"We had a wonderful stay! The home was lovely with upgraded amenities that made our visit special. We experienced a slight hiccup with the water in the main level shower, but the service team responded promptly and guided us through a quick fix. The room with the double beds was a bit small, more suitable for kids, which we didn't realize until we arrived. Thankfully, we made it work by purchasing an air mattress. We would stay again! The neighbors were friendly, and the location is perfect for exploring many local attractions. Thank you for a memorable experience!"

- Brandon

Host Response:

Well Equipped

"We had a great stay in this Minnestay house. All the appliances, fixtures and furniture were high quality and comfortable. There were plenty of kitchen supplies to make anything we wanted and we particularly loved the screened in porch for the rainy days we were there. <br/>The neighborhood was quiet and safe. You're pretty close to the neighbors so I get the noise ordinance considerations. Our three year old loved all the toys and fun kid stuff available in the kids room."

- Kelly

Host Response:

"Thank you, Kelly! We’re delighted to hear you and your family felt right at home and enjoyed the comfort and quality of the space. The screened-in porch is such a cozy spot for rainy days, and we’re so glad your little one loved the toys and kid-friendly touches. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!"

Well EquippedQuiet

Cozy Home, Quiet Neighborhood

"The home is bigger than it looks on the outside and was just what we were looking for. We were traveling for a business trip and were taking the entire family, so we needed a place close to our venue and big enough for the whole family. The home had everything we needed, and the rental company dispatched a maintenance staff within an hour of our discovering an issue with the home. The problem was fixed, and we enjoyed the rest of our stay without any further incidents. We would definitely stay here again."
