Huge home! Clean with all towels, blankets that could be needed for both pool and for bathing. Pool was beautiful and clean as was hot tub. Zip line in back yard was fun. Met all of our needs and exceeded our expectations.

The dead of winter is not necessarily the best time to visit the Twin Cities, but the "Castle" was an excellent place to have our large extended family stay as we attended the memorial service for our 96 year old mother, grandmother and great grandmother. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was well appointed and everything for a comfortable stay was provided. Our hosts were attentive and available when we had a question. Check in and out went smoothly and everything was as described in the VRBO listing. Thank you, Rachel and Charlie for making our stay warm and relaxing. We were able to enjoy our time together and celebrate the wonderful life of an amazing person who was so important in our lives.

Great space for a large group! Lots of bedrooms and different rooms to hang out with our group aged 15-90 years old during Thanksgiving weekend. We had 12 sleep at the house, and 20 there for Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of space to sit for dinner, play games, watch football. Perfect kitchen to work together to prep meals. The neighborhood is amazing with a co-op, coffee shops and restaurants all in walking distance.Downsides: Host did not respond in a timely manner to questions before or during our stay, and when they did respond, it was an incomplete answer. I believe we paid premium price because it was Thanksgiving (compared to posted prices for weekends before and after), and regardless I'm used to VRBO hosts who respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours, and always check to see if there are questions on the day of check in. In this case, day of check-in was day before Thanksgiving for a large group, so when we didn't hear back we knew we wouldn't hear back until day after Thanksgiving which was Day 3/4. This was disappointing, and doesn't match reviews of other guests in 2025 so was also surprising.Heads up the outlets, light switches, and lights are a little wonky. For example, a specific light switch has to be on in the basement in order for the TV to power on in the main floor. No big deal, but tricky to figure out! Love an old home, but would be great if host had handbook or guide for quirks of the property.
