There is parking for up to four cars on the parking pad in front of the house. Please do not park on the lawn, in the woods or on garden areas.
Please be aware that the forest is home to many creatures great and small. Some of the tiny ones may get into the house from time to time. Though we treat the house for pests including spiders, insects and mice, and employ a spray service to control mosquitos during the summer months, this is a reality of nature. Our space may not be a fit for those who are extremely phobic of these and other wildlife.

We couldn’t have had a better stay at this property. The vrbo app was having some issues but communication with the host was wonderful. The location is great and the pool was perfect. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, well appointed, private, and quiet. The house was a perfect set up for four generations and the pool was perfect. The outside deck was large and great for dinning and visiting. The front patio was great for playing games.
A beautiful property, very well equipped.Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for 6 adults, 1 teenage girl, and 1 “almost 12” year old boy. The kids spent most of their time in the pool, catching little frogs, and spotting deer. Easy access to Excelsior, Paisley Park, and Valley Fair. VRBO never sent the key access, but the property manager was great.great. Gorgeous setting, had pix taken in the trees.
