CleaningGreat location

"We could not have had a better experience. The custom home was of the highest quality. It included everything we needed for our stay. We cannot wait to plan another trip back to Shoreview and we will stay at this home again and again. It was a five star experience in every way."

- Jane

Host Response:

"Thank you for your wonderful review, Jane! We're delighted to hear you and your group enjoyed your stay at Turtle Lake Cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back to Shoreview again in the future!"

Well Equipped

"The house is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully furnished- everything was spotless and seemed new, with high end appliances. The kitchen is amazing with a huge island. There are wonderful views of the lake from the large back porch. This house was a great gathering spot for our family coming in from out of town. <br/>There were a couple of downfalls, however. The downstairs bedroom has no door to separate it from the living area-you have to walk through that bedroom to use the downstairs bathroom, which is awkward. The steps down by the dock area are in bad shape, watch your step. Overall it’s an amazing property with lake amenities."

- Becky

Host Response:

"Thank you for your detailed review. We appreciate your honest feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the gorgeous furnishings, high-end appliances, and stunning lake views. Your comments about the layout of the downstairs bedroom and the condition of the dock steps are valuable, and we will address these issues. We aim to provide an exceptional experience for all our guests, and your input helps us improve. We hope you had a wonderful time overall and look forward to welcoming you back in the future."
