Property was nice but more run down than pictures led us to believe. Outside deck was wonderful and we spent a lot of time there but could have used some cleaning - outside railing coming out of house had a significant build up of dirt and grime. Bathrooms and kitchen were very nice but we ran out of paper towels and toilet paper. Overall, property has some very nice features but probably needs a little more attention to outside upkeep.

This house is absolutely beautiful! There was plenty of room for all of us, and we really enjoyed our time there. It was also an excellent location, because we could use the lake, and there was also a playground kitty corner from the house for our grandchildren.

Excellent Stay in Lindstrom

We were in town for a wedding at Abella. This property was 12 minutes away from the venue and worked perfectly for us. Property owner Jim was quick to respond to all of our inquiries and worked with us for all our needs. Awesome to have all our family stay together during our family wedding weekend. Would highly recommend!

Inside of the home was very clean and roomy for our large group of 11. Outside of home needs a lot of attention, realizing the home is old I understand, but the ferns upfront are overgrown. Shoreline is a mess with overgrown weeds and trees. better change your outside pics of the place. overall a very nice stay.

Just what we needed

Perfect place to stay for a family of 10, spanning 60 years of age difference. While there were little things here and there that could use a little touch up or update, we all left feeling we chose the exact right place.The house was very quiet, especially as we all went to our own rooms, we couldn’t hear anyone else in the place. There was tons of seating. Nothing felt cramped. A couple nice shops in the area and a very peaceful lake atmosphere.

Friends winter weekend with technical hitch

5 friends booked this house for a winter weekend getaway. It was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need to cook. Reasonably clean but there are areas that could use a deep clean, fresh coats of paint, etc. We appreciated the care around avoiding, for the most part, scented cleaning and laundry soaps and two of us have fragrance sensitivities. It was the coldest weekend in January with temps regularly below zero. When I arrived at the house it was quite cold (understandably, as it had not been occupied) and I immediately found the thermostats to try to warm it up. After a period of time it became evident that the upstairs furnace (there are two hvac systems) was not working. The host called a heating tech who arrived quickly - but was unable to fix the problem. The heating tech returned with a few space heaters. We then went hunting for extra blankets (they’re in a basket in the family/sun room) One bedroom couldn’t utilize a space heater as it triggered the smoke alarm. The first night was ok with a space heater helping the upstairs temps and some heat from below rising. The second night the space heater at some point tripped a circuit and we woke up to a very chilly morning. During all of this the host was very responsive - until I asked for a reduction in the rental fee. Then radio silence for more than 24 hours. Still no decision 5 days later.

Christmas Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Friedhem being able to spend time with family during a challenging time with my husband's health issues. It was great to be close to downtown Lindstrom and walk through town during our stay. I was able to get to Mass on foot on Christmas Eve. It was a beautiful night and we felt safe. We keep talking about the wonderful memories that were made. We were plenty warm and had more than enough space in the home to spread out. Thank you for a memorable Christmas celebration at The House of Peace!!

Freezing cold- not child proofed

We froze. I sent an email to the owner for help with the heat situation and never heard back. We literally could not keep the house warm and my grand babies were so cold they became sick and had to leave. Every room was cold and the thermostats warmed some rooms to a point where sweatshirts and blankets were enough, but the upstairs was frigid. You may want to consider baby proofing options for families and perhaps a few upgrades to furnishings and beds. Thanks for the opportunity.
