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.

A Wonderful Stay, Again
We've stayed here many times before, and again, it was a wonderful stay. Alex is a great owner/neighbor, his chickens in the backyard are a great entertainment for our granddaughters, and the recent upgrades were wonderful as well. We'll definitely be back again!

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.

Fabulous place and host!
This house was perfect for our family, including three young children. Host Alex was incredibly kind and helpful, bringing us a new coffee maker at 545 AM when ours didn't work, and letting our kids give the chickens some treats. House is full of lovely art and garden is beautiful.
