Wonderful property and hosts. Process was organized and hosts were very responsive. We were so excited to find how family friendly the property is, with games and activities available at the home and a park with playground in walking distance.

Spacious with plenty of room for our group. Nicely appointed kitchen. Our 4 year old enjoyed Cherokee Park, so it was nice that it was so close.Could have used some robe hooks in the bathrooms. It also would have been nice to have a towel hook for the second sink in the downstairs bath.The creaky floors were somewhat bothersome and distracting.

Nice quiet neighborhood
We were looking for a place for our family to stay for our daughter's wedding, and this worked out good. The details of the home were well communicated--would stay here again. Close to Cherokee Park, and we were able to hike down to the Mississippi from the house. Very quiet neighborhood. Lawn and weeds could be addressed, but maybe they are doing "no mow May".

holiday stay
Daugher works in St. Paul and couldn't get away for the holiday ... wanted to rent a place where we could all spend Christmas together. Great little house in a residential neighborhood. Short uber from St. Paul.Only heads up would be for those that might have trouble with stairs. We don't ... and it was fine. But, 2 of the bedrooms are upstairs and it's a steep flight.Other than that ... it is as advertised and a cool spot.
