The home was very spacious, clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable as well as the couches for reading and relaxing in the evenings.The owner communicated excellently before and during the stay which was appreciated as I was driving a long distance for this stay and knowing details about my arrival was great. The backyard being fenced was an plus and I enjoyed the quiet neighborhood where I could walk my dog. It was close to amenities and there was plenty of parking. I would stay here again if traveling for work in the same area!
We chose this place because it had many good reviews. However, we didnât find it so great. On the positive side, it is a good-sized house with four bedrooms and had more than one bathroom.However, the downstairs had a very strong litterbox odor that really hits you as you descend the staircase. We suffered through that smell for four nights. Ugh! The rules said to sort the trash into garbage, recyclables, and organic waste. We were ok doing this, but the recyclable bin was more than half full when we arrived and the organic waste bucket that was supposedly on the kitchen counter, wasnât. Also, the rules said that we would find laundry baskets in the bedroom closets for dirty towels. There werenât. Perhaps the rules should be updated, especially given that the host sends you a message telling you to make sure you abide by the rules. The oven was filthy and there was only ONE dishwasher tab left for a four-night stay and I refused to buy more, especially after having to buy toilet tissue. There were no laundry baskets for dirty towels (ref. the rules) and extra bed linens were just tossed on the floor in closets. And then there was the cockroach in the downstairs bath. Sorry, but I expect more when renting through a site like VRBO. And one last note for the hosts â the upstairs bath tub drains very slowly. You also have a broken hinge on the cabinet door by the sliding glass doors in the kitchen (we found it broken when we arrived.)
Wonderful place to stay. We come to MN every year and always stay here. If you come in the summer and have young children, this location is great, right across from a large park with a wading pool and play ground.
Quiet neighborhood and beautiful home! Plenty of space for sleep and privacy but also to get together in 2 different living areas. Joe was very communicative and a great host! Great place to stay for small or larger group.
Our daughter lives in the Upper North neighborhood in Minneapolis. For previous visits we have stayed in a hotel near her apartment. This visit, we were staying a bit longer and bringing family, so a house made more sense for us. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. Joe was quick to answer any question and it was easy to find anything we needed. We loved the neighborhood and took walks every morning. The location offered easy access to dining and retail options, and the drive downtown was easy, too. Because of torrential rains the previous week, there were some wet spots in a basement bedroom. Joe shared details up front and there was a dehumidifier to help with the moisture. Unfortunately there was an odor but candles helped to minimize it. There were plenty of towels and bedding, with a washer and dryer in the basement. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and glassware, and the appliances were good quality. The basement TV room was a comfy place to relax. There is only streaming available, no cable, so while limiting for us it was fine for our daughter to choose programs. Very minor, tho! Overall, great communication, comfortable spaces, beautiful location. Small town feel with easy access to the big city!
This property was perfect for our multi-aged family to use - lots of bedrooms and beds and plenty of living space! The yard was fenced for our dog, as well. The neighborhood is quiet, a nice area about 10-15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. The kids in our trip were especially excited for the playground and (free) wading pool across the street! Joe was very helpful with booking our stay and making sure things were clear and positive for our trip. We will definitely recommend this location to anyone traveling to the Minneapolis area.
Quiet neighborhood near great park, restaurants, breweries, groceries etc. friendly neighbors. Liked the alley parking at the back of property. Had Grands with us-fenced in back yard and Waite Park with wading pool across the street perfect! Open basement stairs with crawling baby kept us on our toes.
Our stay in MN was wonderful! The house provided a quaint place to gather with good friends. The two floors allowed our families to keep our normal routines. The location of the house was great for our needs. The host was professional and quick to communicate. There were a few frustrations: the bunk bed in the basement was a bit unsafe, a missing smoke detector in a bedroom basement, a few unclean dishes, and a pair of undies in one of the beds.
From booking to checkout, Joe was quick to respond and easy to work with. The property was perfect for 4 employees in the area for a 3 day project. If and when we are back in the area, we would definitely stay at this property again.
The home was perfect for what we needed! The two living areas were great to be able to have separate spaces. The kitchen was great and the basement was a perfect hangout. Happy with the location with stores minutes away and easy access to the highway. Would definitely stay again!
This is a very beautiful property as advertised! I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy, roomy, comfortable place to call HOME for a few days!!!
This VRBO was spotless from top to bottom, with every corner carefully cleaned and well-maintained.
Our host Joe was exceptionalâthoughtful, communicative, and genuinely welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed and were always available for questions or recommendations. Itâs clear they put a lot of care into ensuring guests have the best possible experience. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-hosted getaway!
Our family rented this property for a wedding in the cities. The check-in process was easy, the keypad worked great, the fenced in back yard was wonderful for our dogs, there was plenty of street parking, there were more than enough beds for our group and the host was easy to communicate with.
We loved our stay at this house in Minneapolis. There is so much space for many people to stay comfortably. The neighborhood is quiet and the park across the street was amazing for our kids. We enjoyed the community splash pad and wading pool everyday! The host was quick to respond to a change in our group size and the house was ready for our arrival. Lots of great local food options - The Dive Bar and Grill, Parkway Pizza and Sara Jane's Bakery were all great!
