Family Christmas
Our family did have a great time together…because we were together! The house did have a nice large family room for all of us to gather in. The Christmas decorations were severely lacking. We have rented homes in the Twin Cities for Christmas for several years now, and this was the most disappointing. I have also rented all over the world for many years and this was the first time I felt I was literally in someone’s personal home. All of their personal items were stuffed in drawers and closets throughout the home. The dishes in the kitchen were dirty and had to be washed prior to use. It was not a good experience especially for the very high price!! It should have been priced below 500 a night, not 1,500! Megan was very nice and very responsive, but I would not rent this home again and I would not recommend it unless they depersonalize it, clean it, and lower the price.

The most detailed review you will see. (HOST tried to SCAM us)
If you are between the ages of 21-25, do NOT book this property. Let me start off by saying that the host and I had gotten off on the wrong foot, and would not let me book the house for this past weekend on Halloween because of our age. I understand we're at the "partying age" but I let the host know it was NOT a party, rather we all only had this weekend off in the next couple of months. My friends had flown in and driven 6+ hours to get to the property, and when we went in we realized beds that were listed did not exist. We ended up contacting the host who pointed to air mattresses that were in a room. Irritating but we can deal. We paid more money than most of us make in 3 months for the weekend because we thought everyone would have a place to sleep. The property itself was lovely when looking at it from a cosmetic perspective, but every closet was FILLED with clothes, there were other people's things EVERYWHERE, furniture was worn down, and there were not enough beds to sleep 16 people as the property listing states. I can't even begin with the filth that was in the basement. Bugs were everywhere, and it was an unfinished basement. The washer/dryer unit that was listed was in the basement, had clothes that were left in the wash so the basement REEKED. Before we left the property, we cleaned it thoroughly. We left trash in trash bins outside and told the host the main thing was dishes that we had left IN the dishwasher that was running. After the stay, the host attempted to charge me an extra hundred for "cleaning" though in the VRBO payment we were charged a pretty penny for it already. When I asked the host for evidence, like pictures from cleaners, I was GHOSTED. I contacted VRBO to make sure I was okay to not do so, and luckily because my job requires me to travel I'm very familiar with AirBnb's and VRBO's so I did not fall for the oldest trick in the book. I get that we are young, but we are humans and we treated you and your property with respect. The least we expected was respect back. Ideally, I would love to see ANY of our money back, but I highly doubt I will, so hopefully you won't book.

Wonderful property
This property was absolutely as advertised, house was clean, neat, spacious, the backyard and deck were a definite plus. Property manager was very responsive and helpful which made which made checking in and out very smooth. The house is located near all the amenities that you might need for a large group of people gathered for a long weekend. Really great experience for everyone, would definitely rent again.

Wildly Overpriced
The amount that you pay for something matters. I paid a lot per night for this property, and thus I expected a high quality experience. (Vrbo won't let me put the specific amount in this review, which is to the detriment of potential renters who want to understand the context.) The property is extremely worn out, disorganized, and dirty. Maybe some people would find the pros and cons to balance if they were paying far less. I however will never stay here again. Pros: the back yard is large, private, and and has nice trees. The pool is okay. Cons: every piece of furniture, appliance, etc., is very old and worn. Everything is disorganized and dirty. The washer and dryer are in a disgusting basement. When we arrived, it seemed like they had only half cleaned. Trash was not taken out, BBQ grill was balanced on the pool fence, etc. As a reference point, I looked at the real estate estimate and history for this property. Each night I stayed there I paid approximately enough for a full month mortgage payment. That is some objective 3rd party evidence of how inappropriate the pricing is. I would suggest you consider staying anywhere else instead.

Wonderful stay at North Oaks home!
We had a spectacular time at this home! It is gorgeous and incredibly spacious! The hosts were extremely accommodating, and Megan was prompt with answering questions. We hosted a small wedding of 23 people there and it was the perfect spot. We could not have imagined a better place for our wedding! The minute we crossed the threshold we felt right at home and welcomed. There’s a large kitchen for prepping food and plenty of counter space for serving a buffet style meal. We held the ceremony in the large living room in front of the beautiful white fireplace and our guests were able to be seated in an intimate arrangement around us. There’s a table and eating space in the kitchen, just off the living room, which we used to serve appetizers before moving into the beautiful dining room where all our guests were able to be seated for dinner. The hosts had several tables, chairs, and tablecloths for us to use and their lovely décor was the perfect backdrop and ambience for an elegant and cozy wedding reception. There is even a foosball table and an arcade basketball game to keep guests entertained. With all the bedrooms, several of us where able to stay at the house, which made the occasion even more special getting to spend additional time with family and friends. The bedrooms worked well for getting ready and there were enough bathrooms that no one ever had to wait for a shower! We were especially delighted by the nursery off the main bedroom which came in so handy for my infant niece for a private space to feed, nap, and change diapers. This is the perfect place for a large group or family gathering! The home was very clean and had a lot of amenities including a very nice coffee maker! The TV in the living room is great for a night of movie watching as well. Everything was well labeled, and we easily found what we needed. I can see it’d also be a great place to stay in the summer with the pool, big back yard, fire pit, and large deck space! We didn’t want to leave and hope to go back again! A very special place for us!

Mostly good
The property was nice and in a beautiful area. The owner communicator through app. House worked well for a girls weekend but we definitely did not enjoy the birds. They were loud at times and right near the kitchen area. More parking space than we were told, which helped for people coming from different parts of the cities. One huge thing was when we first walked in, there was a bad smell. We figured out it was coming from the kitchen, then figured under the kitchen sink. There was a dead mouse in a trap in which had to have been there for a while. We took care of it but it was hard to get the smell out especially with the thermometers locked at 70 degrees. All in all it was a decent property and may be more fun in the summertime with the pool and deck etc.

Covid Wedding Home Base
My family and I used this VRBO as a home base for my wedding weekend and to host a small rehearsal dinner and reception. The home is very much as the photos portray, a large family home with generous spaces and full cupboards which worked great for us. That does come with some trade offs like full closets and some pet birds to be aware of if you were staying for longer. Overall this place helped us make the best of getting married in the middle of a pandemic which is exactly what we were looking for.

This house was generally dirty, with overflowing garbage and recycling cans. We thought the price charged was too high for what we got. I would not recommend the house in the condition it's in. On the plus side, it did accommodate a large group in the house's gathering room and dining room.

Great space but lacking details
This home was beautiful when we walked in, the space was great and super accommodating for our 15 person bachelorette party. What was lacking were the details. We promptly ran out of toilet paper, food was left in the oven that burnt up when we preheated it and acorns were all over the deck and pool area. The house accomplished what we needed it to do but the little things like a gate at the top of the stairs, personal items and other miscellaneous things made us feel like we were invading their personal space. Not to mention the list of dos and don’ts including no high heels on the deck left us on edge all weekend. Overall, a great space but when renting out a primary residence it might be worth thinking twice about just packing up for the weekend.
