Very nice home. Very clean. Great location. Very quiet. One star taken off because the only shower is in the upstairs bathroom. This would not have been a problem except that 4 of us were getting ready for a wedding at the same time. Would recommend this house.

Taylors Falls Getaway

My family and I travelled to Taylors Falls for a quick getaway. I fell in love with this listing online. They were very prompt with communication, and even put a baby gate up because I was traveling with small children. It’s a beautiful place and I definitely recommend it!

Wonderful stay. The home is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully stocked— everything we could think of and more. Check-in and check-out were super easy (no long chore lists!). We loved the comfy beds and the outdoor seating area. Location was perfect— we walked to town and had a 5 minute drive to canoe. Do be aware of the big damage deposit hold on credit cards… but it was a seamless stay.

Air conditioning was not that good. Very hot weekend and could not keep up. Location was good. House conditions were good. Host was very responsive to issues that arose. Spiral staircase was intimidating. Overall, it was a good weekend getaway.

Fun Family Getaway in Taylors Falls!

We had a wonderful stay at the Scandinavian Retreat over Thanksgiving weekend. It was the perfect start to the holiday season, made even more special by the village parade that began right in front of the house! We enjoyed walking just a few blocks to the festivities, where we admired the beautiful lights, bonfires, and historic homes illuminated for the occasion. The house itself was cozy and welcoming, equipped with everything we needed and many thoughtful extras. There were plenty of dishes and cooking supplies, along with additions like avocado and coconut oils, seasonings, condiments, and handy supplies such as baggies and foil. The soaps, lotions, and extra toiletries were a lovely touch as well. Our son especially loved having his own space up the spiral staircase. We would absolutely book this lovely home again. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Sweet Fall Weekend Getaway!

We came here for a bachelorette party weekend and had a great time! Right in the heart of taylor’s falls - we were able to hike, eat good food, and catch a boat cruise in stillwater! Cory was an amazing host and was responsive to all our questions. Home was clean and provided all the things we needed!
