall this space need a through deep cleaning. It smells musty and there was a notable layer of dust on everything. This made it not a place we were happy to be in at the end of the day. I won't return.

    Pro’s: Location and neighborhood. Con’s: musty smell in the house, mattresses in basement and first floor rooms are not comfortable.

    The pictures posted are definitely from this house, however, they are from many years when the host was on the market to be sold. There is twice as much furniture/stuff in the house than the pictures show. The caretaker was very responsive and the location is good. In order for listing to accurately represent the property, new photos should be posted.

    The house is on a quiet street with a lovely backyard. The children were enchanted by bunnies on the lawn and baby robins in a nest. The house has old-fashioned country charm with comfortable beds and lots of big TV screens. The area has lots of bicycling trails which we love.
