Everyone's face lit up when we walked through the door. Just breathtaking. I was taken back by the security deposit as I failed to read about that prior. This was my "budget" vacation with my kids and honestly had I read that before booking I would have gotten a hotel and saved money. That said, I'm glad I didn't read it beforehand. It's not cheap and its certainly not in my budget but it was worth it. I had 6 kids 18 and under in tow and we could have spent all our time in Minnesota at this home and never been bored. I believe they explored every square inch of this beautiful home and I'd almost bet they could tell the host a few details of the place he wouldn't have known. You absolutely want to take in each part of the home. I attempted a video to make my friends jealous and even being chased by a 16 year old repeating "mom why more videos don't you have enough" it took me 10 minutes to get through, so my friends will never see the video. We dined at a different table every meal. The kids loved the hot tub, "car wash", having their own rooms, and the number of hiding spots in this house. I obsessed over the kitchen (more settings for the table than I have children) and the laundry. The rugs in the living spaces...yeah I need one for at home, those oversized fluffy shag rugs, just perfect. The little details were on point. If you needed something odd there's a junk drawer, like in every Midwestern home and when the kids asked for scissors I found them there. If you need it, it's likely already there. The memories we made at this stunning property are the ones you want to play over and over again.
