Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Overpriced for What You Get It is an old cabin/house that is a bit run down. Our biggest issue was the super intense musty smell. We were also disappointed with the quality of the bedding and towels (which only 2 were left for our group of 4). It's a really steep price tag for a property like this and I would never use the word serene to describe it. The owners were easy to work with, but we were glad we only had to be there to sleep. The fridge was also dirty and the owners left some of their stuff in there which added to our feeling that this is a property mostly used by the owners and rarely rented. Due to the smell, we would not stay there again. ##### Janice B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenna S. Sep 7, 2025 ##### Jenna S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Canopy by Hilton Minneapolis Mill District](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Canopy-By-Hilton-Minneapolis-Mill-District.h26945095.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Bloomington/Minneapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-BloomingtonMinneapolis.h9850.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Minneapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Minneapolis.h16254709.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Normandy Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Normandy-Inn-Suites.h21013.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h5579.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mall of America - MSP Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Mall-Of-America-MSP-Airport.h565006.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Minneapolis Bloomington W](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Minneapolis-Bloomington-W.h430484.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Minneapolis-Downtown.h15360622.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn MSP Airport - Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-MSP-Airport-Mall-Of-America.h24304.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Downtown Minneapolis by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Downtown-Minneapolis.h116673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Minneapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-The-Westin-Minneapolis.h1639753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Minneapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hilton-Minneapolis.h900.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Duluth](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Duluth.h11288233.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Sheraton-Minneapolis-Downtown.h18952.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Minneapolis-Downtown.h15998.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bloomington-Hotel.h6851.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Minneapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Minneapolis.h22839.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Minneapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Minneapolis-Downtown.h6389369.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel Bloomington Mall of America Minneapolis Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Bloomington-Mall-Of-America.h35699338.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Minneapolis Airport-South](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Minneapolis-Airport-South.h64078.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Hotel & Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Edgewater-Hotel-Waterpark.h563342.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Mall-Of-America.h5679898.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Minneapolis-Downtown.h11159.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Minneapolis Bloomington/Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Minneapolis-BloomingtonMall-Of-America.h20366.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis / Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Minneapolis-Downtown.h9757972.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Bloomington.h45237303.Hotel-Information) > > [Element Bloomington Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Element-Bloomington-Mall-Of-America.h46073787.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Bloomington](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Bloomington.h1312447.Hotel-Information) > > [Canal Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Canal-Park-Lodge.h22433.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Duluth by the Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels-Days-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Duluth-By-The-Mall.h3779.Hotel-Information)
