When coming to the Maker’s Cottage, you will not be disappointed. We traveled with family, and there was plenty of space for us to all feel at home. You come in through the back door and are in the kitchen and dining room. The dining area has a cool repurposed big dining room table, and right away you notice the amazing decor. There is an island countertop that houses the dishwasher. Not a lot of space to put away groceries if you are staying for a week like we did, but not to worry because there is plenty of counterspace. Then you go into the hallway leading to the living room spaces. Once again, you will be blown away by the handmade decor: wall hangings, a chest, shelving, all just so COOL! The laundry room is spacious and they provided laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The half bath is also on the main floor, as well as a bedroom with two twin beds. This was perfect for my 83-year old grandfather who came along and can do stairs but likes to keep them to a minimum. Going up the stairs, you will notice the softest carpet that leads into a big cozy bedroom with three full beds. Across the hall is a full bathroom with a wonderful rainfall shower head. The bathroom is spacious. Going down to the basement, there is a common space with a couch and tv and the kids enjoyed watching Netflix in a cool space away from the adults. There is a full bed and two twin beds as well. Then there is a full bathroom with EXCELLENT shower pressure. My favorite bedroom in the house was the last basement bedroom with a queen bed and just the perfect handmade decor again. Very private space.
We enjoyed going down the street to The Ox Yoke restaurant, and although commuting places took 25-40 minutes, it was worth it to us to be away from the hustle and bustle.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the deck with beautiful lighting. Such a cool space (just make sure to pack bug spray).
So much closet space!
Very remote.
Amanda is very quick to reply with anything you may need.
The only problem we had was due to the weather. We came to Minnesota when the heat index was 110. Yikes! The air conditioner had trouble keeping up, especially when we were trying to cook. I’m sure this is not a normal problem in normal Minnesota weather. And it really wasn’t that big of a deal.
Thanks again for the AWESOME stay! I highly recommend!!!
