This place was great for a quick getaway from the cities. Even though we had rainy weather our entire stay, the change of scenery was nice and the home had everything we needed. There were plenty of books, board games, and toys for the kids (nothing better than other people's toys, right?) so staying inside was no problem. Due to the weather, we only wandered down to the lake once but it seemed like it would be a great place to hang out (though it's steep walk to get there). We enjoyed walking the one block to local shops and restaurants, and taking a short drive to Taylor's Falls. Overall a great weekend!
