It had all of the amenities and equipment we could have hoped for. While it is an older house, it has been meticulously maintained with significant money being spent on remodeling, especially in the bathrooms. The lower level, with a very large TV, sauna, and updated bathroom was a very nice surprise as well. We would happily rent this property again if the need arose. ##### Mike H.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay. Immaculately clean, beautifully styled (but uncluttered, which we really appreciated with a two year old). Everything is bigger than it looks in the pictures and our group of six had plenty of room to spare. Check in and check out we’re both super easy and our communication with the host was lightening fast. Waconia is such a great little town and we loved being able to walk to everything. We especially enjoyed Mocha Monkey for coffee and Pangea for an amazing breakfast. We also highly recommend a distillery tour at J. Carver. All around great stay! ##### Heidi S.

Everything was clean and the house was perfect for our needs. The house was easy to find and we drove straight to it. The host had thought of everything and the house was well stocked. We cooked most of our meals at the house and everything we needed for food preparation and eating was provided (except the food of course). We had forgotten to buy dressing for our salad and we even found olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the cupboard to make a vinaigrette! While there, we enjoyed playing horseshoes in the backyard, and also walked a few blocks to the marina on the lake. If we are in the area again we would stay at this location in a heartbeat. ##### Brian A. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne G.

This home was rented for family visiting from TN for a family wedding in Waconia on the 23rd and then to gather to celebrate Christmas. The home was immaculate and every need was taken care of. A welcome note, along with chocolates and a gift card to the local market was left to greet us upon arrival. It was close to main street Waconia and also to the church and reception for the wedding on the 23rd. Kelly responded quickly to any request. If you need a place to gather and celebrate with family or friends, we would all highly recommend this home. ##### Jeanne G. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlie H.
