We were in Albert Lea to ride the bike trails - Fountain Lake and Blazing Star State Park. This home was the perfect fit. We appreciated the coffee and cookies and the front porch was also a treat! We wish the bathroom was a little bigger, but other than that, it was a great stay.

It's a nice house, beautifully restored and centrally located. The front porch is perfect to relax and enjoy the park across the street and watching people fish from the lake shore. The 5 mile walking trail around starts and ends at the house. What a wonderfull way to start or end the day.

A wonderful Winter relaxation

With the temperatures so cold, this property was the perfect place to stay in at. A cozy kitchen that we enjoyed visiting and cooking in, a cozy dining room for our delicious meal, and easy travel to visit local antique businesses and restaurants close by.

Home away from home

We stayed here a year ago when we came up to visit family. We enjoyed staying here then so when we were looking for a place to stay we knew where we wanted to stay. The hosts are wonderful people, and so caring. The house is by the lake with wonderful views.!.

We are happy repeat visitors. The home is very cute, and had everything we need. There were countless special touches that made our stay comfortable and downright delightful. The hosts truly go above and beyond. We enjoyed walking around the lake, visiting the ice cream place, hiking at the nearby state park, and going to the local winery. We also enjoyed our time sitting on the front porch.
