Kelly was a great host. The house had all the essentials needed and then some. The location was perfect to walk downtown to explore Waconia and yet stay back to enjoy the house in a quiet neighborhood.

We love everything about this home! Impeccably clean, updated beautifully while leaving in the character of the era (those kitchen cabinets!). Host was accommodating in every way but only when we needed it . We had wonderful sleeping areas for the whole family and a table perfect for family dining and games. The sun porch, fenced yard, and walking score were huge bonuses. We will be back!!!!

This is an outstanding place to stay if you are visiting Waconia. Close to everything and even decorated for Christmas. As a host, Kelly, thinks of everything and the place is lovely with everything you might need. We stayed at this property two years ago and was excited to come back again. We especially like the main level as we could play family games at the big table!

Great house, even better location

This is the second time we are staying here. We love the spaciousness which was for 6 adults. The house is very clean and true to description! The location is wonderful and convenient to walk to the lovely lake, around the neighborhood or to downtown for great food or coffee/tea! Would highly recommend!
