Easy on and off the highway. A great place for our family to stay while visiting for my Mother's 90th birthday. Lots of room for everyone and well furnished. The sunroom is excellent for late afternoons. Plenty of room to be able to get privacy when needed. Fully equipped kitchen. I highly recommend this house. ##### Joe D. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christina G. Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family friendly location We had a wonderful stay! We wanted to get away from the Texas heat and this location had everything we wanted: plenty of room for all in a family friendly location near the Minnehaha creek. It was wonderful to see children riding their bikes and chasing the ice cream truck. The grocery store was super close as well as several nice restaurants. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 is that the a/c struggled to cool the upper bedroom on the hot afternoons. In cooler weather it wouldn't be a problem. Great stay and we would be happy to stay here again. ##### Christina G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Travis B. Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home in Minneapolis We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home for a Thanksgiving trip to Minneapolis! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and felt like a cozy retreat while still being close to the city’s attractions. We traveled with a large family including young kids and there was plenty of space and good amenities. All stairways have doors at the top and bottom which is great for very young kids! The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living space was perfect for relaxing with our family. The location was perfect for exploring Minneapolis. We loved being able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the cabin while knowing we were just a short drive from great restaurants, shops, and parks. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a perfect balance of comfort, charm, and convenience. ##### Travis B. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H.
