This property was great! Clean, nice backyard, the location was great to be close enough to downtown/ the mall of America and also walking distance to Minnehaha Falls. We had a great time with our family staying here and were very comfortable. Steve was a great host, very attentive and great communication.

I would advise future guests to bring their own washcloths and paring knives. We needed to buy our own since there were 3 wash cloths for the 6 of us. The size of our family made the bathroom arrangement a bit awkward. The best shower, etc were accessible only through the master bedroom. The steep, narrow driveway was a challenge when backing. Lastly the dining chairs are uncomfortable and in need of cleaning. On the plus side, the location made it easy for us to go back and forth to the VA.

Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed our stay…it was in a great location (1 mins from a amazing park, 9 mins to Mall of America, 14 mins to airport) had the perfect layout for our family and planned gatherings and was seamless check in and out with the host. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space and the downstairs TV area for the kids. We all had such a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely Home In A Great Location
My family of seven loved this house. Walking distance to the park, post office, grocery and the local library, as well as an easy drive to several tourist spots made the location of this home ideal. The host was very responsive and great to work with. The bedrooms were comfortable and the jetted bathtub was a real treat after a long day at Mall of America. We highly recommend a stay.
