Charming and centrally located
We enjoyed our holiday weekend stay in this comfortable, charming home that is centrally located to Lanesboro area activities. Exceptionally clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a long stay. Activities we especially enjoyed were Mystery Cave State Park and Estelle’s Eatery in Harmony. Highly recommend to those visiting the area.

Sister’s stay
Incredibly clean and comfortable. Reminded me of my first house which made me feel right at home. Pauline is considerate and leaves staple items from previous guests. S&P, a few condiments, coffee supplies, etc. and keeps the checkout process simple! Thanks

My Grandson's birthday
We were in town for my grandson's birthday. We usually stay at a nearby inn but it was booked, so we tried a VRBO. It was my first time and I am thoroughly happy with the experience. Pauline provided communications and updates from the moment the house was booked. When we arrived the home was clean and inviting. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay. I would recommend anyone to stay at the property. Carol
