Very satisfied. Would stay here again!
The home was simple, nice, clean, well taken care of, and in a great location within walking distance to Walker. We were a group of 4 and we are all very picky about the cleanliness of the places we stay (carpets, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms). This home met all of our expectations. We were very happy and would stay in this home again. Also, the property owner was very thorough and organized :)

Mother Daughter Get Away
The property was perfect for our mother daughter time together. There were 7 of us and the accommodations were perfect. Shopping, eating, and drinking establishments were all within walking distance of the house. We spent a lot of time at the fire pit outside of the home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you.

Great family times within walking distance
We stayed here with our 6 week old and the home was perfect for all the items we had to have that come with taking care of new born. Best thing was being able to pack up our girl and walk to town to get out of the house for. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay again! a bit, grab a bite or visit with friends.

Clean, well equipped, nice location, easy to use features. Encountered difficulty in operating the unlocking system upon our arrival. Within an hour the owner came and provided needed assistance. After that everything went smoothly. Owner solicited suggestions and promptly responded

Great location to access Heartland and Paul Bunyan trails
We stayed a WE and could bike both trails. Access is very easy, 50 yards from the house so very convenient. We had no problem to check in and appreciated early check in and late check out. This is an old house but fully renovated. Nice water pressure in the shower, AC in the main bedroom and living room. Kitchen has all equipment needed. Washer dryer on the premises is a plus

Paul Bunyon Trail
This was an awesome property for my wife and I to make base camp for a few days of biking the trails. The trail was literally 20 yards from the property and convenient walking to downtown for meals was also a welcome adventure. I would highly recommend this charming old house to anyone wanting to explore the area.

Host was attentive and quick to respond. Home was charming and had lots of room. Quiet neighborhood, yet a short walk to town to dine or shop. Bike trail a short block away with access to a variety of scenic trails. We are starting to plan our next visit!

Great girls weekend getaway
We had a group of ladies stay at the house and we enjoyed our stay. It was conveniently located close to all the shopping and restaurants. If it wasn’t so cold when we stayed we would have been able to walk to all the shopping. Everything we could need was supplied for the kitchen including coffee and creamer along with smaller kitchen appliances. We stayed during below zero temps and the main floor did have a hard time staying warm but the upstairs was nice and toasty. Overall a great house and we would come back to this place if we visit Walker again.

Biking Trip to MN
We came to MN to go biking. This property is located directly next to two fantastic paved trails and was perfect. There was a garage for our car and also a great place to store our bikes. The house was as advertised and we enjoyed our stay. Our host was available to assist but the instructions we received were so good that we really did not need to bother the host! Definitely would come back again and will refer our biking friends.

Great stay
It’s an older home with some renovations and I appreciate that style. This was a fantastic stay for my family. We were there fishing for a weekend and were out and about most of the time. The house is close to the lake and downtown Walker. Teia was great to communicate with and timely. Would stay again.

Truly a hidden gem!
We are three couples, friends since high school! We get together at least once a year. We decided on Walker for a change and thought a house would be more fun than a motel. This house was great, lots of space, close to downtown & we were able to cook, play games, shop and relax. The owners answered our questions right away. This would be a great spot in the summer!

Exceeded Expectations @ Walker's Hidden Gem
This was an A++ experience. My family and I couldn't have asked for a better home in Walker. These are owners that clearly care a great deal about keeping a clean well kept home and ensuring their guests have a great experience. Communication from the owners couldn't have been more prompt throughout the entire process. Would strongly recommend anybody looking for a home in Walker to stay here!

Great space for our family’s stay in Walker. The location is perfect for walking to dining, activities or shopping in Walker. Would definitely stay their again, especially would be nice for a longer stay. We just had a weekend. Once special memory is the fire pit set up in the backyard. We had fun roasting marshmallows. Great family place.
