## Description
Located on the Anoka Nature Preserve, just a stone’s throw from Rum River, this one-acre wooded hideaway is a perfect landing spot for a company retreat or family gathering. Rum River Resort boasts stunning views from nearly every room, and it has no shortage of amenities. Take a dip in the heated indoor pool, warm up in the sauna, or enjoy a movie night in the theater-like entertainment room. Each bedroom has its own TV, not to mention the other four in the basement game room and bar area.
An impressive kitchen features granite countertops that provide ample space for cooking and prepping meals. Enjoy our signature locally roasted coffee in a cozy breakfast nook that seats 3-4, right off the kitchen. The solid wood dining table holds 14 comfortably, plenty of room for family gatherings or holiday celebrations. Descend the spiral staircase and you’ll find yourself on the ground floor where the "Resort" gets its name. You’ll love the full-sized indoor swimming pool surrounded by large windows, adjacent to an equally long entertainment area with a kitchen-sized bar. Play arcade games, challenge someone to a game of pool, or simply enjoy the views.
When it's time to sleep, you’ll be more than taken care of. Rum River Resort has 9 beds: 3 King, 3 Queen, and 3 Full futons. The master bedroom has a stunning bathroom with a double shower head, as well as access to a pool viewing deck via sliding glass doors. Each bedroom has ample closet space, large plush beds, and sparkling bathrooms just down the hallway.
Architecturally speaking, this home is a delight to the eyes. Exposed brick and wooden ceiling beams contrast with the crisp white of the interior. Vaulted ceilings and large windows give the rooms an elevated feel. But if for some reason you want to leave this beautiful bungalow, you can rent some skates at the Anoka Area Ice Arena or dine at Riverbend Bar and Grill, both a short drive away. In warmer weather, grab the paddle boards from the outdoor garage and head to the Rum River, located a few steps from the back deck.

"Wonderful time, comfy mattresses and bedding. Spice carousel was great. Wished we had a few microwaveable containers to heat up food.
Pool was the hit of the stay!
Staff was extremely supportive!
No regrets!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"We selected this house as it was close to the venues of our family celebration. It accommodated our needs perfectly - enough bedrooms for everybody! The house was very clean, and the kitchen well stocked for the meal preparation and serving we needed to do.
The pool was an added benefit, and my grandchildren took advantage of it spending time in the water during the down time we had."

### Review (5/5 stars)
"The place was wonderful. It hosted 3 kids and 11 adults comfortably. No real crowding. They do have these pet gates that we used for our 1 year old toddler and it was very useful when they were out exploring the house. They were a bit cumbersome to use but otherwise it was fine. There is a spiral stair case that I would recommend people to walk down carefully as some individuals have almost slipped on. The family gathering spaces were amazing and was a blast to just hang out with each other to watch a movie. Overall, this place was just amazing. Of course the best part was the POOL! The kids loved to play in it multiple times a day."

### Review (5/5 stars)
"My family gathered for a week and had a delightful time. The pool was a hit! The kitchen was well supplied, there were plenty of towels and beds. We did have a problem with the dryer not heating. The manager came immediately, but was unable to fix the dryer. The one drawback from the listing is that the pool table was not in good condition, at all! My family enjoys playing pool, and I consider a pool table a plus in a rental. It should be replaced or repaired or not be featured in the listing."

"Our family had a fantastic time staying here during our trip. It accommodated everyone's needs perfectly. It is hard to find a place for a large family.
The pool was one of the highlights, it was definitely one of the best we've had in an Airbnb.
We'd love to stay here again. Thank you Minnestay!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"This house met our needs. Our grandkids loved the pool. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The only downfall-we couldn’t use the outside area as the mosquitoes were really bad. We enjoyed our stay and would 100% do it again."

### Review (5/5 stars)
"My family really enjoyed this rental. Plenty of things to do and ample space. Everyone had their own bedroom and really appreciated having endless access to the pool. Everyone's very first thought when entering the house was, 'This place would be great for hiding n seek'. The sauna was a favorite as well as the movie room. I would certainly rent this place again if I have a need for a 6 bedroom 6k+ sq foot rental place."

### Gatewood Stay (5/5 stars)
"The home is beautiful. The kids had a wonderful time in the pool. Seating is great as our gruop is large.The kitchen towel and dish cloths were lacking. There were 2 towels and two dish cloths.The one chair in the television room has a bolt missing and was difficult to get into and out of.Thanks for the cleanliness and other amenities."

### Plenty of Space! (5/5 stars)
"We had plenty of room to spread out our 17 people! The indoor pool, theatre and billiard rooms were very useful. The netting on the catwalk above the pool was a nice safety touch. The dining room table was a great gathering space for all. The amount of chlorine in the pool was a bit too strong though, most of the kids broke out in a rash after swimming. The other reviews mentioned lack of enough pots and pans so we brought our own, and we were very glad that we did. All is all, a lovely weekend away that we would be happy to return to!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"We had a great time over Christmas. The kids and adults loved the pool. All in all, it was a great family time. In my opinion, two things about the house needed attention. The cooktop/vent hood needs updating (replacing) and the fireplaces do not work. That was disappointing. The management comped me a pet fee for the fireplace."

**Host Response:**
"Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you and your family had an enjoyable stay overall, particularly with the use of the pool. Your comments about the cooktop/vent hood and non-functioning fireplaces are appreciated, and we will be sure to address these items to improve future guest experiences. We value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back in the future."

