We fully enjoyed our stay at this cute,Clean and comfortable space. The house is near the River with walking/biking paths which we used daily. We were also close to coffee shops,Restaurants and grocery stores. The home had ample space to hang in the living room and play games, which were provided. Bonus activity was a foosball table in the garage.

Surgery stay

We stayed here for a week following my child having surgery. The stay was wonderful. Very safe and friendly neighborhood. Hosts followed up shortly after we messaged them every time. Our only complaints is the dryer didn't work and there was quiet a bit of dog hair in the towels. Otherwise we LOVED staying here and would absolutely stay again! Our kids (3.5 & 6mo, and our friend 3yo) absolutely loved the hose and the games. We even ran around the beautiful yard! Great location!

Quiet,clean,retro retreat!

This house was perfect for our family of 4. The house was spotless and updated. It was easy to find all the amenities within the home. The location is walking distance from River paths. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The hosts were easy to communicate with. We felt at home and were very comfortable there. Would rent there again in a heartbeat when we travel back up to Minneapolis!

Satisfactory

The master bedroom had ample room with closet, dresser and king bed. Other two bedrooms lacked space for luggage. Bathroom was extremely small. Because of reviews, we expected to be closer to walking paths in parks and along the river. The yard and landscape needs work compared to the neighborhood. The back yard was not inviting. The inside design and coloring was nice. The owners were extremely helpful and always friendly and available. The supplies and equipment were adequate.
