Lovely home in a great neighborhood

The house is lovely and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The owner has a gorgeous front yard with lovely landscaping. Very clean, easy parking, lots of great amenities so we didn’t have to pack every little thing. Only downsides were that we didn’t have access to the garage (this wasn’t a surprise, we just didn’t realize it ahead of time and should have planned better) and the master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable - all the other rooms were great!

You won’t regret staying here!!!

We met up with family in St Paul for the weekend to go to a game at CHS Stadium. The location of this house couldn’t have been more perfect! Having the lake right across the street was wonderful and we loved everything about the neighborhood.The house was super clean and the layout was perfect for our family. The bedroom and full bath downstairs was perfect for grandparents with the kids and grandkid upstairs. Every bedroom had its own bath, which was ver convenient. The beds were comfy and we only had one car, but street parking was always plentiful if we had needed it. We all agreed we would LOVE to stay here again!
