First, the overall rating should be "GOOD" (4 stars, not 3). The system kept defaulting to 3 stars. Melissa's hideaway is beautifully decorated in great colors. The kitchen contained everything needed. Appliances seemed new and were excellent. And there were many extras (balsamic vinegar, for example, and a dish of Minnesota candies). The view through the patio door often included browsing deer. And speaking of nature, the location was not far from the Reservoir Woods area and its walking trails, though not proximate to downtown locations.This was the first time in our experience that we were welcomed in person by the hosts, who gave us a quick overview of the facility, including operating instructions for the TV, which included a large array of channels, including specific sports channels we used (ESPN, Big Ten Network). The basement area was a bit cool, but John got out an electric heater for our use, and there were lap blankets at each chair. Summertime visits would be great!
