Great home close to Lanesboro

This was such a comfortable home for our group of friends! We visit Lanesboro to ride on the bike trail each year. The location was great! The parking lot for the trail was less than a mile down the road. This updated home was perfect for us. Good living room, dining room, and kitchen area for gathering. Plenty of bedrooms and baths. Beautifully furnished. We loved it!

Family gathering

Irish Ridge was. Everything we could have asked for. The property is in an attractive location with farm fields on three sides but with plenty of maintained yard space to use for games. Easily accommodated 5 teens and 8 adults. 5 minutes to Lonsdale, and a short drive to Preston, Harmony, and fountain. Everyone enjoyed it.

Excellent spot when visiting Lanesboro

We had a group of 4 couples in town for biking. This house was perfect. There was plenty of space and we could have definitely added a 5th couple comfortably. The owners thought of everything and the house was well stocked with basics. There's even a huge water heater to ensure everyone has a hot shower! Communication was easy and we had no issues. We are already talking about returning next year. The house is about a mile outside of town on the highway so riding bikes to town is not realistic but the trailhead with tons of parking is very close.

Fireflies and Yard Games

We used this as a central location for work colleagues to meet for a planning meeting. Property was amazing- lots of space to collaborate. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and made preparing meals for our group of 6 very easy. The yard is great- enough space for yard games, star gazing and bonfires. Only a mile to Lansboro made taking a break and walking the town convenient. Great space.

Great stay!

Everything was terrific. Kristi was great to work with and the place was great - super clean, lots of space and plenty of towels and dishes for our crew of 12. We had wonderful fall weather and amazingly clear night skies which made for perfect stargazing! We’d definitely return.

Gorgeous farmhouse on the outskirts of town

I can’t say enough about this property and our stay! The home was immaculate, the outside space was just gorgeous! Plenty of room for the kids to run and play, with huge windows overlooking the backyard. Huge open kitchen/living/dining area! And a mile from the bike trails! We will definitely be returning!

Family trip

We had three generations gathering for a long weekend. The space was perfect for our needs. The main floor was great for gathering, there were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate us comfortably, the basement kept the kids and young adults entertained when it rained and the yard was the setting of an epic Nerf battle. Definitely recommend this place!

Irish Ridge Retreat is Great!

The property is extremely well located for a getaway weekend in SE MN. Just down the hill is Lanesboro - which is a very quaint and unique town. The property has plenty of room for a good sized group in the house and there is plenty of room on the property for outside lawn games. The bed was comfortable and everything worked. Enjoyed the wildlife (saw deer, rabbits and squirrels). Kristi was a pleasure to work with! We will most likely stay here again in the future.

This was a perfect house for our annual Memorial Weekend get together. We had 9 adults and 3 children. The house was spacious and well equipped. It was great to be close to town yet isolated at the house.
