Honestly the cutest place we have ever stayed! The Halloween decorations were a fun touch for our spooky little family, and our toddler especially appreciated the toys and books. It was such a special, cozy stop that felt like home. The location was perfect: tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still close to downtown. The host, Jaimie, even gave us phenomenal restaurant recommendations. We definitely hope to be back one day! Thanks again!

Our stay was short, but this home was the perfect overnight getaway for our family of 5. The home looked exactly as described. It was so clean, welcoming, and comfy. We loved the attention to detail throughout the house and the personal touches too. The gazebo was a great place to relax at the end of the day too. We’ll definitely look to stay here again next time we’re in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Jaime Arnold

Host profile image
My husband and I got married in June 2023, 2 days before my mom passed away. Being an only child, and having my dad passing away 13 years earlier, I was left my childhood home. I didn't have the heart to part with it, so we put a lot of work in the home to turn it into a VRBO.

We have 2 kids (4 & 8) and 4 dogs. We live right across the river in Minnesota and enjoy traveling, geocaching and seeing oddities. Spencer enjoys fishing, especially ice fishing.

Why they chose this property

It's my childhood home. :) The yard is a work in progress but we will be refurbishing the gazebo in the back, building a butterfly garden and placing a geocache in the back.

What makes this property unique

Each room is specially curated to my moms, dads and my family interests. The master bedroom is a rock and roll theme; my mom and I went to a lot of concerts! The spare bedroom is a railroad theme; my dad worked for Candian Pacific Railway. I have spent a lot of time on the details and my heart has been poured into this project.
