peace and comfort

The house is on a quiet street with a lovely backyard. The children were enchanted by bunnies on the lawn and baby robins in a nest. The house has old-fashioned country charm with comfortable beds and lots of big TV screens. The area has lots of bicycling trails which we love.

Great location - cluttered house

The pictures posted are definitely from this house, however, they are from many years when the host was on the market to be sold. There is twice as much furniture/stuff in the house than the pictures show. The caretaker was very responsive and the location is good. In order for listing to accurately represent the property, new photos should be posted.

family reunion and baseball

This property checked several boxes for our reunion: great location, safe neighborhood, close to Target Field and Mall of America, space for all to sleep, nice washer and dryer. However the host's standard of cleanliness is far different from mine. . Overall this space need a through deep cleaning. It smells musty and there was a notable layer of dust on everything. This made it not a place we were happy to be in at the end of the day. I won't return.

We loved the antique furniture and the country home feel of this property. The gardens were lovely (saw bunnies and a wild turkey). This was a very well equipped home with everything you could ask for provided. Located on a quiet cul de sac but close to freeway access.

Found lots of trash under first floor bed, someone medicine was under the couch. Clearly the property is not being deep cleaned between rentals. Also cleaner was there almost 20 minutes past when check in was, delaying us from being checking in. There was no clear cleaning instructions on what need to be done prior to check put. Lost of extra furniture making moving around hard at timesPositives the property its self is very beautiful. House is very large and even witj 6 people in it we did not feel cramp. Nice size tv in the living room.

The location was exactly what we were looking for. The cleanliness and musty smell needs to be worked on. We had to clean and wash all of the dishes and appliances that we wanted to use because there was a layer of dust on everything. The rooms were all very musty and moist. We washed down everything that we could, but it was still not a very clean place to stay. I certainly hope that we left it cleaner that when we arrived.

Overall the home was quaint and cozy. I could do without so much furniture and it was dusty. The home could use a deep cleaning by professionals. It was otherwise a nice place.

Comfy long term stay

Jim’s place is a great home away from home. We stayed ten weeks with our family of five and were very comfortable. Enough room for everyone to have their own space, plus office desk, fast internet, big TV, large yard and outdoor entertaining space, and fun puzzles and games. Close to regional bike trail and Meadow Park with tennis courts and walking paths. Jim was friendly and responsive to all of our concerns.

This house was really great for a large group. There was 6 adults and a 1 year old. Had all the utensils and kitchen wear to cook our meals. Its location was about 15-20 min. from things like Mall of America, Scheel's and other shopping. We went with our boats and did some fishing on Christmas Lake and caught 30-60 bluegills on each of the 3 days we went fishing. Plenty of bedding and bathrooms are nice. Supplies well available.One of our concerns was the house has a lot of furniture, dining room difficult to get around table once everyone is seated, living room does not have comfortable seating, most of it needs to be replaced. Outdoors the walkway is rather treacherous with misc. mats and such to get to house, too many tripping hazzards.Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great location

It was ok. It sleeps 14 if you use all the sofa, futon and trundles but it did not have enough space for everyone to gather in one room. The dining room is dark and way too much furniture that is not useable. Some of the bedroom storage was already filled with items(maybe if the homeowner). Some of the closets with extra bedding had a mildew smell so didn’t use it. Overall it worked but my advice to the owner would be to make the furniture more purposeful and not just to fill the space with useless things. The owner was slow to respond and when I requested to change my dates i felt ignored and ended up paying for nights I didn’t need. Communication with the owner was terrible. The yard is nice with tables and umbrellas with a bbq. Kitchen was clean and had spices and some staples. Great location for just about everything.

Stay Away! Dirty, cluttered, smelly, no response from owner

I wish I could post pictures. This property is not cleaned or maintained. Antiques replaced with garage-sale cast offs. Owner contacted immediately but never responded. Booked five night but couldn’t take it after one night. -Boxes of booze bottles and other trash in driveway - Rotting pumpkin outside entry door - Food-stained kitchen cupboards and oven - Oven door dripping with some milky substance - Mildew smell pervading house - Used shampoo bottles in bathrooms with soap dripping down sides - Used, grimy bath toys on tub rims - Pubic hair on bathroom wall! - Bedroom with mahogany 4-poster bed with sleep number mattress? Nope. Sagging mattress on plain old bed frame. That bedroom had a refrigerator, hot plate and some kind of warming tray. Looks like someone is squatting here. This property should does not represent VRBOs usual quality. We contacted VRBO to report this property.

Nice place for a family reunion

It was a pleasant vacation meeting family members in a house with a lot of antiques and holiday decorations. The house is really warm, cozy and relaxing. I can tell that the owner has put a lot of efforts in decorating the house, in an old fashion that young generation would never appreciate. My family loved it and felt like home. We texted Jim before arriving, asking for a Christmas tree. When we got there, the tree was up with lights turned on. On a heavy snow night, we messaged Jan for some plumbing issue, she sent Mr. Appleby to resolve the problem right away. They responded to the request quickly. The house is at a cul de sac in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed family walk after every dinner. We are so happy that we made a good choice for this good location, nice neighborhood, reasonable pricing, cozy house for Christmas. Thank you Jan and Jim for the host. Ping ans family

Problems with cleanliness and photos no longer portray the shape the property is in

The floors and dishes were dirty and many of the dishes needed cleaning before use. If you are paying a cleaning fee, you would expect to arrive to a clean house. The grounds are not well taken care of and foliage is overgrown. The photos listed do not accurately display the condition of the home and property. There was a bee's nest in the backyard and 2 of our family members were badly stung. Hazards as such should be professionally removed for the safety of visitors. There is lots of clutter on the grounds (7 grills - many of them did not work so I didnt understand why they were all there) and many unnecessary pieces of furniture in bedrooms and living spaces that made it feel cluttered. There were also no check out instructions listed. Good things about this place is that it could easily fit a large family and the host was responsive but we do not have plans to stay here again.

This property met our needs for our family weekend event perfectly. The outdoor patio was perfect for grilling, dining, and an evening camp fire. On-line photos don't begin to show the charm the house has and large common spaces.
