My best friend and I live about 20 hours from one another and decided to meet in Minneapolis for a weekend retreat. I stumbled across this listing and managed to talk my friend into trying something different (I am the more adventurous one of the two of us - she prefers a nice hotel in the city). We had a wonderful time here. I cannot express into words how peaceful it was. It was just what I needed to recharge! We spent every morning on the porch drinking coffee and taking in the views. At some point each day, we would lay on the outdoor bed and just chat. We took the kayaks across the lake and loved every minute. If I ever find myself traveling near the area again, I will definitely see if the cottage is available! The host are wonderful folks!!! Thank you for sharing your space and providing such a safe and wonderful getaway for us!
