My favorite stay

We had the best stay in this beautiful gem on Medicine Lake! The location is perfect, you can get anywhere quickly in the Twin Cities from this location The house is the cleanest Ive stayed in, the detail to decoration, comfortable beds, kitchen set up, games for kids/teens, babies, everything is perfect!!! Communication with the owner was very easy, so simple to enter and leave the home with the key pad. We will only stay here on our trips back to MN.

Great family getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Koselig Cottage. Only wish we could have stayed longer. The house was perfect for our family. Very clean and cozy. We all enjoyed the foosball and arcade games in the basement as well as the outdoor fun of the kayaks and park within walking distance. The host was excellent with communication and created a very relaxing getaway for our family of 7. Would definitely love to return.

A wonderful place to relax

This home is lovely and clean. The views over the lake are calming and relaxing. The house is well-equipped with so many extras so you don’t have to run to the grocery store immediately. The bed was comfortable, the sectional in the living room was great, the four-season porch was delightful. The yard is fenced-in and safe for children. It is a thoughtfully decorated and supplied home that helps you relax.
