Barbara is an EXCELLENT host! May in Minneapolis - one night we needed a little space heater, the next a fan! LOL! They brought them right over late in the evening. This is a darling little cottage with a traditional feel to it. The listing does inform guests that there's a train track nearby, and there are trains that go by. But, starting with the lilacs in the vases and the attentiveness of the host, I am happy to recommend this little cottage to others!
