Easy access off the interstate and close to grocery, restaurants and activities. Lots to do in the area. We would stay here again." - Vlyn, 2025-08-04 Positive aspects: Great location **Host Response:** "Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Vlyn!

We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!" --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "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.

Your recommendation truly means a lot. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and you are most welcome back anytime." --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "This house was perfect for our family vacation.

First class home and quiet neighborhood! Will lease again! Fully recommend all aspects of the rental! 👍" - James S., 2024-07-09 Positive aspects: Quiet --- ### Great property and location. (5/5 stars) "Clean, modern, comfortable for a group. Would definitely come back." - Deirdre L., 2024-07-01 Positive aspects: Cleaning, Furniture, Well Equipped, Design --- ### Service Matters (5/5 stars) "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." - James, 2024-06-19 Positive aspects: Cleaning, Manager Communication --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "Great weekend getaway spot!" - Charlotte, 2024-05-19 **Host Response:** "Charlotte, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay; we look forward to hosting you again!" --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "This was the perfect spot for a girls weekend!

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!" - Melinda, 2024-03-10 Positive aspects: Size, Well Equipped --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "We had a wonderful stay with Minnestay!

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!!" - Kimberly, 2024-02-11 Positive aspects: Size, Great location **Host Response:** "Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our Minnestay property.

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!" - Amy, 2024-01-31 Positive aspects: Manager Communication **Host Response:** "Amy, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay.
