We loved our stay at the Base Camp Cottage. It was neat as a pin and decorated so cute! Communication from the host was great and check in was a breeze. The house was SUPER clean. Location was ideal - close to campus and downtown, neighborhood was quiet. We would absolutely not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks so much!

The location was perfect for my daughter and I staying there for the Summer Special Olympics games. The beds are very comfortable and I love the different pillows for side sleeper. On thing that would have been nice but not required is when a host has an extension cord for plugs that are behind the bed or furniture. I just loved the theming decor of the house. I hope it will be available again for next year.

This house was perfect for my family to stay in. Our family was having a reunion in Thousand Hills State Park and this was just a short drive away. I SO appreciated that there were a few little toys for my kids to play with. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. Would definitely recommend!