### Review (5/5 stars)
"Great stay for three families with young kids--lots of space to spread out and we had tons of fun. Loved the pool, of course, along with the sauna, the movie area, and the large dining room for crafts and meals.
There were a few minor issues, mainly in the kitchen. Everything was made of plastic, which made sense for avoiding pool mishaps, but wasn't ideal for reheating meals in the microwave. The pots and pans were heavily scratched non-stick, which made cooking for the large group challenging. Also, the pool was pretty cloudy.
These issues are easy enough to resolve and, considering all the positives of this place, we would stay here again!"

**Host Response:**
"Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting the positives as well as areas where we can improve. We're delighted that your group enjoyed the spaciousness, the pool, sauna, movie area, and the dining room for your activities. We truly value your feedback about the kitchenware and pool clarity. We'll look into upgrading the cookware and evaluating the pool maintenance to ensure everything meets expectations for future stays. We're so glad you had a great time overall and would love to welcome you back again."

### Exceeded expectations (5/5 stars)
"This is a great property. The house was spacious, clean and inviting. We loved being able to hang out together or spread out throughout the multiple living areas. Comfy furniture and beds. Great dining space with room for everyone. We spent many hours enjoying the pool, which was warm and awesome for the January days! Perfect for our group of friends and small kids. Will recommend to others and would absolutely rent again."

### FAMILY WEEKEND HERE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! (5/5 stars)
"When you pull up to the house you think it's small, but it was huge inside! We have a very large family and it was perfect for a long weekend for us. This is our Christmas gift to our kids and grandkids and it did not disappoint! The pool was a hit and it was a full size pool. The boys loved playing basketball in there and the younger ones loved floating around and playing in the pool with no time limits! We did bring our own floaties to use. Beach towels were provided there. The sauna was a big hit! I loved that the bedrooms upstairs are away from the pool table area, so the boys could play pool into the night and we didn't hear them. 3 1/2 bathrooms were great as that is always needed! We loved that we could put our truck in the garage for the weekend. The house is the last one on that street, so no traffic. They had plenty of extra throw blankets around to use in the comfy recliners when they watched TV upstairs. The bar area was perfect with round tables to play games and puzzles on. Only thing I would say is needed is extra garbage cans downstairs as we like to recycle and keep garbage separate. We also like to wash our dishes, so could have used a dish tray with some dish rags, towels and some scrubbies for the pans. Otherwise they have a dishwasher for use. We just had a lot of pans to clean and loved the big sink. There is Super Target close by if in need of items. Highly recommend this house for a get away! Thanks for a fun weekend!"

"Great place and a part of Anoka history. Had a family gathering with children, their partners and grandchildren. The house was plenty big enough for all of us to get together and have privacy. Everyone loved the pool and was fun to swim and see the snow outside!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"The house was enormous, clean, and provided tons of things for all of us to do. It was well stocked and the owner went above and beyond to address any issues we had and resolved them quickly. Our only complaint was that the patio doors to the backyard are extremely difficult to open and close."

"This house is an awesome place to stay. It's very large, beautiful on the inside and outside. It was as described. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are very clean. I want to say one of the best places I have stayed. Kids had a blast with the pool, and they had a very fun and pleasant stay. This is definitely a place where a big sized group can stay and be comfortable."

### Review (5/5 stars)
"We had a great time! The woods were beautiful and the SUPs were fun. The river is quite close and the short hike to get to it easy. The rooms were very clean and the beds were so comfortable. The futon sofas were a bit less comfy as one could feel the bars through the cushions but we were able to use some of the extra comforters as additional padding. Kitchen was great for cooking and buffet style meals as well as for a large group to gather and chat as we were preparing food. The large table let us all eat together. What was really nice was that there were pans and utensils available. That hasn't always been our experience so it was a relief that we didn't have to buy any of that stuff for our stay. It was easy to feel comfortable in this place and we settled in quickly. The information provided by Minnestay was thorough and set very clear expectations. And...the pool was great!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"Great place for a large family with kids. The pool was great, the game room and movie room were also well received by the entire family. Beds are comfortable and linens are hotel quality. Host provided toothbrushes, paste, soaps, mouthwash, popcorn and snacks along with a whole bean bag of coffee - all nice touches. Good selection of kitchen accessories for cooking your own meals. Make sure to bring your own coffee (or grinder) as none is provided. If you have small children you may want to bring your own pack-n-play. A safety gate is not a bad idea either. The spiral staircase in the kitchen is a magnet for small children and they will tumble (as witnessed) like Jack & Jill straight to the bottom. Overall it was a good stay and would recommend to others. OH - and if someone parks in the driveway and breaks into the garage, its just the garbage man taking the trash cans to the curb. HA!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"We planned a family winter weekend getaway, and the property provided a perfect location. The six spacious bedrooms meant everyone had their own room. All of the beds and furniture were very comfortable. The indoor swimming pool provided both the kids and adults with hours of entertainment during the Minnesota winter. We also had a pool tournament in the game room and enjoyed the movie theatre room. The kitchen and large dining table were perfect for our large family."

### Review (5/5 stars)
"This home was wonderful for a long weekend vacation/staycation with family! Tons of space, very comfortable, and lots of spaces to hang out. The kids loved the HUGE pool and the arcade games, and the pool table and loving room area were also excellent. Comfortable furnishings and plenty of towels. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and silverware for a very large group (all plastic, which we didn't mind at all since we had little ones in the group!), and basic pots/pans/etc but not a ton of other extras. Our only issue was we couldn't get the sauna to work--possibly user error, but we followed the directions. Would've been nice to have, but we still really enjoyed our stay and would rent again if the occasion arises!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"The house was located in a nice, quiet area. We had a family of 11 adults stay there and it had plenty of space for all of us. The host was very responsive to our questions. It was close to restaurants and activities around the cities. One thing that could make it better would be more cooking items in the kitchen. Overall, it was a great space for our family get away!"
