It was clean but the bathroom is situated so weird it is hard to use and there are no extra blankets. The garage is only for cars and small suvs and this needs to be noted.

We’re pleased to hear that you found the home clean. We appreciate your feedback, as we’re sorry the size of the bathroom and garage caught you off guard. We are looking into what happened with the extra blankets to ensure they are available for all guests, and we will also look into updating our listing to better communicate these details moving forward. Thank you for helping us improve the experience for our future guests.

Great location

The location is an easy walk to Crosby and Ironton and a short ride to trails. The garage is a great amenity because you don’t need your car. The house has a good size kitchen and dining space but the bedrooms and bathrooms are tiny with no fans in the bathrooms or functioning windows.

Great stay for 2 families (4 adults amd 4 kids). Rooms and bathrooms are small but it adds to the charm of the gnome house. Dog-friendly with fenced in yard!Great spot for walking trips for donuts, coffee, candy, ice cream, shopping, and parks on top of the bike trails. Really close to everything but quiet too! Upstairs can get warm but each room has great fans in ceiling and tabletop. Having the garage for safe bike storage was a huge plus!

Fat bike trip

House worked great for our 6 guys in Cuyuna to ride the winter trails. House was clean and warm upon arrival. Check in was super smooth. House is within walking distance of downtown Crosby with food and brewery options and also within riding distance to the main trail head. Management was very responsive. Fully recommend the gnome home.

Pricing was decent but the house was not nearly as clean as others we have stayed at in the past. Sleeping areas were good and location was nice but we expected to hang out in the yard at night and it still had last years leaves and hasn’t been mowed, so we didn’t get to hang outside at the property the whole three day stay which is something we look forward to quite a bit. Had issues getting into the house at check in as I got two emails regarding my code for the door and neither worked so had to contact them and they did respond very quickly. Most will have a welcome sign with suggestions on what to do in the area or a decent coffee set up. They did supply Folgers but most of the cups were chipped and there were no add ins. Still a decent stay but wale were a little bummed as the pictures were very deceiving.

Nice weekend

Stayed with family.. was a nice stay. House is as shown in photos. Nice area. Bathrooms are small but functional... shower curtain had no liner so shower curtain just got wet. No screens on bathroom window... was no fan so opened window a bit for ventilation. Nice fridge..kitchen well stocked with essentials. Was a pleasant stay.

Pictures attached…Have you ever visited a property and wondered if the sheets were clean? If you do, this is the property for you! This property had food splattered, yes splattered, throughout the kitchen, there were dirty keleenx, socks and a full container of cashews on of the bunk beds. how is that missed if the bed was stripped and cleaned?! Oven looked recently used, food crumbs remaining and dirty stove top. Back door look like a very dirty dog clawed at it for years. We opened the window for fresh air and it the dining room window had INCHES DEEP in dead bugs. How is that missed? The majority of the window did not have screens. Headboard was broken in one of the bedrooms. I brought all concerns to the managing company and was refunded less than the 191.00 cleaning fee I paid. Frustrating experience.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention, Melissa. We are deeply sorry that the cleanliness and condition of the home did not meet our high standards, and we completely understand your frustration. We have addressed these issues directly with our cleaning partners to ensure these oversights do not happen again, and we are working to address the window screens and headboard immediately. We always encourage guests to reach out to our local contact during their stay so we can dispatch a team to fix any issues on the spot. Please note that we did fully authorize a complete refund of your cleaning fee on our end to help make this right. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and we wish you better travels ahead.
