Private, Entspannen, 2 Story Country Home

Our family of 6 loved staying at this home! We loved the rooms, the kitchen, the yard--really, all of the indoor and outdoor spaces. The girls loved the chickens and couldn't wait to check for eggs each day. We spent a day at Itasca SP, and another at Bemidji, but it was so nice to come back here each evening. Our last full day, we didn't drive anywhere--did some kayaking, 4-wheeling, bean bag tossing, holding lambs, and just enjoyed staying there the whole day. Hope we can make it back again sometime! Thank you, Greg & Mary, for such an enjoyable stay!

A real gem just outside Wadena. The house is spacious and very well maintained and the property is huge! Lots to do here like minnow fishing, kayaking, star gazing, or just wading in the creek. We all loved feeding the chickens (no roosters to wake you up) and collecting eggs each day.

The owners are super nice. Greg and Mary were so kind and generous with their time. They showed us around the property and made us feel right at home. Greg even took time out to show the boys some of the big farm equipment which they all loved (Dad liked it too).

We have stayed at many rental properties over the years and the bar has certainly been raised now. I think the kids summed it up best when they all agreed "Best VRBO property ever!"

We chose this home to get away to a place of peace and quiet while some of our kids were at a camp in Western Minnesota. While in a rural setting (& very quiet) the home is not too far from the small town of Wadena. We were pleasantly surprised with just how quiet and peaceful it was, yet with opportunities to be busy and explore the farm, which made for some great memories for us, and our four youngest children who were with us.

Adventures found us feeding lambs, touring the farm, walking and kayaking down the creek, finding tree houses, exploring corn fields, and biking at a nearby mountain bike park (10 min away). We spent much more time at the house than we thought we would, not needing to go far to find things to do. The yard is nice and large, plenty enough for lots of running, throwing ball, playing games, campfires, s'mores, even chasing fireflies - which for us folk from Colorado was a very rare treat!

The home was well kept, stays nice and cool on hot days, offered a place of rest and relaxation from our adventures. We played board games, built a puzzle on the sitting room table and watched an occasional movie on the tv via Netflix. (FYI, we have verizon and had great LTE coverage at the home. Their DVD player has Netflix and we connected to that by way of my iphones hot spot. Worked just fine!).

The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals in house - and even bake brownies, of course!

Water was a bit strange for us, but we might be sensitive based on what we are used to. It is connected to a filter but we still chose to bring in bottled water.

Greg and Mary and their daughter Nichole were awesome hosts and went out of their way to make our stay great at every turn. They quickly became friends, rather than mere hosts.

All-in-all, a most awesome experience, much more than we had expected. We will most definitely be going back with the entire family!!!

Love the rural setting! The lilacs were out and the chickens were busy laying eggs so we had great breakfasts of scrambled eggs! Yum!!!! This was our second time there and the accomadations are great for our group-4 couples with plenty of space for everyone. Definitely a place we would stay at again! Many thanks to Greg and Mary for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.

There's no place like home, and that is exactly how you will feel after staying on Greg and Mary's farm. Our family had a reunion and a wedding to attend to while in Minnesota. Greg and Mary immediately made us feel like family. Whether it be touring around on the 4-Wheelers or picking fresh veggies from the garden, every moment spent on this farm was enjoyed by all. The house is cute, yet spacious. Nothing was more rewarding than evening fires capped off with star gazing and laughter. Greg and Mary constantly went out of their way to ensure we had the best vacation, despite the weather.

After spending the last 12 days here, I can say without any doubt that my family wouldn't stay anywhere else in Minnesota. You and your family will love it here!

Thank you so much Greg and Mary!
