Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paul Bunyan & Heartland State Trails Perfect location and beautiful home for our stay in Minnesota. Communication and response time to any questions we had went well. We were able to complete both bicycle trails and get some pickleball in as well. Loved it. ##### Mariellen H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike P. Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Upgraded Stay with Lake Access The property is as it says online. Very nice and roomy. Master suite king bed is new, firm, and with comfort pillow top. Grill was only charcoal, but charcoal and lighter fluid was provided. Property include access to protected harbor spot. The home is located feet away from paved Heartland Trail access. It is conveniently located a block off the highway. During the day, traffic noise can be heard but it quiets at night and the home has great A/C so you don't hear it much. We would return! ##### Mike P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bart P. Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great space for my family of 6 Was a great space for my family of 6 adults. It is a very new property. The photos don't really do it justice...It is larger and nicer than I expected. Very happy with each of the rooms. An unexpected surprise was the hockey net and pucks at the nearby marina which provided some exercise and entertainment. We had a couple of minor issues...sticking deabolt that delayed entry at check-in and refrigerator water dispenser was not functional. Host quickly communicated about both issues, though the water issue was not resolved during our stay. Overall, we had a positive experience and would definitely stay here again! ##### Bart P.
