First trip to the US and to Minnesota. Vicki is super warm host and for us it felt more like staying over at a friend's place. What you see in the picture is what you get. Full access to the kitchen and you have your own bathroom in the basement (unique positive experience for us). Kitchen is there if you need to cook. Advise on the great local eat out at Birchwood (5 minutes away for us) and Co-op supermarket more than cater to your daily needs. I love the neighborhood and the resident white squirrel around the place. Make sure you bring your SLR with the telephoto lens. Highly recommended for a home away from home.
