My husband and I stayed here during a stressful and hectic episode in our lives (a cross-country move) and our week here was the best possible medicine for that. The accommodation is a big living/lounging room with kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom in the lower level of their home. The main room and bedroom have huge windows (in the back of the house) overlooking a lake and forested area around it, and the backs of the neighboring houses surrounding the lake are barely visible. It's a beautiful nature scene (complete with squirrel and deer visits) that was amazing to spend time just gazing at while relaxing with... (the best part, here it comes...) the gas fireplace going right next to us!... while surrounded by the owners' interesting and cozy collection of antique books and Indian string instruments (related to, but not, sitars). We were there during fall, and definitely plan on coming back next year to spend a few days watching the leaves fall at dusk while sipping on tea or hot chocolate. We also plan to use their place for any out-of-town guests. Elizabeth was extremely helpful and accommodating of our extra long stay and provided us with all the kitchen items we might need to cook. Nipping into St Paul for great shops, restaurants, and markets was super easy by car. As other reviewers have said, the photos do not do the place justice. We highly recommend this place!
