Our family gathered in Minneapolis for a reunion and decided to give Airbnb a shot. I booked this cabin, in particular, because I wanted my husband (and sister-in-law), who does not always appreciate the raucous nature of my family gatherings to have a quiet place to retreat to when it all became a bit too much for him. I couldn't have made a better choice.

The cabin's interior is beautiful...in addition to all of the amenities one could hope for, it boasts lots of little touches everywhere that spoke to the owner's attention to detail and care. However, what really made this space special was its location. Sitting in the yard watching the red-wing blackbirds fight over territory, the herons stroll gracefully along the beach, a loon point it's head upward in flight, even a seaplane land directly in front of us...well, we could feel our blood pressure lowering by the minute.

Sally was/is a very accommodating and gracious host who was readily available to answer any questions we had...such where we could find local bike paths. In general, she made our stay such a pleasant and easy experience that we are all now sold on Airbnb.

Thank you, Sally, and Airbnb!
