This home in Mandan was a great gathering place for our family. The country setting was quite peaceful.The home was set up well with plenty of space for everyone to gather and hang out.
Perfect location for our family vacation. It had the peace and quiet out of town but was within minutes of whatever you might need. Our kids had fun catching firefly’s and riding their bikes on the trail from the front of the property. Fishing was a short walk as well. The hosts were also very responsive to questions about the property.

Thanks so much! You guys were amazing guests. Welcome back anytime.
Clean space. Decently equipped kitchen. Peaceful location that is perfect for birdwatchers. Host is very easy to connect with. The home is a split level so not recommended for those that are needing more accessibility and it did make it a little more of a pain to worry about with our little ones crawling around who are not yet stair safe. The fees with VRBO are also on the steep side, otherwise, we would consider staying here again.

Thank you for recommendations! You were fantastic guests and welcome back anytime.
AWESOME! Well done property! Nicely refinished house on large semi-rural lot! Clean and uncluttered. Nice, relaxed, and homey feel.Abundant wildlife to watch from the enclosed back deck overlooking the pond. Turkey, geese, many different ducks, momma duck and babies, an assortment of birds, rabbits, pheasants, deer, and a muskrat gathering sticks for hut building.All of that said, bring binoculars if you have them! So much to see!

I appreciate how kind you were in purchasing a small item for our home and being so kind with your review. You were great guests and welcome back anytime. Also thank you for the practical tips to continue to make this home even better for the next guests!
Beautiful home on peaceful property with yard and wildlife to enjoy. The sunroom allowed us to feel out of doors even on the rainy days while the bike/walking path close by gave us great ways to get out and about when the sun came out: Easy access to Mandan/Bismarck. Host was very helpful and quick to respond.

Thank you for sharing photos. I am glad you got to see our resident bird population in action! That sunroom is so nice on rainy days. Thanks for being amazing guests, very cleanly and possibly left it better than you it was when you came! Welcome back anytime.
About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Bloms
Born and raised on a dairy farm just outside Mandan, North Dakota. I own a pediatric therapy clinic, which keeps me busy in the best way. When I’m not working, you’ll find me on the golf course, baking sourdough, painting, watching sports, traveling, or fishing. This home means a lot to me, it belonged to my aunt and uncle, and after they passed I had the chance to keep it in the family. Hosting felt like the right way to share a place we’ve all loved with others.
Why they chose this property
The home sits just south of Mandan in one of the most peaceful spots I know. You’re minutes from Huff Hills, close to The Post wedding venue, and right on a bike path with walking and hiking trails nearby. It’s serene, big skies, wildlife, room to breathe, but only about 7 minutes to downtown Mandan and 15 minutes from all the city amenities you’d want. Best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
A newly remodeled two-level home with a pond out back and a steady stream of wildlife passing through. What makes it special isn’t just the updates, though. It’s a home that’s been loved by our family for generations, and we’ve worked to keep that warmth while making it comfortable for guests. It’s the kind of place you settle into.
