Clean and Spacious

Enjoyed a long weekend with family at the Irish Ridge Retreat. The house was extremely clean and had plenty of room for everyone to both sleep and congregate. The yard was expansive as well (although a bit buggy, so don't forget your insect repellant!). Appreciated that it was a quick trip to Lanesboro, which is an adorable town. We were lucky to be there during the fireworks for Buffalo Bill Days, which we could see perfectly from the house.

Fireflies and Yard Games

We used this as a central location for work colleagues to meet for a planning meeting. Property was amazing- lots of space to collaborate. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and made preparing meals for our group of 6 very easy. The yard is great- enough space for yard games, star gazing and bonfires. Only a mile to Lansboro made taking a break and walking the town convenient. Great space.

Family Golf Getaway

My family has been coming to the area for 22 years now, and enjoying the local golf courses for an extended weekend. This was the first year we looked to VRBO for our accommodations, and this was the PERFECT property for us! Very large and open common areas for easy gathering. Numerous seating arrangements and a wide open kitchen gave a spacious feeling to an otherwise packed house. Without question our family will look to return and have already made reservations for next year. Beautiful, private home. Highly recommended!

Family gathering

Irish Ridge was. Everything we could have asked for. The property is in an attractive location with farm fields on three sides but with plenty of maintained yard space to use for games. Easily accommodated 5 teens and 8 adults. 5 minutes to Lonsdale, and a short drive to Preston, Harmony, and fountain. Everyone enjoyed it.

This property is fabulous. Just a couple of things needed for a group of 8 women. Mirrors in the bedrooms for doing hair and makeup. And maybe a dresser to put things on rather than the floors. We will be back.

Excellent spot when visiting Lanesboro

We had a group of 4 couples in town for biking. This house was perfect. There was plenty of space and we could have definitely added a 5th couple comfortably. The owners thought of everything and the house was well stocked with basics. There's even a huge water heater to ensure everyone has a hot shower! Communication was easy and we had no issues. We are already talking about returning next year. The house is about a mile outside of town on the highway so riding bikes to town is not realistic but the trailhead with tons of parking is very close.

Great home close to Lanesboro

This was such a comfortable home for our group of friends! We visit Lanesboro to ride on the bike trail each year. The location was great! The parking lot for the trail was less than a mile down the road. This updated home was perfect for us. Good living room, dining room, and kitchen area for gathering. Plenty of bedrooms and baths. Beautifully furnished. We loved it!
