Mpls, munn
This was supposed to be a 3 bedroom, it was not, there was no place to sit in the living room because of the big king size bed in the living room, there was I chair in the living room, there was no washer/dryer, there was no towels to dry your hands after using the restroom, there were not much pots/pans for cooking, floors were very dusty, very disappointing

Beautiful lakeside house
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lakeside home. The house was immaculate and the views from the balcony were simply stunning. We spent hours relaxing by the water, taking in the serene atmosphere. The neighborhood is quiet and it's less than a ten minute drive to some beautiful waterfalls. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Minneapolis."

Cozy, beautiful accommodation with warm hostess
When my husband and I were in Minneapolis, we had the good fortune to stay here. The house is spacious and cozy in a beautiful location on the lake. The hostess welcomed us warmly and provided us with some delicious food upon our arrival. I have only good things to say about this accommodation.
