The property was great. Easy access to the lake and only a relatively short drive to anything you would need during your stay.

Booked for VRBO for 11 people well in advance. Only had 6 there but the house was amazing. Everything we needed was there. Place was immaculate and provided us an opportunity to have an amazing time. Thank you again!
An absolutely terrific property!! We are a group of eight women who have rented this gorgeous Lake Phalen Place several times. Each time we return, we remark how perfect it is… Spacious. Quiet. Great beds. The kitchen is so well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, tea kettle, coffee appliances, even crock pots. The living room, kitchen, and dining room have plenty of seating for all of us. The location is so very lovely. Walks around the lake are a bonus, as well as the beautiful view, especially at sunset. More importantly the hosts are amazing! Thank you, Bill and Sakouna!!! We shall return!
Great location and beautiful lake view. Big kitchen fully stocked with all the things we needed for a family get together. Also loved the large living room with warm fireplace. Everything was super clean.

"Dale, I am glad to hear that the location and home were suitable for your family and you had a pleasant experience. I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for all the care you took in looking after the vacation home. Thank you again for choosing to rent the vacation home, and for being such a conscientious guest.
My family and I loved staying at this house. Eight of us spent nine days over Christmas at this property, and it was a perfect setting for our family holiday. The home is spacious and clean, and there are trails around Lake Phalen right outside the front doorstep. We will stay here again!

I am happy to hear your family enjoyed Christmas at Lake Phaneln Place.

Clean, spacious, pretty. Great location for our family which enjoys being outside. Big yard, nice patio, and great running trail. We enjoyed the zoos, parks, and children’s museum.
This house is beautiful inside. It’s styled well. It’s spotless. I loved it because it was very quiet. The house is large so it was easy to be in a quiet place. We’ll stay here again.
Spacious accommodations with nice views and access to Lake Phalen walk trails. Well equipped kitchen. Perfect for large family. Centrally located with easy access to twin city activities. Twenty minutes from the airport.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything for the property was as advertised. We were in town for our daughter’s college graduation with 9 adults including 2 sets of grandparents and everyone had everything they needed for a peaceful getaway between events!

Graduations are special family events. We are happy that Lake Phalen Place could help support the graduation. Flagship Rentals.
Spacious home with nice neighborhood. But what we like most about it is the cleanliness. This is probably the best cleaned home we have seen so far from VRBO.
Adult family that got together for holiday weekend. Hosted dinner for 8 adults. Plenty of space. Close proximity to everything that we wanted to do. Nice having lake and walking trail to stretch legs.

Thank you for staying with us and taking wonderful care of our home. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Saint Paul soon.
We knew that this extremely clean home would be amazing, as we have rented it before - a dream kitchen, lots of comfortable seating for a big group, spacious bedrooms, wonderful beds, great bathrooms, super location (love walking around the lake), and most of all, an excellent host. We cannot recommend it highly enough. We shall return!
