This was a great house for our family of four. Lots of space and amenities. The house was clean and had everything we needed - soaps, towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, coffee, paper towels, garbage bags, plates/cups/utensils, etc. Quiet street and easy to get where we needed to go. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Great place for our family trip! Clean, comfortable, and in a nice neighborhood. Super convenient location — about 15 minutes from downtown and 10–12 minutes from the Mall of America. Plenty of space to relax and the beds were comfortable. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating. Everything we needed for our family of four. Would definitely stay again!

The house is adorable and in a great location. We especially loved the attached sunroom. Communication with the owners was prompt and easy. The only drawback is that all the mattresses in the house are extremely firm.

The house and its amenities were exactly as advertised. Loved the three season porch, sitting and listening to the rain. Location was very convenient to anything anyone needed. Very clean, lots to offer.
