Fabulous Friends Weekend
This four bedroom house was the perfect spot for our group to celebrate turning 50! The property is beautiful and offers plenty of space to hike and explore. It is located within 30 miles of many Twin Cities attractions, but is secluded. It was easy to find and there is no traffic. We were able to use Uber to get to our axe throwing experience. Everything is clearly labeled so using the kitchen was easy. Everyone slept well in the comfortable beds. The host is very responsive and ensured we had everything g we needed for a great retreat!
