Mary was so welcoming and helpful, in so many different ways! I really felt welcomed and relaxed, but also enjoyed the time I spend with Mary and her husband, Scott. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a terrific spot to relax and use as a home base to head out and enjoy what Minnesota has to offer. The extras provided were incredible - coffee, eggs, bagels, Scott's banana bread - and they definitely got me going on the right foot each day. Mary was there when I had questions or wanted some company, but left me to myself to do the things I was in MN for. Very, very friendly and just an all around awesome experience! Oh, and BTW, the accommodations are immaculate and comfortable.
