10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
This place was picked because the first place that was supposed to be, wasn't going to work! We were very excited to have grass that would allow for water activities, and the inside for the whole group for workshops. When the girls arrived the squeals of happiness were heard every where as they went to pick their sleeping areas. This place allowed privacy, and togetherness for all who attended. We really enjoyed this place for our camp.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
This is a fun rambly rustic house great for large groups, but there were inaccuracies in the listing that were frustrating.The Good:Location - just 15 minutes from North Beach, 20 minutes to Minnetonka Cave. Yard - huge secluded grassy backyard with shade trees, a climbing tree, and a pavillion with firepit and tables.Plenty of Parking for 10-20 vehicles.Delicious, cold well water from kitchen sink as well as yard hydrant.Good water pressure throughout house, and ample hot water for downstairs showers.Public style men's and women's bathrooms provide plenty of toilets/urinals.Several electric griddles, lots of skillets, and a countertop roaster helped with big meals.The Bad:Contradictions in the listing made planning difficult. Listing claims to sleep 48 in one place, 39 in another. PDF of the floor plan didn't jive with the listing. When we arrived, some rooms had one less mattress or one more than the floorplan indicated. Two of the "bedrooms" (#6&7) upstairs don't have walls- beds in view of game room.Many beds were old, squeaky, & uncomfortable. Kitchen-NO DISHWASHER as indicated in listing amenities. Only 2 fridge/freezers not 3 as in listing.There is NO BAKEWARE (cookie sheets/cake pans) for oven use. Oven must be set to 500 to bake anything.The A/C is NOT central air: Two bedrooms have window AC units. Only 2 portable fans.Only 2 showers and one tub/shower in the whole place!BR with private bath & laundry had very little hot water.
