Great get away Enjoy Lake Living . 20 minutes from St Paul and Wisconsin

An historic house on a peaceful and quiet street. The house has a very large front room, dining room and kitchen. These worked well for our family members from different states as we talked and spent time together. The house is a cute, historic bungalow that has been remodeled to have modern amenities. The gardens are nice and it is conveniently located for our needs.

We strongly recommend NOT staying at Jane's property- while the pictures in her post make the place look charming, the property is unsafe, run down & not clean upon arrival.

Night one, a 24X36 framed picture fell straight down the wall, above the daybed that my 2 1/2 year old nephew was sleeping in. Thankfully he was not injured.

Night two, the fireplace mantle fell off the wall along with everything on it. My husband had placed his hand on the mantle, and since it wasn't secured to the wall, and is just balancing on bricks, it fell. Unfortunately, my 1 1/2 year old son was hit in the back/shoulder by a DVD player and suffered scratches and bruising. His injuries could have been so much worse.

Vent covers are not attached to the walls, there is water damage with bulging plaster on multiple ceilings in the home, pictures on the walls are secured with one nail, no matter what the size, the deck has tons of exposed nails.....so tell me...is this a safe place for 4 children under the age of 5 to stay? Is it even safe for adults?

We ended our stay half way through due to these issues. Although we have tried to reach out to Jane on numerous occasions, she doesn't call us back. To this date, she has yet to refund any of our stay or even our deposit. She was well aware that we had four children under the age of 5 staying in her home, as we had several conversations before our stay. We are extremely disappointed in this property and how the owner is choosing to take NO responsibility and due to her negligence, our son was injured.

I would like to give zero stars, but I am forced to select at least one.

Great place - lots of room, lots of charm, met all expectations! If we get the chance,we'll be back! Jane (owner) was always there if we needed her and made us feel welcome, at the same time, preserving our privacy. We had a great trip!

This home was a great experience. Jane had everything set up to make things easy and comfortable. The home was well furnished with everything we needed for a weekend away.

This is a very unique part of the city. You really feel like you are "away at the lake" but are still minutes from all metropolitan conveniences. Many options for walk/bike/run activities.

The house was nice, with well-equipped kitchen, large dining area and comfortable living room.

there was room for two cars to park off-street and room for two more on the street in front.we had six adults + infant + dog and were very comfortable. There are two bedrooms on first floor (sleep 2 & 3) and two upstairs (sleep 3 & 4) with a bathroom on both levels. This house is practical for several couples or a few families.

All of the logistics and communications were great. absolutely no problems.
