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!!!
