Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat, Ski Lover's Haven

Step into a relaxing atmosphere at Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat. The warm spa-like color palette envelopes you in calm as you walk through the home. Three bedrooms with a sofa bed in the lower level family room, custom tiled bath, and 2 person jacuzzi jetted bath tub. We have designed this home to be a stylish and enjoyable home away from home with great amenities like a brand new kitchen fully stocked for meals, 3 Smart TVs, and a lower level recreational room complete with pool table and built-in bar.

The space
Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat is a 4 level split style home with a pleasing main floor that contains the front living room, a foyer, an informal dining area that leads to the deck and backyard, and an open concept kitchen with brand new cabinets, quartz countertops, fixtures and all new black stainless steel appliances that lead to the attached 2 car garage. It's about 6-7 steps that lead upstairs to 3 bedrooms on one level with a fully remodeled bathroom which includes new fixtures.

The kitchen is fully stocked with silverware, cups, mugs, plate ware for up to 8 people, pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, and cooking utensils as well as some bake ware. We also supply simple amenities like salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cooking oil.

We can't decide which bedroom we love more! The Blue Heron bedroom with its twin scalloped lamps, Foster Sterns pillow top mattress overlooking two large heron paintings, the Abstract Woman bedroom with it's arresting abstract painting and large flat screen Smart TV, or the Owner's bedroom with it's oriental carpet and desk workstation. You'll have to draw straws on who gets what room!

All 3 bedrooms have queen beds with stylish accents, 4 fluffy pillows, a quilt coverlet along with an extra quilt for anyone who prefers a toasty night sleep, a laundry basket & it's own waste basket. The upstairs bathroom features basic amenities for the weary traveler like hair ties, cotton pads for makeup removal, and Q-tips for your use as well as soft fluffy towels for each guest. We supply a family size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case you forgot your own.

Another 6-7 steps from the main level lead you to the laundry room on the right where washer, dryer, laundry soap, and fabric softener sheets are available for your use. To the left is the cozy family room with features a 70" Smart TV and sofa sleeper bed. There's a wood burning fireplace and a wood plank dry bar that can double as a work space or board game table. Please enjoy reading any of the selection of books we have available.

The lowest level of this home features a recreation room complete with a pool table, bar rails and wet bar, and the best feature: another 65" Smart ROKU TV.

Family Trip
The house was the perfect size for our family, updated and modeled beautifully. Kids enjoyed the thoughtfulness of a few toys to play with and we had fun playing pool too! The house, unfortunately, has an old soaked-in cigar smell that put a little damper on the feel of the home. Otherwise, all the amenities were well provided and host was easy to contact during our stay! We enjoyed being in Cottage Grove and surrounding cities of Minnesota and hope to return to the area again sometime!

Quick Stay
We were visiting friends. This was just perfect for us to sleep and make breakfast. The rest of the time we were on the water enjoying the area.

Great stay
We stayed for 10 days to attend a wedding. The home was clean and big enough for us to spread out. The smoke alarm malfunctioned and the owner arrived within 30 minutes. Fabulous communication with owners before and during our stay. They also worked with us to make accommodations for our special need child . Pack n play worked great for nap time, and the kida books were a hit. Thanks

Was pleased with property overall. There was an ant problem on the lower levels of home and it was musty smelling. Likely a mold isse somewhere from moisture. Definitely bothered my allergies.

Awesome vrbo property
Beautiful home. Owners were there with answers quickly when we needed something. Only negative for us was the amount of steps. We are in late 70's. Nice quiet neighborhood

Great location
This is a great place for the family and located close to everything. Mall of America about 20 minutes away and Afton Alps ski area was about 14 minutes straight shot. We was there to teach the little ones to snowboard. Afton Alps is a good place for beginners

Comforting house for a small family
The house has a lot to offer. Pool table, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The access to everything in the kitchen. Could have used more pots, cutlery, plates and serving platters, when making dinner in house for more than 6 people. Easy access to the house via codes to door and garage. Nice and quiet neighborhood. It was easy to call the landlady, if nessesary
