From their e-mail: Helen, just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at your home. Your home there is beautiful, more than we expected. I took a lot of pictures and will be telling others about your place. We all hope to come back next year if it all works out. Thanks again, and if anyone would like our opinion, you could use this as a reference and they could call us, too: 701-775-5144. Thanks again. PS Some of my family members wrote in the guest book there, too.

Hello, A quick update for our guests. A new oven/electric flat-top range was installed last week. We've also put wood laminate floors in the spare room, kitchen, halls & bath on the main level. Be sure to let us know if there is anything that would have made your stay even more enjoyable. Warm regards, Dean & Helen Hermanson

It is so gorgeous here today that we all cam back early so we could enjoy the view from the deck. So we are here sipping drinks on this cool autumn evening watching the sun set amid the beauty of the Hills. Pictures of your cabin on web site do not not do your beautiful dwelling justice. We were all so comfortable and felt like we were in "God's Country". Thank you for letting us use your comfortable home to re-energize our batteries!
