A GREAT PLACE TO RELAX! Whoever you are, you're going to find a great place to relax at the home of Carl and Emily! Someplace sweet... like by the gas fireplace, at the well-lit table in the dining room or falling deep into one of the soft and comfy sofas. My wife and I travel over 300 days a year and we feel very fortunate to have become Carl and Emily's first guests... it was our first time to stay in the 'real home' of an AirBNB host. I found this great opportunity out-of-the-blue one night and we flew to Minnesota to stay for 8 days. Carl and Emily are extremely good hosts. Very kind. Genuine. Considerate. And their home is so nice. I wish I could post photos. Their kitchen has everything you need to cook a feast. The whole place is clean. It's warm and inviting. And the fireplace was an inviting place to hangout during a blizzard that hit the day before Christmas. Everyday we saw deer walking through the backyard and birds flying to the feeders (mostly chickadees and gold finch). There's beautiful light coming through the windows on the main floor and quiet seclusion on the deep sofas downstairs. All of the blankets are clean and nice. I could go on and on. But, more than anything else, you need to talk to them. Both Carl and Emily responded to all of our messages immediately... and not in dry or careless tones. They responded naturally and with a great deal of kindness. And they have nice photos of them traveling, in love, hanging around the home. We're definitely going back again as soon as when we can.
