My family of 4 stayed while we had work done in our own house. One of my teens made the upstairs space with a single bed her own, the other used the futon in the living room. I enjoyed the view of sky and trees through the sklylight in the bedroom that my husband and I had. The cottage is aptly named as it's a pleasant, comfortable setting with a cottage feel, including a pleasant porch with home made quilts. Barbara's notes about her place are accurate. Barbara was very responsive and helpful when questions or needs arose. I also enjoyed being directly on a bus line. (Rt. 3 goes through the U of M, Como Park, DT Minneapolis and DT St. Paul. ) I would recommend Barbara's place for practical situations like ours, a mini-retreat, or a visit from out of town.
