We had an absolutely perfect stay and can honestly say this place deserves a full 10/10. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt both cozy and thoughtfully designed. You can really tell how much care the host puts into maintaining the property. Communication with the host was seamless, friendly, and prompt, which made the entire experience stress-free. My boyfriend and I both agreed this was one of the best Vrbo properties we’ve ever stayed in. We would absolutely book again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable stay.

Private Sanctuary

This is a great place if you are traveling solo and need some quiet time. It feels very private but is not isolated, so it still feels very safe. I loved all of the special touches. Very well designed and maintained.

The Perfect Nest

The property is modern and comfortable, clean and inviting, so many kind details! We had our dogs with us and they asked if they could stay after trying the treats our host left!! The bed was comfy and bathroom very roomy. All the notes were clear and I wouldn’t change a thing. So grateful for a place to stay out of the way but easily accessed!

Great Stay at the Nest

My wife and I stayed here 3 nights as part of a longer motorcycle ride exploring this area. Everything was as described. We loved the large porch and trendy styling. It’s quiet and private. The owner Joan lives in the next house down and is everything you’d look for in a perfect host. She went above and beyond to help us with our laundry situation. The nearby town of Downsville had 3 places to eat and Menomonie is 6 miles up the road. We’d easily do this again.

quiet, clean, private retreat.

Stayed for 2 nights for our anniversary. We did some biking on the Red Cedar Trail and enjoyed the driving around the coutryside. If you like quiet and simple this is it. Sat on the otdoor patio and got to see the rose bush in bloom and a hummingbird. Bed was really comfortable. This place has everything you could possibly need (stocked items for the bath -my husband forgot a toothbrush they had one!) Kitchen was nice and fully loaded with what I wanted for making breakfast and a good coffee. Took some getting use to the 2 burner cooktop and microwave but clear instructions are there for you. Worked great. Best part is the Norwegian design throughout the home. Sweet and simple but elegant. I loved it. Thanks Joan & John!
