Comfortable Home

This house was very comfortable for me and my son while I was moving him into college. The location was great. I enjoyed the kitchen and large washing machine. We also got a lot of use out of the Pac Man machine and basement family room with a large TV.

Very well appointed

This home is so charming and has everything you might need for a weekend away, with extra special touches placed throughout. Our ONLY complaint is that we really need a second bathroom for our party size (obviously the listing says one bathroom, and we knew that when booking, it just presented challenges for us).

Ms. Pacman tournament

This is a lovely little cottage in a nice residential neighborhood. My husband and I stayed Memorial Day weekend with our 3 20-something kids to celebrate the oldest's birthday. The boys were able to walk for coffee and pastries in the mornings and one night we walked to get ice cream. Nice finished basement with a vintage Ms. Pacman that everyone got a kick out of. Would def recommend this one.

Weekend visit

We stayed in this home for a weekend visit with our son. It was a lovely home, with plenty of room for the three of us and three guests for dinner. It is in a good location, with plenty of areas to walk and enjoy the outdoors. The host was very helpful with all questions and shared information about good dining options. We enjoyed a great meal at IE at his suggestion!

This is a great location especially for us. Lovely neighbors. The property manager makes everything so easy with booking and he even was immediately available for a minor problem created by me. Suggestions: Upon arriving, enter from the alley and remove your items from the car. Then please park your car in front of the home. And please defrost the freezer. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to stay again. AM Bailey

Perfect spot for graduation weekend

This spot was perfect for our family of six to get together to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Macalester. The house was lovely, very clean, comfortable, peaceful and perfect for gathering (loved the plants too). Like home, the kitchen was the gathering spot and there was plenty of space for everyone to sit, eat and talk for hours. A memorable stay for us all.

Perfect Family rental

Property was just as described. The house was clean and perfect for a family gathering for college graduation. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay there again. One item to note is the beds in the main level bedrooms were tall. Made it difficult for my elderly parents and my not so mobile brother to get into the beds. Otherwise the house was perfect.
