Summary: My friends and I just wrapped up our second year in a row staying here, and it really is such a wonderful house. The perfect getaway that’s peaceful and beautiful, but close enough to the Twin Cities for all of us to checkout for a few days. The space and layout are wonderful for a group of 5-6 (everyone had more than enough space!)The only negatives are that the house has a lot of things needing repair l…and there was a ladybug infestation in the house. None of us are squeamish, but there were literally hundreds of ladybugs clustered in the corners and flying around. It started to feel a little icky. Again, great house and I’d be totally open to staying here again, just hoping for some fixes here and there.
