Homey and Spacious

This place was perfect for our large family - large family and dining space, many rooms and beds, lots of space to roam and explore outside. We enjoyed visiting the surrounding towns and also spent cozy nights indoors with games and movies. Thank you for offering such a wonderfully kept home!

Family vacation

We had a lovely time there with our family. We had planned on a snowmobile trip but the lack of snow dampened those plans. Instead we just did small day trips and hung out, played games, had a fire by the pond, explored the property. Was very relaxing.

Relaxing weekend with family and friends

We loved our stay at the farm! The kids (5, 3, 2, and 1) had a blast playing at the pond and in the yard. The house was really clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need and more. The host was really friendly and even brought us fresh corn on the cob, which was delicious. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening, it’s very peaceful and quiet. The dogs were great company outside, and the new kitty was a highlight for everyone! We would highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a quiet getaway. We hope to be back next year!

Special Gem

My 2 teens + 2 teen friends stayed at Sweet Grandma's Retreat. What a special gem! The house is as listed, and the pond is special treat with water fun and a place for a nice campfire to roast s'mores. The morning greetings from the farm dog and cat- was such a fun way to start the morning! Communication was great- and questions were answer extremely fast! Even the TEENS approved and said they want to stay again!! Thank you for sharing this property!

Wonderful Farm Stay

We loved everything about this home. It is on a farm, and there is another house across the driveway. The gravel road does get soupy when wet, but it was 100% passable in our AWD minivan. Your car will get dirty, but it is very much worth it to stay here. We met Karen, the owner, and she is very kind! We only saw her once but we knew she would be there very quickly if we needed anything. The house is just like being at a Grandma’s home. It is cozy, peaceful, and stocked with caring touches and everything you might need around every last corner. We felt so relaxed just knowing we could spend all day at the house and never be without something to do. There are games and puzzles, lots of books for all ages. Beds are comfy and living room is great for open concept family cooking/dining/relaxing time. It’s so clean, I have no idea how they keep every last surface dust free but again, it’s just like staying at a grandma’s house. We had access to a spot down the driveway a bit that has a gazebo, life jackets, pretty lights for nighttime, a fire pit, a small beach area, dock, and then a paddle boat and some kayaks. I can’t remember if there were other floating items. We didn’t have the opportunity to have time down there but we promised our kids (who begged every time we drove past it) that we will go next time. The pond is small but private, and it’s the perfect size for family kayaking. Overall, it’s one of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed in and we have been in many VRBO’s. 10/10!

Family visit

We were visiting family in Fosston and this was a great place for us to stay. The house had everything we needed and the owners were friendly and accommodating. We loved being met by the dog and cats across the way who were all very sweet and friendly. The yard was a great place for the kids to play and the house was in a nice quiet location just outside of town.
