Great location, very comfortable home that had everything we needed. We appreciated having a garage and were able to walk to a great coffee shop, restaurant and parks in a nice friendly neighborhood.
Communication was excellent. We enjoyed the coziness of the house and it had all the amenities we needed. We appreciated the little things like outlets right next to the beds and plenty of kitchen necessities. Beds were comfortable too! We left something behind and making arrangements to pick it up a couple days later was very easy and smooth. Would recommend!
Ed and Heather were very helpful and knowledgeable with questions we had. Grandma’s cottage was furnished with everything we needed and in a great location close to everything
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We really loved that it was like going to our grandma's house. Felt like home. A nice walk to Utipils which we enjoyed a few nights. Easy drive to shopping and bike rides around the lakes. We also liked the little pizza place down the street.
Spacious. Clean. Wonderful neighborhood in walking distance of so many things. Being able to do laundry is a plus. Communication with owner was wonderful! Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much! We enjoyed having you and hope to host you again in the future!
Met some friends from the internet here for Twin Cities Con, as we hosted a panel there together. Had an absolute blast. What a great location, close to everything, but far enough away where it's still quiet. Definitely staying here next year!

I booked this for family to stay at during the holidays. Ed was a great communicator about some updates going on at the house and made sure everything would work for us still. The house was perfect for hosting a large group and had a very well stocked kitchen.
Visiting Minneapolis for a wedding with our adult kids - this was the perfect home base for our trip. The home was spotless, and in a great neighborhood for walking and grabbing a coffee at the local cafe.
The place couldn't have been any more perfect for our party. Very accommodating and well furnished. The owner was flexible with a requested change. We will stay here again if the opportunity arises.
