Wonderful winter getaway

The property was perfect for a 3-week break from Minnesota winter weather. Open, spacious, updated decor that was clean and adequately stocked with essential supplies, including condiments, a few coffee k-pods and bottled water. Temperatures were in the 70-80's but dropped into 40-50's at night so the pool temperature never really got warm enough to enjoy but still comfortable sitting poolside. Hot tub was easy to access and quite relaxing so that made up for not being able to use the pool. Jessica was a marvelous hostess who provided information needed prior to arrival and promptly responded to all our questions before and during our stay. Neighborhood was generally quiet but lots of on-street parking, especially in the evenings (I think maybe some neighbors were gathering for Ramadan). Overall, it was a great vacation spot with access to lots of activities in the area and many good dining spots.

Welcoming getaway

House was clean and pool/outdoor area was immaculate. Host made the experience feel seamless and was quick to respond/ provide assistance. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made us feel welcomed. Just to note, the kitchen is lacking some basic things such as pots and a dishwasher. The freeway is quite loud for those in the back bedrooms. Other than that it was a great experience for myself, my partner and my family.

Comfortable & Relaxing

Aside from the weather, it was a wonderful stay. Disappointed that we weren’t able to utilize the pool and jacuzzi as a result of the nonstop rain and cool temperatures, but the house was nice and cozy. We were delighted that cards and games were provided and the beds were nice and comfortable. The house is very spacious. Our host, Jessica is the best! Any question, at any time she responded if not immediately, in a matter of minutes! Always, always pleasant and accommodating. We definitely recommend this property! You will not be disappointed!!
