Myself and my siblings + their families stayed here, including 3 kids (2, 3, and 5yo). This isn’t a place that I would recommend for children.
The steep hill makes the water less accessible than one would hope for, and the waterfront is frankly dangerous- filled with large rocks both in the sand and the water, many pieces of glass, and there are large metal stakes sticking up out of the sand waiting for someone to fall on them. The neighbor’s dog was unattended and wanted to play, pestering us and not wanting to go home despite us not engaging with it.
The home is unique and had some cool aspects, though needs some repairs and updates (a hole in the wall in one of the downstairs bedrooms, a broken window by the outdoor stairs).
The proximity to Minneapolis was great. Being on the river and watching so much bait traffic was fun. The included kayak was fun. We enjoyed making s’mores at the fire pit.
Overall, the place was good but not great. It was not worth the $4,500 price for 3 nights, especially the exorbitant cleaning price when it had a layer of dust over the blinds and cobwebs.
