Wonderful experience!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. Communication was fantastic with the owner. The house is incredibly well stocked with games, ever kitchen item you could ever need, coffee and teas, and plenty of extra linens. It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. There is a beach and restaurants very close. We would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much!!

Slice of comfort

The listing was exactly as advertised. Spacious with ample amenities. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with extra toiletries just in case. Beds were comfy and soft linens. Fridge was stocked with cold water and chocolate treats. Loads of dishes and supplies to make your own meals. I made 2 dinners with ease. Used the wok too! I don't even have one at home. Walking distance to center of Forest Lake. We used the cute beach and ate at Mallards. Block away was the laundromat which we needed after a tough mudder. Fabulous stay!

Perfect for blended families!

We had three generations of family at this house and it worked out perfectly! It was actually kind of nice to have all separate beds but still nine beds total and three separate rooms. This amazingly old, homey feeling home had a wonderful charm to it. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint but it was within less than an hour from main attractions in Minneapolis. Plenty of clean towels and linens, coffee, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom, cute touches of flowers in vases and truffles on side tables, the only grievance was there was only one frying pan and it was a smaller one. We made it work though! We highly recommend this beautiful house in an awesome area of Minnesota.

Attending a Wedding near by(extended family)

My 2 adult children and myself, mom, 2 sisters and 3 aunts stay at this charming house. Enough beds for everyone, very comfortable. Owner was very accommodating-any questions we asked wereanswered quickly. During our stay and had to many people blow drying their hair which blew a fuse. The owner was there within minutes to fix the issue.

Lovely stay!

Perfect place for our group of runners to gather for our Ragnar relay race! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. We actually cancelled dinner reservations to stay at the house and enjoy the deck on our last evening. We hope to be back next year!

Family stay

Rented the home for us and our adult children while in the area for a family funeral. It was a great place to stay, in a quiet town, with space for us to cook, and hang out together.

Happy Crafters :)

We had 9 women who spent the weekend working on crafts, making meals and laughing. This was the perfect place to do all of that! It is an older home that has been updated but with respect to the age of the house. Everything was very clean. We each had a 6' table to use and felt like we had plenty of space for our supplies. The kitchen was really well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. It also has a large table so we could all sit together. Having a ramp to bring in all of our crafting items was also a bonus. The owner was super and it was easy to communicate with her. It was simple to check-in and check-out. It felt like there were little extras that made our stay so comfortable. We all loved it so much that we plan to be back later this year!

Great stay

We needed a last minute place to stay. Jenny was a wonderful host and great communicator. We had lots of space for privacy from each other. When it is warm the bedrooms may need box fans. The bathrooms were perfect. The kitchen was fantastic! We would stay again.

Tough Mudder weekend

This was my first VRBO experience, and I am looking forward to the next. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Three of us ran in the Tough Mudder in Hugo, so the location was great. The massage seat at the house was definitely a bonus after the event.
