Arlyn was great! She allowed us to check in early (1 pm instead of 3 pm) and allowed us to check out late (3 pm instead of 1 pm). She even offered that; I didn't have to request it. That really helped because we were in town for a family reunion. Her flexibility allowed me to accommodate my three kids' inbound and outbound flight times. Plus, she promptly located an item my son left behind and shipped it to him pronto!

And for you cyclists out there, this is an ideal base for biking the Dakota Rail Regional Trail. The first morning I headed west on the trail into the countryside of open fields and forest. The other morning I went east for the lake views all the way to Wayzata's lakefront park. Runners and inline skaters also enjoy this paved trail. Arlyn's cottage is less than 1.5 miles due south of the trail.
