This guest confirms this rather poor star rating was left by mistake and indicated they’ll be calling support to fix it. They had a great stay

Stayed in this adorable house for a weekend rather than camping at a music festival. It was perfect for me! Lucas responded right away and answered my questions. Tried to book for next year, but the house is already booked out for the weekend I need. Would love to stay here again!

This house was exactly what I needed for my quick stop in Albert Lea. It was clean and cozy, with all of the amenities I needed. Off-street parking was a nice perk. Luke was quick to respond to anything I needed and made me feel very welcome. Would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area!

The hosts were welcoming, and the house was in really good shape.Despite the generally cold weather, we stayed warm and cozy in this stylistic modern/ranch setting.The bed slept warm which was perfect for the time we were there.This place is only like 2 minutes from a nice little pub/restaurant, and there’s a Hardee’s near by, so while we were packing up we were able to quickly pop over and grab some gravy biscuits.It was too cold in the moment, but next time we stay, we’ll make sure to visit the Buddy Holly crash site (30 minutes south).

Had all that we needed in a quiet peaceful neighborhood during a short visit out of town. Short walk to playground and aquatic center. The county fair was going on during our visit which we took advantage of. The house itself was very cozy and clean.

Easy getaway

We loved our stay at this property with everything we needed to cook our own food or easy convenience to explore great local restaurants. Very responsive host and fun to see the extensive renovations they have done to the home through a book they have available. A wonderful stay overall!
