Large multilevel house in an awesome location. The screen porch was fantastic.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Aug, 2026
Thank you for your awesome review. Our family also enjoys the views from the screen porch and the opportunities it provides for watching wildlife behavior. The location of our home is special between two lakes one with water recreation, the other with a variety of ball games and a 100 acres part reserve with trails through woods and prairies.
I cannot say enough about Florence and her kindness to my family over our stay. She went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed and truly cared about our experience and time in her home. The space in the house, proximity to restaurants and activities, and beautiful property were perfect for our family. Thank you for the wonderful family memories!

Thank you for such a heartfelt review! We're so glad the space, location, and overall experience made for a memorable family stay. It truly means a lot to hear that the home and its proximity to restaurants and activities worked out so well for you. Wishing your family many more wonderful memories ahead!
This a very unique property on five acres in a great location with ample space for our extended family of ten. The house had some interesting spaces including a large windowed sitting room off the master bedroom, a wonderful screened porch, and a large basement rec room with outside access to the back yard. The location near Lone Lake Park and Shady Oak Beach had easy access to downtown and 18 minutes from MSP airport. Property owners communications were excellent.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad this unique five-acre property had the space and character to comfortably host your extended family, from the sitting room and screened porch to the basement rec room with easy backyard access. It's great to hear the location near Lone Lake Park and Shady Oak Beach worked out well, with quick access to downtown and MSP airport. We appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed, 5-star experience.
Very spacious for my family of 11! Beautiful property with visits from wild deer, turkeys, and bunnies.Easy to entertain, many places to dine. Spaces to get away and be by one's self. Walking in the neighborhood was beautiful.Florence was very hospitable and thorough and stayed in communication. My family also agreed. I would definitely return if we vacation in this area again! It is also a great place to get away to without any other plans because the house and neighborhood have enoigh to enjoy and relax in itself!

What a wonderful trip to hear about! We're so glad the space was spacious and comfortable for your family of 11, and that you got to enjoy visits from the local wildlife and beautiful neighborhood walks. It sounds like you found the perfect balance of things to do and quiet spots to relax. So happy the communication and hospitality throughout your stay made things easy for everyone.
The house worked great for our family of 11. There was plenty of space for everyone. The house has a cool vibe, but it was pretty dirty when we got there. It had been awhile since it had been cleaned. The furniture in the living room is also not very com-fortable and I understand they plan to replace it -- hopefully soon. Nice, helpful hosts who just need a new cleaning service.

We're glad the house had enough space to comfortably fit your family of 11 and that you enjoyed its vibe. We're sorry the cleanliness wasn't up to our standard at check-in, and we're taking that seriously. We've put the cleaning team on notice that more attention to detail is required, added a checklist with verbal verification after each reset, and are looking into an independent cleanliness inspector to help maintain a consistently high standard. On the living room furniture, we've decided to replace it with a similar style featuring more comfortable cushions and are currently saving for that purchase while checking availability. We appreciate the feedback and are committed to making sure future guests have a better experience from the moment they walk in.
From the owner: "Hi Bonnie, we are so glad to know your stay at our family home was relaxing for you and your sisters. That is our mission, exactly,--relax, renew, refresh, and reconnect. We liked your kind suggestions and welcome you back whenever you and your sisters are gathering! Or, whenever you and your friends and or other family are gathering together."
Our family came out to Minneapolis for a family wedding and stayed in this home for the weekend. It was just great, roomy, well-located and comfortable. The owner was incredibly helpful and gracious and worked hard to make sure stay went well. The house fit our needs well and the screened-in porch was just lovely for early morning breakfasts. Everything was easy and just really comfortable.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this home! The home is in a really nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard for family activities. We had more than enough room and appreciated the overall comfort. The hostess Florence was extremely helpful and kind. I would highly recommend this home and hope to book it again for my next family gathering!
This location was a perfect place for our families to gather and relax while visiting the twin cities to attend events with extended family. There was great space for the children to play and a well equipped kitchen for meals together. The outdoor space is private, spacious and well tended. We enjoyed the nearby hiking trails & recreational areas of Lone Lake Park.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The main disappointment is that the photos on VRBO do NOT match the condition of the house at all. The flooring and furniture in the living/dining room are stained, dirty, and very worn out. Items in the kitchen that were indicated as for our use, were beyond the expiration date. Way beyond. All 6 of the women in our party were disappointed and felt that the conditions had a negative impact on our friends weekend. We have been using VRBO for years and this was our biggest disappointment. We would not recommend this home.
