It smelled a little musty when first entering the house. The parking in back was a little tight and the neighbors across the street were doing work on their house so a truck and attached trailer were parked at the curb making it a little more challenging for us to back out.

You can not beat the location of this property. So close to the beach...but the climb back to the house is only for youngsters. I personally love old houses and this one is certainly an old house. Squeaky floors, stuck drawers, glass door knobs that pull off, and maybe even a ghost. (My grandkids swear that there is a ghost?) Check in and Check out were easy. Some mattresses where great and others not so good. Would I book this house again, no. But we sure had fun gathering all my kids and grandkids together. The lake water was clear, the days hot, and a bunch of wild grandkids....life doesn't get any better than that!

Very cozy

I rented this home for a sisters getaway. It really is a great space for a relaxing weekend. My sisters noted that the shower curtains had pink mold and the grout needed a good cleaning, thus the 4 stars. The kitchen was well stocked, although the knives could be better with more variety. I would rent again!

Accommodations are great in the gem of a house. Multiple bedrooms was a plus. Just a heads up, there are steps to get into the front or back door. Not a deal breaker for our group but could be in a few years!

Great stay

My family and I loved staying in this house! It had a wonderful location and was so clean. The house fit our needs perfectly and we adored the front porch. My Mom and I sat out there a lot. The side deck was nice with the umbrella and view of the lake. The kids had plenty of space to play and relax. We walked around the neighborhood every day and down to the beach, the kids didn’t want to leave. When we come back we would stay here again.

Hidden Treasure

Our family really enjoyed staying at this property! It is a beautiful home that sits in the middle of a family-friendly neighborhood and is within walking distance of two beaches. There was plenty of room in the house for our entire family (all 8 of us!). The host responded quickly to any questions. We're already looking at dates to come back!

Great place for a family gathering

An historic house on a peaceful and quiet street. The house has a very large front room, dining room and kitchen. These worked well for our family members from different states as we talked and spent time together. The house is a cute, historic bungalow that has been remodeled to have modern amenities. The gardens are nice and it is conveniently located for our needs.

Great!

My family had a wonderful time at Jane's White Bear Lake House. The house was comfortable and had plenty of space to accommodate gatherings with our local Minnesota relatives. Jane checked in with us during the week to make sure we had everything we needed and even helped us rent a kayak and paddle board for our kids to use on the lake. We hope to return again!
