*It is a very lovely home. The interior is just as described, newly renovated. Our party of 6 adults had plenty of room, even with only 2 bathrooms. It is very close to Minneapolis and St. Paul. The neighborhood is very safe. The outside does need work. A good coat of paint and some landscaping will do the trick. *The down side- the lock combo would not let us in, after about an hour of phone calls to the homeowner and VRBO, the combo was reset with no further problems. *Be prepared to do some house cleaning: The trash from the previous guests was still in the trash cans. The bathtub was full of grass, looked like someone washed their feet or shoes and it was not cleaned. *Lamps are needed in bedrooms and in the living areas. *TV remote will not turn of TV, you must unplug it. * Window curtains are only in the bedrooms. The common area windows have sheer curtains, including the bathroom. We hung a towel over it since the back yard neighbors could look straight in at us. *You MUST bring and not provided: wash cloths/face towels, soap, and paper towels. * reason for a 4 star rating is simply based on the lack cleanliness of the kitchen and bath room. It made me wonder if the house had been cleaned at all before we arrived. As well as the lack of curtains for privacy. ****It is definitely a place that we will stay again.

nice place outside could use some tlc

Overall the home was nice and it was perfect for our group of 7. The bunk room was perfect for the four kiddos and all the beds were very comfortable. The inside was newly renovated but the outside appears to be a work in progress but that did not affect us at all! Here are some pros and cons. Pros: -location was great about 5 min from MOA, 15 from the outlet malls and about 25-30 from Valley Fair -nice bath towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner all provided -full size washer and dryer -large downstairs living area and upstairs as well -large refrigerator -great communication with the host Cons: -very limited kitchen supplies (no toaster and limited utensils). However, this did not bother us as we brought sandwich making stuff and didn’t plan on cooking this trip. -no wash cloths -even though the main level living room was large, it needs to be rearranged so when lounging on the couch you can see the tv. This is a newer rental and I’m sure over time more things will be added to the home. Over all the home is in a quiet neighborhood and fulfilled all our needs! We would stay her again for sure!

The furnishings were new, comfortable and clean. Plenty of seating. Nicely updated interior and decor. Brand new, huge refrigerator. As an older house there were a few minor drawbacks including no way to close the air vents, some interior doors were difficult to close and the exterior of the house hadn’t been updated yet-but none of these were a real problem for us. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Dead-end, quiet street allowed our kids to play catch in the street without traffic to worry about. The owner responded promptly and courteously.

House was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Items needed in the kitchen such as water glasses and mixing bowls. But overall, I would stay again at the house!

Loved everything about this house so cute and cozy
