I can not say enough how much we loved our stay, and how wonderful a host Lance is. My three generational family stayed a week over Christmas, during one of the coldest periods in recent memory. This was our first visit to Minnesota, so we didn't really know what to expect. Lance was responsive to our needs and answered our questions well in advance of our arrival. He was willing to get and set up a Christmas tree for us if we chose. The house is actually more beautiful and more spacious than the pictures show, especially the kitchen. There were games and toys for children around the house, which I so appreciated as it made my daughter feel at home. We loved the neighborhood too. We could walk to little grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants, and being right by the highway everything was quickly accessible by car. It is by far the most generously appointed vacation rental we have ever booked; we wanted for nothing. I don't think it is possible to choose a better place to stay in the twin cities!
