Would have scored 5 stars except for some items needing attention:1. The smaller bathroom was not properly cleaned in our case, and the shower door did not completely close. 2. Our favorite spot, the screened in porch, was occupied by dead insects, spider webs, and other small debris that we cleaned up. 3. The dining chairs on the porch were soiled and need updating. 4. The house would be much more inviting if it received a new outdoor coat of paint and if the gutters were cleaned out. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our stay and hopefully will return. ##### William M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack M.

We enjoy cooking and there could have been more things in that regard, but we made it work. The owner was kind and quick to respond. It was a pleasant vacation. ##### Linette H. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dana H. Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The location is great and this historic house is very cute. Easy access to the river and the quiet village of Rural with the Chain o’ Lakes nearby. The screened porch is a great space and the inside living room is a cozy space with built in cabinets that help keep the place organized and neat. A/C works well. The kitchen is spacious and reasonably stocked. Great to have a garage to use. The listing says it sleeps eight, but I think any more than six people is tight. For six people it’s reasonably comfortable. Note the only place to seat six for a meal is on the porch, which is ideal in moderate temps and daylight. If it’s very hot/cold, you’ll have to endure the temps and the lighting is dim if eating late. The one shower is huge and the other is so small you can’t bend over to shave a leg. We ended up mostly taking turns in the big shower so there’s a bit of shuffling around between bathrooms. This is our second year here and I will say the overall maintenance and cleanliness are slipping a bit. Nothing major that would ruin the stay, but it’s noticeable that things are getting broken and worn compared to last year and seem to not be repaired/replaced. Hopefully the owners give it some TLC since it’s a really charming place. ##### Dana H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim W. Aug 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rural Stay This is a historic home and at first glance it needed exterior paint which caused concern. However, once we went inside the house was clean and full of charm. The immediate reaction went away quickly and we had a great stay. No problem recommending this home to others and the property owners were very attentive to a couple of requests that came up. ##### Tim W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz Z.

We had two families- 8 people and the size of house was just right! Such a cute home and all the hometowns smells were awesome. The river in the front yard was so relaxing and quaint…. We felt blessed to be there and had a wonderful time. Shadow Lake swimming area was perfect for our boys who loved the high dive and the parents who needed cooling on the 100 degree Sunday we were there. The Red Mill home store and ice cream shop was so cool! Clearwater harbor was a yummy restaurant that welcomed dogs and had outdoor seating. Their blueberry mojitos was fantastic! I rate this family/friend vacation a 5 and would recommend this cute historic area to any wanderlust vacationers like us… ##### Liz Z.
