Great for a family stay!
We enjoyed our stay! It had everything we needed for a long weekend, and would love to see all the plants in full bloom in the summer. Location was close to downtown, the airport and there are several good restaurants nearby.

Perfect place near everything
We arrived late at night but the host left lights on for us which was great. The house is older but very cozy and had all of the amenities we needed. The location is convenient to all of the activities we had planned: Viking football, Twins baseball and the MIA. We also hiked around the falls. If we had more free time we would have enjoyed the property outdoors. The gardens were amazing and the chickens roaming around was delightful. Thanks for a super getaway.

Always a Great Stay
We've stayed at this location a number of times, and, as always, it was great. The accommodations are exactly as described, the host is always available and friendly, and we enjoyed the addition of chickens in the back yard! A great stay, again!

It was just what we needed for a family reunion. The dining room table and spacious living room allowed us to invite cousins over for a meal and a visit. It’s a home away from home!

Country House in the City!
Very charming property with gardenlike yard. Alex is a great guy, very friendly and interesting. House has plenty of space and is in a great location, very central to tons of fun things (Mall of America, Minnesota Zoo, Downtown, sporting events etc). Would definitely stay again.

This home worked perfectly for our gathering of 4 longtime friends. We relaxed over breakfasts - and easily came & went throughout the Day & evening. Afternoon tea in the garden was sweet.
