My 2 adult children and myself, mom, 2 sisters and 3 aunts stay at this charming house. Enough beds for everyone, very comfortable. Owner was very accommodating-any questions we asked wereanswered quickly. During our stay and had to many people blow drying their hair which blew a fuse. The owner was there within minutes to fix the issue.

Perfect place for our group of runners to gather for our Ragnar relay race! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. We actually cancelled dinner reservations to stay at the house and enjoy the deck on our last evening. We hope to be back next year!

Rented the home for us and our adult children while in the area for a family funeral. It was a great place to stay, in a quiet town, with space for us to cook, and hang out together.

Slice of comfort
The listing was exactly as advertised. Spacious with ample amenities. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with extra toiletries just in case. Beds were comfy and soft linens. Fridge was stocked with cold water and chocolate treats. Loads of dishes and supplies to make your own meals. I made 2 dinners with ease. Used the wok too! I don't even have one at home.
Walking distance to center of Forest Lake. We used the cute beach and ate at Mallards. Block away was the laundromat which we needed after a tough mudder. Fabulous stay!

We had 9 women who spent the weekend working on crafts, making meals and laughing. This was the perfect place to do all of that! It is an older home that has been updated but with respect to the age of the house. Everything was very clean. We each had a 6' table to use and felt like we had plenty of space for our supplies. The kitchen was really well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. It also has a large table so we could all sit together. Having a ramp to bring in all of our crafting items was also a bonus. The owner was super and it was easy to communicate with her. It was simple to check-in and check-out. It felt like there were little extras that made our stay so comfortable. We all loved it so much that we plan to be back later this year!

A group of 7 of us stayed there. It was cute, clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Check out Key’s Cafe/Bakery for some delicious breakfast!
Jenny was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Great stay
We needed a last minute place to stay. Jenny was a wonderful host and great communicator. We had lots of space for privacy from each other. When it is warm the bedrooms may need box fans. The bathrooms were perfect. The kitchen was fantastic! We would stay again.

We had three generations of family at this house and it worked out perfectly! It was actually kind of nice to have all separate beds but still nine beds total and three separate rooms. This amazingly old, homey feeling home had a wonderful charm to it. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint but it was within less than an hour from main attractions in Minneapolis. Plenty of clean towels and linens, coffee, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom, cute touches of flowers in vases and truffles on side tables, the only grievance was there was only one frying pan and it was a smaller one. We made it work though! We highly recommend this beautiful house in an awesome area of Minnesota.

Tough Mudder weekend
This was my first VRBO experience, and I am looking forward to the next. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Three of us ran in the Tough Mudder in Hugo, so the location was great. The massage seat at the house was definitely a bonus after the event.

Worked Perfectly
Great and easy communication with the owner. House is accurately represented in the listing.
Local town is growing and there is an AWESOME paved bike / running path that goes MILES right outside the door.
Our group will look to be back. Thank you!

Charming get away in a great location
We stayed at the rendezvous for ladies' weekend and it was fantastic! The house was much bigger than we expected and yet so cozy! It had everything we needed: comfy beds, plenty of clean linen, and AC. Jenny is great!! She gave us lots of suggestions for things to do in the area, many of which were within walking distance (even on a 90+ degree day). We had one small issue and it was taken care of right away. We are already planning our return trip!

Comfortable interior / outstanding environment outside
The gardens and deck make for a fabulous outdoor experience. My family loved hanging out on the deck while the kids played in the yard. The interior was comfortable but lacked a place to put clothing. The kitchen was well equipped for making meals for large or small gatherings. My family was pleased with their accommodations.

Great atmosphere, great service!
The owner, Jenny, was incredibly helpful and quick when we were having technical difficulties with the screen. The home itself is lovely, it definitely has a home feel to it! There was more than enough space for everyone and for all of the activities that were planned.

Pretty great place!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The owners were very responsive when we text with questions. Plenty of beds without feeling crowded. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to create a meal! LOTS of linens & towels which is fabulous. Only downside, no washing machine, though there is a laundromat within easy walking distance.
