This home on the lake is a great place to stay if you are hoping to enjoy the activities of the twin cities while having an escape at the end of the day where you can forget you are anywhere near the cities. Sally is very accommodating; when we had concerns about the summer heat, she made sure the house was comfortable and cool. Lots of wildlife you can see from the comfort of the porch, and a 15 minutes drive from the heart of St Paul or Minneapolis. We had a wonderful trip with our baby!
