Liz and Jon are the best - warm, friendly, helpful, and smart as the grad students they once were. We were their guests for 5 nights while doing woork in a family business in the area and socializing with family in the area.
Their home was both lovely and spotlessly clean. Beds comfy and warm (we were in the room with twin beds), and Baths very up to date. There is an attractive large common are with great TV and plenty of soft chairs for lounging/chatting/reading.
The neighborhood is a quiet suburban mix of homes, hilly woods and parks. There is a small shopping center good for typical traveler's needs a mile or two away. The house is on three levels with plenty of glass and views - the snow-filled woods and wandering flock of wild turkeys were a hit.
Jon makes a great breakfast. He loves to cook and served us up generous portions of home made bread french toast, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and waffles on the various mornings - Topping it all off with better-than-Starbucks Arabica.
The only dumb thing about this review is I'm letting the secret out of the bag, and will have to compete with all of you for a reservation next time I come to Minnesota!
