5/5 We really enjoyed our stay at this whimsical & comfy house in the woods! Very fun layout with all the amenities we needed to have a comfortable stay. I would love to come back in the winter to enjoy the fireplace.

Dear Jessica, yes, please come back this winter and enjoy the fireplace. I agree that the cabin is whimsical and very comfy. Thank you for the five star review. I also enjoy that even though it is a cabin in a remote area, it has most of the comforts of home. I am glad you had a great stay.
4/5 A nice quiet getaway

Manager's Response:
Thank you so much for your review. I couldn’t agree more that it’s the perfect quiet getaway, nestled in a peaceful forested setting surrounded by a lovely meadow. The original owners built the cabin in 1985 as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities, and I share their appreciation for the serenity it offers. It’s also my own escape, where I enjoy relaxing walks with my dog on the nearby trails. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you’ll return for another peaceful visit soon.
4/5 Only issue was lack of AC on 90 degree days. I should have realized that ahead of booking. Great spot for spring/fall, just not ideal in such high temps.

From the owner: "Thank you for your kind review and understanding. We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin and its great location.
- We appreciate you noting that the only concern was the lack of air conditioning during unusually warm weather.
- The listing does mention that AC is not currently available, but we’ve added multiple box fans throughout the cabin for guest comfort.
- Our goal is to have a full AC system installed before the summer of 2026.
- The cabin is especially ideal for spring and fall stays when temperatures are milder.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing our property."
