Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home, which had everything we needed to feel comfortable and cozy while also having so much to appreciate outdoors. The location is very close to lots of beautiful hiking trails and sightseeing as well as the towns of St. Croix Falls, Taylor's Falls, and Osceola, with lots of shops, restaurants, and things to do. We stayed there in the early spring, but lucked out with some great weather so we could enjoy a fire in the outdoor fire pit by the lake, and grilled each night on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake. We also loved the indoor fireplace and large living room (and downstairs family room) for plenty of games and cozy conversation. We even were able to enjoy horseshoes outside and foosball in the garage. Communication with the host was easy and responsive, and our entire experience was top notch. Would definitely stay again!
