If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to lay your head outside of the Twin Cities, I would highly recommend this location.
Lisa and Tom have a lovely cottage that is ideal for two people to relax by the lake that is approximately 30 miles from both Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The little touches, such as the snacks and the clear communication, were nice and made the stay that much more relaxing. Both hosts stay in contact but are far from persistent, as they will leave you to your own devices unless an urgent manner requires attention or you would like to contact them.
The only issue I would have with the location are the bugs but that is a consequence of being next to a lake. Even then, the hosts supply you with ample bug spray and soap for the shower that will discourage the local insect population from annoying you too much.
Once again, great location and hosts in a lovely part of Minnesota that is away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan area.
