Mary opened her home to me and my extended family with all the care and consideration you hope when traveling. She thought of everything...great home, WELL stocked kitchen, and all the luxury of a 5 star hotel in NYC or LA. MN weather can be extreme from 40 below 0 to 98 degrees with 85% humidity. The weekend we were at Mary's house it was SO very hot but when we checked in, is was a comfortable 70-degrees! Super comfortable beds, Ultra clean bathrooms, Well equipped kitchen (bottled water, popcorn maker, coffee maker, martini shaker, and much more). Mary herself was so sweet and welcoming. She had amazing food recommendations and even had menus from local restaurants if we chose to eat out. I would recommend staying at Mary's house to everyone who visits the Twin Cities. Just minutes away from everything!
