I chose this property for the large, grassy backyard that included a trampoline. Plenty of photos online showing all the grass. Well, when we arrived I immediately realized we had been scammed. The entire backyard was dirt! Dirt, dirt, dirt. All the grass had been ripped up. There was no trampoline. I was planning to host a kids playdate at the property with other relatives in town which obviously had to be cancelled. There was signage at the front of the house to not wear shoes inside in order to avoid bringing in dirt and sand.. um, how are we supposed to avoid bringing in dirt when the entire backyard is dirt? Besides that, the place was a dump. I am so disappointed. I've never stayed in something so gross. My entire family was disgusted. It was a joke by the end of the trip the fact that every single thing was broken. This was my 1st Vrbo experience and definitely my last. I checked in 10pm Thursday, called 8am Friday to complain, was told I would get a call back from a manager soon, and here we are Wednesday morning and no one ever reached out, so clearly a lack of concern. Some of our issues were the broken curtains, the broken banister, broken lights, outlets that didn't work, non-functioning televisions, broken stove burners, the wasp nest (!!!!!) outside, dirty shower curtains, bath tub that wouldn't drain... I could go on and on. The dishes weren't even clean! It was all so gross.

Was good all in all, but has some wear and tear/age
We enjoyed our trip all and all, but our biggest complain was that there were some things that made the price feel steep in comparison.
-Wifi speed
-TV and bose system didn't work great
-Temporary paper blinds in the master bedroom
- walls had some decent wear and tear
-screen door was off it's track
That being said the place as a whole did work out great for us and the location is great! And it did meet our needs really well. Just some things you expect at this price and location

It's a lovely house and suited our purposes well. For the holiday price we paid and the required minimum stay, though, we expected more.

My family stayed here for a weekend to celebrate Christmas and it was a perfect choice. The kids enjoyed the hill in the backyard for sledding while adults watched from the warm kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it was great for preparing large meals and included all of the tools and space required for feeing a big group. The great room was perfect for gathering and we loved playing Christmas music on the baby grand piano. It was roomy, and there were plenty of spacious bedrooms and bathrooms for people to be comfortable and get away when needed to relax in a bit of quiet. The downstairs room was great for playing ping pong and watching movies and it was nice to have another fridge and bar area for snacks all day long. Would love to come here again!

Thank you very much for the use of your lovely home!
It worked very well for extended family during our son's wedding. The spaciousness of the house was really great and we enjoyed the piano.
All was wonderful except we needed a couple of extra blankets. Also could not easily turn off air conditioner so we found a child's sleeping bag to keep warm.
Lighting in the main living area was super bright and could not be dimmed, so we sat in the dark in the evening.
In the upstairs hall bath, the lid of the toilet seat is detached.
My brother removed an active hornet nest from under the back deck. Still, a great house we would gladly recommend to others!

Good location away from city to relax after a long day of seeing the local sights or hitting the mall. Lots of room for the family and nice amenities. A few smaller maintenance items kept the property itself from a 5 star rating but nothing that would keep us from staying here again. And Lance from Minnestay helped with a booking issue and was insanely helpful!

Beautiful! Spacious and very clean.
Needs blankets on beds (not just bedspreads) as well as a few extra blankets and pillows in the closets. TV in the basement didn’t work, shower in one bathroom didn’t work properly, and the massage chair is locked in demo mode, limiting you to just 0:30.

Excelsior Home
The property is beautiful and was the perfect size home for our group. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and was as shown in the pictures (other than the fact that the trampoline was not in the backyard during our stay). The check in process was quite easy, the house was clean and comfortable, and management truly goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay for everyone of every age. We would most definitely book this property again if we had an event in the area.

Very accomodating
We made some last minute changes and Lance was very flexible and accommodating.
