Wonderful property and hosts. Process was organized and hosts were very responsive. We were so excited to find how family friendly the property is, with games and activities available at the home and a park with playground in walking distance.

Thank you for your kind review, Ashley! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed Cherokee Park Family Escape and the service provided by Minnestay staff. We're so glad the family-friendly features and location met your expectations. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Thank you for the positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you found our property to be clean, well-organized, and tastefully decorated. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
We had a great location and a very comfortable space. The manager were accommodating, responding quickly to our email requests. Helped create a wonderful experience in Minnesota!
We were looking for a place for our family to stay for our daughter's wedding, and this worked out good. The details of the home were well communicated--would stay here again. Close to Cherokee Park, and we were able to hike down to the Mississippi from the house. Very quiet neighborhood. Lawn and weeds could be addressed, but maybe they are doing "no mow May".

We're glad you enjoyed your stay, especially the time spent out and about in the neighborhood! We appreciate your feedback about the lawn and will address this with our team. We hope to see you again soon!
Spacious with plenty of room for our group. Nicely appointed kitchen. Our 4 year old enjoyed Cherokee Park, so it was nice that it was so close.Could have used some robe hooks in the bathrooms. It also would have been nice to have a towel hook for the second sink in the downstairs bath.The creaky floors were somewhat bothersome and distracting.

Thank you for your feedback, Danley! We're so glad you enjoyed the space and kitchen, and that your little one had fun at the nearby park. We appreciate your note about the bathroom hooks and will look into adding those for added convenience. As for the creaky floors—they’re part of the character and charm of this historic home, though we understand they’re not for everyone! Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Daugher works in St. Paul and couldn't get away for the holiday ... wanted to rent a place where we could all spend Christmas together. Great little house in a residential neighborhood. Short uber from St. Paul.Only heads up would be for those that might have trouble with stairs. We don't ... and it was fine. But, 2 of the bedrooms are upstairs and it's a steep flight.Other than that ... it is as advertised and a cool spot.
