A great stay for 3 generations
A beautiful property, very well equipped.Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for 6 adults, 1 teenage girl, and 1 “almost 12” year old boy. The kids spent most of their time in the pool, catching little frogs, and spotting deer. Easy access to Excelsior, Paisley Park, and Valley Fair. VRBO never sent the key access, but the property manager was great.great. Gorgeous setting, had pix taken in the trees.

Wonderful stay
We couldn’t have had a better stay at this property. The vrbo app was having some issues but communication with the host was wonderful. The location is great and the pool was perfect. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience!!!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, well appointed, private, and quiet. The house was a perfect set up for four generations and the pool was perfect. The outside deck was large and great for dinning and visiting. The front patio was great for playing games.
