Great little cottage

A peaceful, serene getaway

My husband and I, along with some very good friends, enjoyed a short but very relaxing stay. The setting is so peaceful. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The house has everything you’d need. Better yet, it is just a short drive into Nisswa where we relished all of the little boutiques and unique shopping experiences. And there are numerous restaurants, bars and breweries in the event that shopping makes you hungry and thirsty. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Lovely, remote home

Stayed with family for a wedding in town. The home is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures. Immaculately clean with everything we needed. It was also nice to park in the garage since it was raining during our stay. One thing I’d suggest is some window treatments in the TV room space. It’s a little creepy at night and a bummer for the person sleeping on the bed in that space in the morning. We would definitely stay again.

Unreasonable Charge

We stayed for two nights while in the area for a wedding. The house was as pictured and the location was nice. While there, a piece of a plastic bowl broke off while we were mixing in it. We put the pieces in the garbage and continued making breakfast. The day after our stay, I received an email from VRBO saying I had a new charge. Confused, I opened the email and found the following explanation from the host: "Broken bowl and missing coasters. Bowl was found in the garbage. Renter did not notify me of any damage." Without any prior notification or attempt at understanding, she charged us $60 for the broken plastic mixing bowl and then additionally accused us of stealing coasters? And dug through all our trash? The entire thing is strange and honestly insulting. I'm in the process of disputing the charge with VRBO. We are extremely careful to treat properties with respect, follow host rules, and ensure we leave the place as we found it, just as we did at this location. I find it unreasonable that there was no communication prior to the charge as had she reached out, we could have discussed the reimbursement of the bowl. As for the coasters, I don't even know what to say about that as we didn't pay any attention to them, let alone steal them. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere to prevent finding yourself in this totally unexpected and unsettling situation.
