Had a very enjoyable 4 nights at this home. Very clean, up to date furnishings…. Extremely well stocked with all spices and other kitchen essentials. View was lovely from patio and very spacious for our 5 adults and 2 small children. Beach and playground were within a 5-10 minute walk. In a safe and upscale neighborhood. Host, Stacy, was quick to respond with any questions. A note of caution- there is only 1 bedroom on the main floor and it has a queen bed. We are an average sized couple, but used to a king bed, so it was a little cozy!

Fantastic location

We had 10 people staying and this house was perfect. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful location. The inside was beautifully decorated. There was so much to do at the house activities-wise, that we didn't find ourselves leaving very often other than for food. I would highly recommend!!

Relax, Kick Back, and Have Fun!

This is a gorgeous property that easily held 9 adults - with room for more. It's spacious with lots to do, plus it's near many fun activities and restaurants, but has a quiet feel to it. Stacy was amazing to work with - seriously one of the best VRBO hosts that I've ever had. We would definitely go back again!

Cedar house was the perfect space for a college roommate reunion. We enjoyed sitting on the deck together and lounging in the large living area. Everything was so clean and it was lovely to not have the responsibility of washing towels and linens before we left. The kitchen could use some serving/mixing bowls but other than that, we had everything we needed!

Fabulous Wedding Weekend!

Our daughter got married the weekend we stayed at this lovely home. We could not have been more comfortable. Great spaces for gathering with some out of town guests for breakfast the morning after the wedding. Your home will always be part of our memories of a wonderful celebration in the Chaska/Victoria/Chanhassen area.

This place was truly an amazing rental and the hosts Mike/Stacy are truly what you look for in hosts when you need a place that feels like home. Very spacious and the photos are just a sample size of the magnificent of this rental. They made it very accessible and they were responsive just as quick as they could be with all of our needs/conviences. Would recommend this spot to any and everyone. 10/10 all around!!!

"Roughing It" At Red Cedar - NOT!

Wow - the perfect home to have our reunion - a beautiful,large living room for conversation, kitchen and dining room to savor meals and drinks, a deck to appreciate the lake and nature and enough beds to have a great sleep. There were so many other amenties that we didn't have time to appreciate - next time!

Jaw dropping Property

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Stacy made it say easy and even came and introduced herself and told us a little about the home. I loved this as no one ever does that. We didn't use outside as it was cold out but a lovely view and fir our group of 12 wonderful and not on top of one another.
