Air conditioning was not that good. Very hot weekend and could not keep up. Location was good. House conditions were good. Host was very responsive to issues that arose. Spiral staircase was intimidating. Overall, it was a good weekend getaway.

Birthday getaway

To celebrate my 60th birthday my 2 adults girls and I were looking for a place close to the Twin Cities, but with fun things to do. This place fit our needs very well. It's cute, clean, and near many area attractions (too many to fit into our short stay).

Sweet Fall Weekend Getaway!

We came here for a bachelorette party weekend and had a great time! Right in the heart of taylor’s falls - we were able to hike, eat good food, and catch a boat cruise in stillwater! Cory was an amazing host and was responsive to all our questions. Home was clean and provided all the things we needed!

Taylors Falls Getaway

My family and I travelled to Taylors Falls for a quick getaway. I fell in love with this listing online. They were very prompt with communication, and even put a baby gate up because I was traveling with small children. It’s a beautiful place and I definitely recommend it!

Girlfriend’s Week

My friend and I booked the Scandinavian Retreat for our girlfriend get-away week, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The house is welcoming, the decor is peaceful and set up in a way that encourages relaxation as well as communication. At the end of the day, my friend and I enjoyed having our own space for privacy at night. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, and check-in was very easy. We highly recommend this location, and our hosts!

Fun Family Getaway in Taylors Falls!

We had a wonderful stay at the Scandinavian Retreat over Thanksgiving weekend. It was the perfect start to the holiday season, made even more special by the village parade that began right in front of the house! We enjoyed walking just a few blocks to the festivities, where we admired the beautiful lights, bonfires, and historic homes illuminated for the occasion. The house itself was cozy and welcoming, equipped with everything we needed and many thoughtful extras. There were plenty of dishes and cooking supplies, along with additions like avocado and coconut oils, seasonings, condiments, and handy supplies such as baggies and foil. The soaps, lotions, and extra toiletries were a lovely touch as well. Our son especially loved having his own space up the spiral staircase. We would absolutely book this lovely home again. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Taylors Falls

The house was very cute. The owners thought of everything. There were amenitiies all over the house. The lanai was a special treat. Very relaxing to sit there and have morning coffee. The house was very, very clean, and the kitchen was supplied with all kinds of utensils and dinnerware. Coffee was even supplied! We had a very enjoyable stay
