Sunsets overlooking Inground Pool, Lake, Sauna - 9 miles to downtown Minneapolis

The house was immaculately prepared throughout. The setting is amazing very close to the city and easy to access all the twin cities has to offer. We really enjoyed the pool and used it every day!

This was a fantastic place to stay in for our vacation in Minnesota. The bedrooms were great and provided sleeping accommodations for my family. This is the first time I have stayed at a lake home with a pool and it was where we spent a majority of time. There was also a sauna that we used most days. The weather was good so we went out on the kayaks on the lake. There was a gym room in the first floor with weights to work out daily. We had breakfast in the screened in porch over looking the pool and lake and pool. Maple Gove was close by for shopping and movies. Minneapolis was 30 min away to visit our niece and other attractions like the zoo or mall of America. The kitchen was great for cooking and it was well supplied with spices. Janice is a lovely host, and made sure that we felt at home and had everything we needed. Great house for families and any group of friends and family. We will be back again. Thanks Janice for allowing us to stay at your lovely home.

This wonderful property absorbed myself and my four children with families. There were 13 of us in all and you would think a three bedroom wouldn't do it but really there are four rooms upstairs. One bedroom has been made into a dressing room attached to the master. We had kids on mattresses in there. Myself and my single son slept in the basement on daybeds and the three couples each had their own bedroom and space for small kids to overflow. The best part of the rental was the pool. With five small kids from three families we were all on different schedules but having our own pool allowed us to spend hours in it. The adults as well as the kids enjoyed this great pool with a diving board and deep end. There were noodles and floating chairs and some toys with the pool. We used the Pungo kayaks a few times and the cockpits are large enough for a kid to sit in with you and still have room to paddle. The kitchen was wonderful. We cooked all our dinners with many people pitching in and there was plenty of space. We often ate on the screened porch which accommodated all of us and had a great side table for serving. We went into the city once and it was easy to get there and back out. We also went to the neighborhood playground once and that was a treat for the kids. About 4 miles away there is a Whole Foods and a Trader Joes in the same parking lot. It made our shopping and planning so easy. There was a nice big screen TV in the family room which was hardly turned on except for the womens world cup. This was a whole family event and the room accommodated all 13 of us very nicely,although the 9 month old didn't really get into it. The picture was great on the TV. I would definitely recommend this as a place to for large groups with small children. Having the pool was wonderful. Janice and Tim were great hosts. Thank you

A wonderful home to stay in while visiting the Minneapolis area with family. We spent much of our time in the house as we had a few little ones. The home easily accomodated my husband and me, my 85 yr. old Mom, my son & daughter-in-law and their 2 children, and my daughter and son-in-law with their one yr. old daughter. The bedroom accomodations were such that everyone had their own space. Janice could not have been more gracious and accomodating --- even getting some sand toys for the kids. (Unfortunately, due to lots of rain that week, the beach was not accessible.) Janice is a lovely host, and made sure that we felt at home and had everything we needed. Everyone had a great time in the pool. We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch, where we got great evening breezes and saw beautiful sunsets. The porch was my favorite place, and was a perfect spot for the kids to play or draw, and each night the adults played games until late after the kids went to bed. Great house for families, girls getaways, and any group of friends and family. Close to the city and things to do - we got to the zoo, downtown Minneapolis, the Falls --- none more than 1/2 hr to 45 minutes away. Found a few great playgrounds nearby. Nice quiet neighborhood, on a great scenic lake. Thank you, Janice, for your warm hospitality and graciousness! Hope to visit again sometime!
