Convenient location
Convenient location for us, but we were surprised that the lower level of the house was also rented out. Despite the cleaning fee, we were asked to vacuum and wipe down all counter surfaces before we left. We were also asked to remove our shoes. The house had all of the equipment we needed and the family room worked out very well. Property manager was very helpful.

Pretty good place (As they say in Minnesota)
Clean. Convenient location for us. The host responded when we told him the dishwasher did not work. It was working when we got back. Probably should check stuff like hairdryers and light bulbs on a regular basis rather than telling guests they can replace them. Before we left, we did the kind of cleaning that Air B-n-B hosts do after a visit. Probably the last time we use VRBO.

Departure time
Everything was fine except we forgot trousers that were mysteriously not found By the cleaning crew. Otherwise very nice Rental. Bill was a very helpful property manager. However the 10 AM departure from the house I think is a little unreasonable when you have to vacate a family Especially when there is a power outage the day before. An extension to 11 o’clock would’ve been appreciated.

Great home for a large group, excellent access to walking/biking trail, awesome location
This home was the perfect fit for our family of 8! The kitchen/dining space was perfect, lots of room to enjoy a great meal and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare it! The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was a plus for our large family. The location was awesome with direct access to the biking/walking trail and having access to the community pool/tennis court was a bonus. Drive time was minimal for lots of activities in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. We would definitely recommend and stay here again if we are in the area. William was quick to respond to any of our questions or needs.

Beautiful location, so many beds.
Was with a group of friends for a weekend in February. How amazing to have beds for everyone. Great location near the cities, right on the gorgeous lake, with trail access practically on the property. My one complaint (if you can call it that) was that there weren't any places where we could all gather, unless we really squished, or some sat on the floor. I'm not sure this would be an issue with a slightly smaller group (we were 12).

It’s clean, the bedrooms worked out well, kitchen good size too!
We loved the walking trail being out the backdoor! We had some issues but after a call to the owner he resolved the problem quickly. Enjoyable stay.
