Stayed 15 nights in Aug 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie A. 20 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house was really great for a large group. There was 6 adults and a 1 year old. Had all the utensils and kitchen wear to cook our meals. Its location was about 15-20 min. from things like Mall of America, Scheel's and other shopping. We went with our boats and did some fishing on Christmas Lake and caught 30-60 bluegills on each of the 3 days we went fishing. Plenty of bedding and bathrooms are nice. Supplies well available.One of our concerns was the house has a lot of furniture, dining room difficult to get around table once everyone is seated, living room does not have comfortable seating, most of it needs to be replaced. Outdoors the walkway is rather treacherous with misc. mats and such to get to house, too many tripping hazzards.Overall we enjoyed our stay. ##### Debbie A. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas K. 8 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Great location It was ok. It sleeps 14 if you use all the sofa, futon and trundles but it did not have enough space for everyone to gather in one room. The dining room is dark and way too much furniture that is not useable. Some of the bedroom storage was already filled with items(maybe if the homeowner). Some of the closets with extra bedding had a mildew smell so didn’t use it. Overall it worked but my advice to the owner would be to make the furniture more purposeful and not just to fill the space with useless things. The owner was slow to respond and when I requested to change my dates i felt ignored and ended up paying for nights I didn’t need. Communication with the owner was terrible. The yard is nice with tables and umbrellas with a bbq. Kitchen was clean and had spices and some staples. Great location for just about everything. ##### Thomas K.

Dirty, cluttered, smelly, no response from owner I wish I could post pictures. This property is not cleaned or maintained. Antiques replaced with garage-sale cast offs. Owner contacted immediately but never responded. Booked five night but couldn’t take it after one night. -Boxes of booze bottles and other trash in driveway - Rotting pumpkin outside entry door - Food-stained kitchen cupboards and oven - Oven door dripping with some milky substance - Mildew smell pervading house - Used shampoo bottles in bathrooms with soap dripping down sides - Used, grimy bath toys on tub rims - Pubic hair on bathroom wall! - Bedroom with mahogany 4-poster bed with sleep number mattress? Nope. Sagging mattress on plain old bed frame. That bedroom had a refrigerator, hot plate and some kind of warming tray. Looks like someone is squatting here.

Great suburban location with great access to the highlights of Mpls area. Comfortable home as pictured. Nice spacious back yard and nice outdoor spaces. Well functioning air conditioning and water pressure. ##### Mark P.

The house is really warm, cozy and relaxing. I can tell that the owner has put a lot of efforts in decorating the house, in an old fashion that young generation would never appreciate. My family loved it and felt like home. We texted Jim before arriving, asking for a Christmas tree. When we got there, the tree was up with lights turned on. On a heavy snow night, we messaged Jan for some plumbing issue, she sent Mr. Appleby to resolve the problem right away. They responded to the request quickly. The house is at a cul de sac in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed family walk after every dinner. We are so happy that we made a good choice for this good location, nice neighborhood, reasonable pricing, cozy house for Christmas. Thank you Jan and Jim for the host. Ping ans family ##### PC C.

If you are paying a cleaning fee, you would expect to arrive to a clean house. The grounds are not well taken care of and foliage is overgrown. The photos listed do not accurately display the condition of the home and property. There was a bee's nest in the backyard and 2 of our family members were badly stung. Hazards as such should be professionally removed for the safety of visitors. There is lots of clutter on the grounds (7 grills - many of them did not work so I didnt understand why they were all there) and many unnecessary pieces of furniture in bedrooms and living spaces that made it feel cluttered. There were also no check out instructions listed. Good things about this place is that it could easily fit a large family and the host was responsive but we do not have plans to stay here again. ##### Laura A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Missy R. 21 May 2019 #### Great, would stay here again! This property met our needs for our family weekend event perfectly. The outdoor patio was perfect for grilling, dining, and an evening camp fire. On-line photos don't begin to show the charm the house has and large common spaces. ##### Missy R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Emilie J. 13 May 2019 #### Issues with cleanliness Floors were not clean in any area. Dust, food crumbs, coin, etc. Dishes and silverware needed to be washed before being used. Property could be beautiful but needs a complete cleaning and removal of excess clutter. No checkout instructions. If I pay a cleaning fee I would expect a clean space upon arrival. ##### Emilie J. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mary B. 20 Sept 2018 #### Good sleeping areas and a lot of TVs. Not quite ready when we arrived but it turned out well. ##### Mary B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie O. 18 Jun 2018 #### This home met all our needs for our family gathering of 6 adults and 4 young children We had a good family gathering at this "home away." The house was clean and the yard offered good space for toddlers to run and play. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Beds were comfortable for all to sleep on. Kitchen was well equipped. Thank you for letting us use your "home away" for our family gathering. Inside the house was more "crowded" with furniture than pictures showed, especially the lower level. The family room/recreation room in the lower level was so packed with furniture and assorted beds (including queen bed, some sort of sofa bed, and futon) that it was difficult to walk around the room. It offered no space for people to sit and talk. Otherwise, the home was a relaxing and safe place for 3 generations of our family to gather, ages 64 to 9 months. ##### Stephanie O. Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geri M. 23 May 2018 #### Cozy home with tons of charm. Loved this property! The neighborhood is beautiful, and the yard is absolutely charming! This is a very sweet home completely stocked with everything you could ever need. Jim was very responsive and so kind, he was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely stay there again! ##### Geri M.
