Our family gathered from three states to enjoy a Thanksgiving weekend at Jane's place. Jane's responses to inquiries while considering booking and afterwards were always extremely prompt. She is an excellent host. Her charming house a block from White Bear Lake, with lake views, was perfect for our needs. There was a very spacious living room with a cozy fireplace for visiting, games & TV watching (especially all those football games). The dining room to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner let us all gather around the table. A spacious, well-equipped kitchen let us serve up several meals, including the all-important Thanksgiving feast. The center island was appreciated for buffet meals. The four bedrooms proved perfect for our family's sleeping arrangements. It had snowed just before our arrival, and it was nice to find shoveled walks. There was off-street parking behind the house for our three cars. The family also enjoyed the walk to the city beach/park, even though it was November. Had it been warm weather, the outside deck and front porch would have been good gathering places. We had a wonderful family gathering here. Recommended!
