Communication was fantastic with the owner. The house is incredibly well stocked with games, ever kitchen item you could ever need, coffee and teas, and plenty of extra linens. It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. There is a beach and restaurants very close. We would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much!! ##### Shana A.

Spacious with ample amenities. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with extra toiletries just in case. Beds were comfy and soft linens. Fridge was stocked with cold water and chocolate treats. Loads of dishes and supplies to make your own meals. I made 2 dinners with ease. Used the wok too! I don't even have one at home. Walking distance to center of Forest Lake. We used the cute beach and ate at Mallards. Block away was the laundromat which we needed after a tough mudder. Fabulous stay! ##### Larey B.

We had three generations of family at this house and it worked out perfectly! It was actually kind of nice to have all separate beds but still nine beds total and three separate rooms. This amazingly old, homey feeling home had a wonderful charm to it. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint but it was within less than an hour from main attractions in Minneapolis. Plenty of clean towels and linens, coffee, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom, cute touches of flowers in vases and truffles on side tables, the only grievance was there was only one frying pan and it was a smaller one. We made it work though! We highly recommend this beautiful house in an awesome area of Minnesota. ##### Tyla N.

This was the perfect place to do all of that! It is an older home that has been updated but with respect to the age of the house. Everything was very clean. We each had a 6' table to use and felt like we had plenty of space for our supplies. The kitchen was really well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. It also has a large table so we could all sit together. Having a ramp to bring in all of our crafting items was also a bonus. The owner was super and it was easy to communicate with her. It was simple to check-in and check-out. It felt like there were little extras that made our stay so comfortable. We all loved it so much that we plan to be back later this year! ##### Kathy D.
