We had a lovely stay at Scott’s place! It’s bigger than it appears in photos. Everything was very clean and well organized. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with all of the necessities (toiletries, lines, extra toilet paper, etc.). The dormer window in the bedroom and half windows in the living room allowed natural light to enter the space so it didn’t feel like you were in a dark basement. This space is in an old house so be aware that you will hear walking and a bit of noise from the living space above but it didn’t bother us at all. The dehumidifier helped mask some of the noise. Although this place does not have a kitchen, the small fridge and dining table allowed us to enjoy take out and leftovers easily. However, there is no microwave so keep that in mind. They’ve done a good job keeping the entrance to the space private even though it’s attached to the main house. You don’t feel like you’re invading Scott and his family’s private residence. This location is perfect for exploring the very cool town of Excelsior (within walking distance) and is not far from the twin cities. We recommend Lago Tacos for a unique take on tacos and Olive’s Fresh Pizza Bar for delicious wood fired pizza! We would definitely come back and stay again!
