It also has a Public Swimming pool costing $5.00 per person. Lanesboro is a 15 minute drive which has shopping, Live Theatre, and a Fish Hatchery.

Charming and centrally located

We enjoyed our holiday weekend stay in this comfortable, charming home that is centrally located to Lanesboro area activities. Exceptionally clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a long stay. Activities we especially enjoyed were Mystery Cave State Park and Estelle’s Eatery in Harmony. Highly recommend to those visiting the area.

Great location for anyone who likes to bike or fish. A very quaint town with a great deli!! We were fisherman and had three great days of fishing local waters. Nearby restaurants--favorite was in Harmony--a cute town 10 miles away--Estelle's. This small home fit our needs very well. Planning on returning.

We were looking for a place at the last minute to spend a weekend in the Lanesboro area for some quality fall gravel bike rides. This little house in Preston was perfect for us. Very comfortable and an easy (and scenic) drive to Lanesboro for biking and access to the great restaurants there.

Mother’s Day Weekend

The four adults were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and comfort of the property! The neighbors were nice. The back yard was spacious and had all the comforts of home. Easy location to get to the bike trail. You couldn’t ask for a better place! We are hoping to be back with other guests.

Cleanest VRBO Ever

Better than the listing. Super clean. Great location for going fishing. Could use a decent bread knife. Few by of the windows open. Mattress topper on king upstairs is way too soft. Nicely decorated. 5 out of 5 with some minor adjustments.

Sister’s stay

Incredibly clean and comfortable. Reminded me of my first house which made me feel right at home. Pauline is considerate and leaves staple items from previous guests. S&P, a few condiments, coffee supplies, etc. and keeps the checkout process simple! Thanks

Home was very clean and nice. Kitchen had everything we needed to make some simple meals. Toy room upstairs was a nice touch. My kids are teenagers but they still enjoyed looking through the toys and playing some of the games. Location was convenient with many local businesses within walking distance We enjoyed the nearby bowling alley for reasonably priced food, drinks, and bowling. The nearby community swimming pool was great for cooling off after a hot day. Host was responsive when we had questions. Niagara Cave, Mystery Cave, and downtown Lanesboro were some other nearby attractions we enjoyed.

My Grandson's birthday

We were in town for my grandson's birthday. We usually stay at a nearby inn but it was booked, so we tried a VRBO. It was my first time and I am thoroughly happy with the experience. Pauline provided communications and updates from the moment the house was booked. When we arrived the home was clean and inviting. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay. I would recommend anyone to stay at the property. Carol

Great house, fit the whole family

We were in the area to go to some of the caves, State parks, Amish Country and sinkhole areas. The house was located centrally between all of them. Great house with room for all three of the kids, there is a setup for having a fire in the backyard, we made s'mores. The town of Preston was small and delightful, we forgot to pack one of my son's medications and our doctor called it into the local pharmacy and they were able to get it to us in less than 30 minutes. Their grocery store was well stocked and some of their prices were cheaper than Walmart. On the upper floor there is a playroom for kids, for toddlers-6 yo, but my 10-year-old even played with the toys. Well appointed kitchen, with many spices and extras that were nice in case you forgot to bring them. If we're in the area again we would definitely stay.

Great location for fishermen and bike riders. So many bike trails with great views and such great flylfishing. Such a pretty town and other cute towns nearby. Beds were very comfortable and I have a bad back. You may even get to see eagles. On our float trips we saw three eagles nests and several eagles.
