Clean and quiet
Was a very clean space, perfect for our family of three. We are from out of state and used this space as a getaway during the Christmas holiday, while visiting family in the St.Paul/Minneapolis area.

Lakeland Shores on Thanksgiving weekend
Clean, cute, quiet! The cottage amenities were terrific, but I would have liked a hair blow dryer in the bathroom and unscented towels and sheets. We felt very comfortable and safe walking our dog in the neighborhood at night. Walking to the river is a nice option, or hike in Afton State Park for a more vigorous hike (recommend the 50th Street parking area with multiple loop options and mapping to help navigate), and a burger at Lumberyard pub afterwards!
