Yasmin did a great job at communicating with us when we had questions. The house is welcoming and cozy feeling (even though it's a large house). The couches are comfy and the TV in the great room was nice. The view is worth the price for the stay - we had our coffee and watched eagles almost every morning.
The beds were not especially comfortable, but it's an Airbnb so we didn't expect them to compare to our Sleep Number at home. The master bathroom shower has 7 shower heads and only a few were actually functioning for us. We had issues with the hot water in all of the bathrooms so the handyman came out and said everything looked fine. It started working again after he was there so I'm assuming he fixed something.
If you're traveling with older people, anyone disabled, or young children, please be advised that the stairs into the house at all entrances are steep and some don't have handrails. We have an adult son who is disabled and we had to help him up and down the stairs each time we went out to the pool or went out to eat. There are about 5 steps into the front door, 4 in the garage, and each entrance to the backyard/pool area has about 3 steps (made of rock so not a flat surface). The bathrooms do not have safety rails either. The steps the basement/laundry area also do not have handrails.
The pool area does not have a fence so young children and pets will need to be watched closely. We actually had a bunny in the pool one morning and had to fish it out and bury it. Otherwise, the pool was nice to float around in and spend a nice day catching some rays poolside. There isn't much shade so be prepared for lots of sun!
The kitchen was amazing to cook in. The appliances are top notch and the kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you might
need.
The linens were okay, though I would recommend you bring your own because there weren't a lot of hand towels or washcloths. There were plenty of bath and beach towels.
There are several games under the island in the kitchen area and the island and table are perfect for family game nights.
The proximity to Red Wing was nice for eating out and for getting in out of the sun while keeping the teens in our family occupied. Bev's (Red Wing restaurant) has excellent malts and burgers. The Home Plate (another restaurant) staff was very nice and the food was amazing. You can't go to Red Wing without going to Red Wing Shoes and the waterfront park. We also went to the book store, the military museum, and a few antique/consignment stores, and everyone in town was especially nice and had great suggestions for places to eat/things to do.
Overall, the trip was nice and we all had a lot of fun. I would recommend a stay here as Yasmin is an exceptional hostess and went out of her way to answer our questions.
