Bed and breakfast suite at the Wooded Retreat

The "wooded retreat" is an excellent description, especially if you savour natural gardens and sun-dappled woodland. The accommodation is on the 1st floor, spacious and comfortable, with attractive garden views from the bedroom and balcony. The bathroom works well. The hosts have successfully created a suite that is eclectic, attractive and comfortable. We appreciated the breakfast - muesli packs, eggs and rolls. The minimal kitchen facilities in the suite were fine for us as we had planned to try out Pine City and Hinckley restaurants, only 20-minutes away. We would come again.

Although on site, our hosts communicated almost exclusively by text-message and written information; a pity as we sensed they would have been really interesting to chat with (of course, not to be expected with AirBnB). We also missed, until after we had left, the hosts' very welcoming message inviting us to use the fire-pit. And we were uncertain whether we were permitted to use the ground floor kitchen facilities to wash-up (we did). But these are small complaints: mainly a matter of communication. The muesli was actually out-of-date; and the breakfast though good, would have been enhanced by fresh fruit.

Stayed in the upper level in the Wooded Retreat. This place was beautiful and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The whole property is unique as it has tiny cabins for rent as well which are spaced out nicely. The attention to detail on this property is something I have never experienced before. Deb and Paul were a delight and Deb took the time to give my friend and I a tour of the property. My only regret is that we didn't book two nights. Even got farm fresh hard boiled eggs and yogurt and sour dough bread for breakfast! So close to Minneapolis but yet so far. This is the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. Looking forward for my return!

Loved everything.

Beautiful and well-equipped. The setting was peaceful, amid the trees and with nice flowers, and the home was pretty and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, the tub and bath salts great for a soak, and the little porch pleasant for sitting and sipping a hot beverage. The drink and snack drawer was a thoughtful touch. The property was a short drive from the highway and easily accessible. The spa/gym in another building looked nice, though we didn’t use it.

I like the ambiance. I traveled for work so I didn't get to experience the whole vacation thing.

Spelling out exactly which cabin I was supposed to be staying in. The bathroom water pressure was very disappointing! Let alone not very hot. After a long day I would have at least loved to have taken a decent shower.. there's mold on the woodwork in the bathroom so that's not a good sign.
