Gentlemen...does she keep telling you to come up with something for your anniversary, or her birthday, Guys! Call me...I can help you plan something that will have her marveling at your thoughtfulness and bragging to her friends. You can do it, I can help. Call. Theresa at 218-310-4721

This home is not rented as a 'party house'. There are guest limits. Suited for responsible groups, families, church groups, ladies retreats, or scrap booking party, Birthdays, and nature lovers.

The adventure is right in your own back yard!: This home offers so much history and comfort, while still providing an outdoor adventure. The yard is a 1/2 city block with an array of trees and plant life. Deer are often seen walking through to nibble on the apple trees and occasional a friendly fox pounces around. It may be rare, but you may even sight a curios black bear.

The yard boarders on a creek with lovely waters falls, paths, bridge and a occasional bench to sit on and just take it all in. In the winter this area is breathtaking. Large sheets of frozen water cling to the cliff walls, the air is crisp and fresh. The paths are always used, but not over used. Just perfect.

Our stay at Hawthorne Manor was lovely. The property was even more exquisite than what we saw in the photos. We had 11 people in our group and there were more than enough beds for what we needed. The owners were communicative and friendly. Would stay here again!

Graduation Weekend

The house was perfect for our group of 11. The large deck was a great place to hangout and relax while celebrating our son’s graduation from UMD. The setting was private but only a 10 minute drive to Canal Park. Our host was wonderful and very responsive.

Great place for a family get-together!

The house has a quirky but charming layout that accommodates a larger group nicely. Multiple people commented on how quiet they found the bedrooms. There was plenty of seating spread across a few rooms. Fireplaces were a nice bonus. A couple of the bathrooms had awkward but workable layouts. The extensive information about the history of the home provided to guests was fun to read. The beauty of the creek and dramatic waterfalls along the trail accessible from the back yard cannot be overstated.

Knitting Retreat

We have planned retreats at various sites for several years. We’ve gone as far away as North Carolina. Once we were all settled in this beautiful home, they declared it the best place ever. The location was perfect. The kitchen was extremely well supplied. The living room comfortably accommodated all of us and our knitting supplies. One of the things we were most impressed about was how quiet the bedrooms were. This place felt like home. It was perfect!

Wonderful house for girls weekend

This 1914 house is full of character, comfort, amenities and space! We had 7 girlfriends and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen had every utensil, dish, appliance or gadget we could ever need. Theresa was very responsive to our questions. The house is close to Glensheen, which was a great tour, and there is a beautiful trial with waterfalls right out the back door. We should have stayed longer to enjoy all that this had to offer. Highly recommend this house!
