The house was exactly as described. Every accessory needed was there; charcoal grill, bonfire pit for samores, shed to store bikes, everything needed in the kitchen for utensils, spices etc. There is AC, it was hot weather and we were comfortable. The 2 bedrooms upstairs and the one downstairs had a staircase that could be a challenge if you have mobility issues. We 4 are in our seventies and stairs were not a problem at all. I didn't actually see the owner (Tammy) but I knew her from previous rentals with her. Check-in and check-out were easy and smooth, keys were in a lock box as she told us in e-mail. We rode the trail to Lanesboro for a dinner and breakfast, perfect distance. Also rode to Peterson round trip. The house location is perfect for access to the trail and the Whalen pie shop. Would highly recommend this house especially if you plan to bike the trail.

The house and setting was perfect for our family. The owners have done an amazing job restoring the house. It is beautiful - very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed being out in nature, just off a park in Whalen. Our daughter is already talking about coming back next year. Thanks for the great weekend get-away!

Very convenient for our biking weekend . House clean it was just right for our plans

The house was fine but nothing special. We did not know that the second bathroom and a bedroom were in the basement. Two more bedrooms were upstairs, but no upstairs bathroom. There was minimal silver ware and no glasses that seemed usable. We bought glasses to use. The Coffee pot did not work. We notified the owner on the 2nd day and she brought her coffee pot to the house while we were out biking. We were there to bike mostly so we made it work. The location was as described up on a hill. The house was walking distance to the small town where one store was open during our 5 day stay. It looked like a nice bakery across the street from the trail, but this time of year, the owner is only open on Saturday. Lots of steps and they were dusty. There was a cobweb in the basement bathroom. The water barely trickled out of the shower head. The basement bedroom did have windows, so that helped but it was 10 degrees cooler in the lower level. It was a quiet house at night. A park is right next to the house if you have children. The house has an interesting history of how it was brought to this location and installed on the hill. It was very adequate for a few days for the two of us.
