The house was adorable. Walking down to the lake was probably my favorite thing and the parks all over just a few blocks away. We were traveling as a family with my grandchildren.And the height, chair and pack and play came in very handy. Did all of our cooking at the house and everything we needed was there. I will plan on staying at this cute little house again.

The host was great at communicating - he responded right away and also provided a very nice welcome manual with all of the information about the house and town. The house was ideally located - within blocks of the lake, city park, grocery store, and downtown area. The house itself was beautifully renovated and had two large bathrooms (one with a free standing tub!). The kitchen was huge and stocked with everything you could possibly need. There was a closet full of toys for kids of all ages (and adults). This is a super comfortable home that the owners have put a lot of time and love into. I'd highly recommend it to anyone coming to Detroit Lakes, and I'll definitely stay here the next time I come back!
