Review
"We have stayed at vacation rentals for 20 years. This one tops the list. Very spacious, brightly decorated, lots of bright windows, four bedrooms, three baths, most every utensil we needed. And the gymnasium was a huge hit. The in-home theater requires a computer, and we didn’t bring one, so we spent our evenings out by the campfire, making s’mores. Then we came in and played games at the big table. We took the pontoon on the St. Croix River at the local marina. Ate in Hudson four times and Afton once. Otherwise we used the kitchen to cook big family meals together. Our son has stage four cancer, so we asked that they could be flexible with the timing of our rental based on his chemo treatments. They were incredibly thoughtful and flexible. If you have kids or young adults, whether it’s summer fall, spring, or winter, this is an awesome place. Especially for families up to 10 people. "

Amazing Rental!
"The property was perfect for our small friend gathering! Plenty of space for people to sleep and the beds were comfortable. It was extremely clean and had a lot of natural light shining through. It is very family friendly with all the amenities - including blackout blinds. We enjoyed playing pickleball in the gym!"
- Casey
Review
"We were a group of nine made up of moms and adult daughters. We had plenty of room and enjoyed everything about our stay! Hudson and Stillwater are both so close for great dining and shopping options and we hiked at beautiful Willow River State Park about 20 minutes away. We highly recommend this place to groups!"

Review
"Our family really enjoyed our stayed. My teenagers that are hard to please asked to come back. The basketball court was the cherry on top. They were there all day and night. The home is very spacious, clean and has everything you need to feel at home. It’s conveniently located close to the highway and by a great Mexican restaurant. Can’t wait to visit again!"

Service Matters
"The home was as pictured: bright, open layout, and clean. The downstairs gym was a plus. What made this stay memorable, however, was the unbelievably prompt response we got from the owner and property manager to an air conditioning problem. We received a visit from the owner within 30 minutes and the unit was serviced within the hour. Things at times go sideways, but it is the response that matters. Thanks for the great stay."

Felt very comfortable and appreciated all of the items provided by the host (complimentary snacks, tooth brushes and paste, makeup wipes, etc)! We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Host was very responsive with any questions we had."

Dream Home
"This was an amazing place. We have 3 boys, 2 with a TON of energy and one who just loves to game. The space was incredible for all. Mom loves to cook, so the kitchen was AMAZING for everything you could ask for along with the perfect glass for her wine...red OR white! The boys got to run off their energy in the gym, we enjoyed a family walk in the quiet neighborhood. Honestly, we couldn't asked for more. Truly a home away from home. It really is the Happy Home!"

"This home is lovely, spacious, and the indoor sport court is such a great bonus! We were here for a girls/moms getaway and actually used the sport court quite a bit to play pickleball, basketball, and for a general workout area. The home is so close to Woodbury, Hudson, and Stillwater so the location is ideal! The rooms as very well kept and cozy. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs and then 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom downstairs. It was a great getaway space!!"

"From the booking process to the actual stay, this was overall a wonderful experience. Very responsive hosts, thoughtful amenities, and comfortable house. It was perfect for our quick trip to Afton Alps and I would recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Hudson is super close and Lakeland/Afton itself is a super cute quaint city. I have already sent the listing to another family friend I think would enjoy it! The small gym in the house was our kids favorite!"
