    The hosts were very welcoming, and quickly responsive to questions. We appreciated use of the garage for unloading food and luggage, and parking as needed. The kitchen was well-stocked, which was important to us. What a nice, spacious home!

    The Haven is a lovely home spacious and welcoming. We really enjoyed ourselves. There were games and toys and the outside would be wonderful for our families when it’s not winter.

    A group of 8 women stayed at this lovely home for our annual get together. We LOVED the open kitchen, huge dining area and cozy living room. The deck was also really nice and looked over the lake. Oh - and the kitchen had ample utensils and serving dishes. The house is in a neighborhood that is quiet and convenient to town. The owner was super helpful and accommodating and we highly recommend this property!

    This place was so much fun! Tons spaces for relaxing individually or being together, spent a lot of time on the lake (get the kayaks and canoe!), chats around the bonfire, play places for the little kids, lots to do nearby. The hosts were phenomenal, super informative, responsive, and kind. Definitely will be coming back!

    This was our 2nd year at this house and 3rd staying in one of Carolyn's (and team) houses on a beautiful Minnesota lake. The house is updated and comfy for 6 adult women who each need our own bedroom and just a little fussy about the beds! And a big kitchen for cooking. The outdoor space is amazing, we lived on the covered terrace with the amazing lake view. We highly recommend this house!

    We can’t say enough about the great week we had at this Lake Louise vacation home. The space, the general feel of the home, the spaciousness, variety of activities and the host’s responsiveness - it was perfect. We plan to be back next year and can’t wait!
