Long weekend in WBL
We relaxed and enjoyed our stay at this home. We really like the White Bear Lake area. The beds are comfortable. The house is big enough for 3-4 people to spread out and do their own thing The listing is confusing, but I can say that there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Plenty of kitchen gear for what we needed. Washing machine is in great shape and amazing - dryer is older and slower. Nice large lot, though on a busy street. The tub is only usable as a shower because the stopper doesn’t fit in the tub, which disappointed our son. The on demand water heater is a bit fussy if you try to shower and any other water is running. Pro tip: if the TV won’t turn on, it’s likely the wall switch for the lamps has been turned off.

Great short-term stay!
Kim was a great host and his home was perfect for our stay. His home was stocked with everything you could need for a weeklong stay and was very clean. There was plenty of space to park and while the home is off a busier road, it is a very quiet area. Kim was at the property working most days our group stayed, but he kept to himself and was pleasant to chat with when we ran into him. I would definitely recommend staying!

Pleasant house near the lake
The house was clean, comfortable, and pleasant. Kitchen had everything we needed. The living room had several really comfortable chairs - which most VRBOs do not! Bathrooms were well supplied. Our host Kim made us welcome without intruding. Only suggestion I could possibly think of would be to put just one railing somewhere on the stairs to that lovely, wrap-around porch to make it a bit easier for the old folks. We were there a week and had a great stay.

Excellent stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals for our 5 night stay. The location was great and we look forward to returning when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the outdoor space, plus walk & bike around the area. WBL is such a cute area.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and comforting. Unfortunatley our stay was due to a family sadden event. Being able to gather in the comfort of this home made our stay emotionally easier. Our family was able to come and visit with us. Your home is beautiful and enjoyable. Thank you The Gallaghers

Would have love to spend the week. Instead, after my confirmation and charging my credit card. I was called by the owner telling me the proporty was not available. Total cluster between owner and VRBO and still dont have all my money back.
