Our extended family decided to spend time together as our Christmas gift to each other and chose this lovely lake house in St. Paul, Minnesota area for the last week in June. Situated with a beautiful lake view, the house was perfect for our needs. We each had our privacy with four bedrooms (3, with an office fitted with an air mattress), a large deck, an outdoor fire pit area, and the most spectacular amenity -- the six-person hot tub. All the gathering places in the house were well decorated, large, and functional. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living room had plenty of seating suitable for family time together. The area has much to offer in the way of entertainment, but staying in and enjoying the peacefulness of this house was a plus, too. Easy access to sightseeing, local grocery stores, and plenty of eateries in the area, plus the convenience of a nearby interstate made it easy to explore both St. Paul and Minneapolis. Of course, we always enjoyed returning home each day to a fire, a soak in the hot tub, or a gathering on the deck. This was a well-appointed and honestly represented rental. Steve could not have been more helpful, hospitable, or gracious. I highly recommend this property to others.
