Perfect place to reconnect with old friends
Jane's place had plenty of room for us to visit. We stayed here for our high school girls get together. We sat on the deck to catch up with each other. The dining room table was the perfect spot to play cards! There are plenty of beds. The home has beautiful wood work and furnishings. We took a walk down to the beach to watch the sunset! So glad we found this rental!

Very cozy
I rented this home for a sisters getaway. It really is a great space for a relaxing weekend. My sisters noted that the shower curtains had pink mold and the grout needed a good cleaning, thus the 4 stars. The kitchen was well stocked, although the knives could be better with more variety. I would rent again!

Accommodations are great in the gem of a house. Multiple bedrooms was a plus.
Just a heads up, there are steps to get into the front or back door. Not a deal breaker for our group but could be in a few years!

Great stay
My family and I loved staying in this house! It had a wonderful location and was so clean. The house fit our needs perfectly and we adored the front porch. My Mom and I sat out there a lot. The side deck was nice with the umbrella and view of the lake. The kids had plenty of space to play and relax. We walked around the neighborhood every day and down to the beach, the kids didn’t want to leave.
When we come back we would stay here again.

Nice house with plenty of space
We were in Minnesota for a family gathering. This rental was spacious and the rooms provided plenty of space. It was clean and well maintained. We planned for and packed expecting to wash and dry clothes. (Washer and dryer was a listed item) two days in to our 6 night stay the host advised me that washer and dryer use is only for those staying a week or more. This was disappointing!
Overall it was a pleasant stay

Knitting group retreat
It was great, wish I would have gotten more information like the log in for TV. We tried to warm thing up to find out the fireplace was not a functioning fireplace. On thursday evening there was a knock that appeared to be on a window, scared us to death ended up being a delivery service for some luggage after we we got up the courage to go out on the porch. Went out later and all of sudden it was gone which meant someone came up to the door and grabbed it. Also the light in the kitchen was flickering when on, I am thinking there is a short problem so never left it on in fear of a fire hazzard. (The hanging light by patio door). It was nothing really really bad. My biggest reason for the 4 starts is the couch really needs replacing. It is really wore out and not comfotable to sit on. Thank hyou.

Great location, house could be better
This is a really cool old house in a great location. The house was very clean and everything was serviceable, but the house and furnishings are pretty worn. The beds were all pretty uncomfortable. The kitchen wasn't very well stocked, and there was no vent for the gas stove, so we ended up doing less cooking than planned. With just a little effort, this could definitely be five stars.

Our family really enjoyed staying at this property! It is a beautiful home that sits in the middle of a family-friendly neighborhood and is within walking distance of two beaches. There was plenty of room in the house for our entire family (all 8 of us!). The host responded quickly to any questions. We're already looking at dates to come back!

Great Lake Cabin near White Bear Lake
Older home but everything functioned well. Plenty of comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked. Very clean and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. I missed the note about laundry facilities when booking, so just be aware that you only have access if staying more than 5 days (kind of annoying with traveling with 4 kids and packing assuming I would have access). Would definitely stay again if visiting same area.
