We were celebrating a family birthday. The house was beautiful, well maintained, had everything we could possibly need and was spacious enough for us to gather together but had cozy areas for anyone who wanted a little quiet time by themselves.

Wonderfully pet friendly with amenities including dog bowls and a tie out.Beautifully decorated property. Lovely amenities including a welcome note, comfy outdoor seating, coffee and toiletries for the shower. Many extra amenities not often included in a VRBO.Comfortable couches, plenty of seating for a group and really comfortable beds with blackout curtains for ease of sleeping in. Games, throw blankets, extra toiletries for anything guests may have forgotten were wonderful touches for any family or group spending time here.

We loved our stay at the Snowy Owl! The property is beautiful and a perfect place to stay as a family with little ones. The hosts are so kind and answered all questions quickly. There are so many small touches that made this property great - white noise machines in each room, a foldable play house for the kids, water dish and tie out for my brother’s dog, a bin of commonly forgotten things to use if needed (toothbrushes, phone chargers, even a few diapers.) We loved the outdoor seating with the lights and fireplace. It’s a short drive to Big Spring Falls - which s a gorgeous place to hike/hang out by the water. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

We (6 adults)attended a concert at a nearby casino and couldn't find any available rooms there or anywhere nearby. So when we found this listing on Vrbo, we were thrilled. We booked for two nights. The Snowy Owl Barn is just as described: Spacious main level with 3 BR upstairs. 1.5 baths. The beds were very comfy. It was very clean. We grilled steaks one night on the deck. It had a nicely appointed kitchen. Would highly recommend this place!

Amazing Place

The barn is beautiful! With all the amenities you’ll need to be comfortable, the home has high end furnishings in a peaceful setting. The wooded lot is VERY private and quiet- the firepit was a highlight for all. The grandkids had fun exploring the forest. The public beach is walkable/bikeable from the house and the lake is clean and swimmable. Plenty of frogs and critters were caught by the grandkids and it kept them occupied for hours. When we weren’t outside, we had plenty to do inside with all the games available including a pool table, ping pong and foosball. We had plenty of space for a large family. Can’t wait to stay again!

This was easily the nicest rental we’ve had for our annual girls’ weekend. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the hosts put a lot of thought into making the space comfortable and welcoming. The attention to detail was evident in every room. The house was spotless, the kitchen had everything we needed with quality cookware and sharp knives, and the living room was spacious enough for all seven of us to relax together. The washer and dryer was also very convenient. The bedrooms were cozy with very comfortable beds, blackout curtains, ceiling fans, personal fans, night lights, and even sound machines—perfect for a great night’s sleep. The upstairs bathroom was beautiful with a large tub and rain shower, and we loved the little touches throughout the home that made it feel so thoughtfully prepared for guests. The hosts were also incredibly responsive and helpful.We enjoyed the outdoor seating, the grill, and especially the short walk to Grindstone Lake for swimming and exploring. Listening to barred owls in the evening made the experience even more special.One note for future guests: all bedrooms are upstairs, and the front entrance has a single step without a railing, which may be something to keep in mind for those with mobility concerns. That said, the couches were very comfortable for sleeping if needed.Overall, this property was outstanding, and we would happily stay again.

Relaxing Retreat with Thoughtful Touches and Nearby Outdoor Adventures

I stayed at this beautiful home with friends while attending a conference at the Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center, and it exceeded all expectations. The home is thoughtfully designed, providing everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. They truly go the extra mile for comfort—from the upper bathroom's soak tub complete with Epsom salts, to the lower bathroom's tray of essentials in case you forgot something. The bedroom with two beds even has a stylish divider curtain, offering some privacy if needed. There’s plenty of parking, and the check-in process was a breeze. I also appreciated the quick and clear communication throughout the stay. The foosball and pool tables added a fun touch—plus, the pool table cleverly converts into a dining table! The upstairs sitting area was a nice retreat, and the kitchen was well-stocked, including a blender perfect for making protein shakes. I loved the thoughtful lighting touches, like the beautifully lit front steps and the cozy backyard string lights. The campfire ring in the back was a fun feature too. As for things to do, the Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center offers public hiking trails, and nearby attractions like Grindstone Lake, Banning State Park, the Minnesota Goose Garden, and Big Spring Falls Trailhead provide plenty of outdoor adventures. This home is a perfect mix of style, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommend and I'd love to visit again!

The snowy barn owl is exactly what you see! The attention to detail was amazing, Aaron and Lisa provided everything you possibly could need and they were super through & responsive. This place was in a perfect location to the lake so it made it ideal for our family vacation. I highly recommend this place and will certainly book again in the future.
