vacation rental description

Directions:

Directions from the Twin Cities:  Take I-94 west to Sauk Centre, then MN 28 west to Glenwood. At the stoplight turn left on MN 104 and go five miles south.  Turn right on Pope county road 18 and go five miles west.  Turn right on 275th Ave. and go to the  intersection with 215th St and continue straight ahead into the driveway. 

Contact Information:  

Connie & Neil live in adjacent home on the property, and are usually around to assist you or answer questions. 

Charming 3 bedroom/2 bath year round house.  Originally built in 1900 as home to the family that farmed the adjacent land.   The house is completely updated, and sits on 2 acres, with 150 feet of wooded shoreline on the south side of Lake Minnewaska.  This is much more than a cabin, inside and out. 

With prior written permission, friendly pets are welcome.  There will be an additional cleaning fee.   Smoking outside only please.

Great for fall pheasant and waterfowl hunting, country getaway retreats, winter ice fishing and snowmobiling. Rates vary by season, but we believe they are always affordable, even for a family on a budget.

Private boat dock with boat bumpers. Weekly slip rental available at the marina next to Hobo Park in Starbuck.

traveler reviews for this glenwood house rental

Nice Stay at the Lake

Dennytay (Prior Lake, MN USA)
Review submitted: August 31, 2011   Date of arrival: August 14, 2011

We take a trip to Lake Minnewaska every summer to visit my wife's family in Starbuck and have rented a place on or near the lake each time. This year we found and stayed at the Twin Spruce rental and had a great stay. As advertised, the house sits up on the hill from the lake and has a nice classic feel.

Upon arriving Neil & Connie (owners) greeted us and immediately made us feel welcomed, they are very friendly and made sure we were up to speed on everything. Even though they live on the property as well, we still felt like we had the place to ourselves. They were around if we needed them or had a question, but otherwise we did not see much of them.

The place is perfect for those who are interested in an easy going and relaxing place to spend some time. The house is comfortable and has a welcoming charm. We found the beds to be comfortable and there were windows in the one upstairs bedroom that overlook the lake - a beautiful view to wake up to each morning!

My 5 year old son had his first fishing experience on the dock at this house and caught his first fish ever - a 7" Blue Gill. He proceeded to catch a dozen or so of them that day and we had a great time "just fishin".

We had a great stay and would highly recommend the Twin Spruce property to anyone looking to stay in this area.

Recommended for: families with young children, pet-friendly, romantic getaway

disappointed

HAC156460 (b.c. nv)
Review submitted: July 25, 2011   Date of arrival: July 3, 2011

no sandy beach or public beach within walking distance as told.
poor beds & insufficient air conditioning in upstairs bedrooms.
crappy cooking utensils.
no adjustment for early departure.

Owners response: We appreciate feedback, so that we can improve our guests' experience. In fact, if we are told that something is not up to expectations while you are here, we will address it right away. We have never gotten feedback on "crappy cooking utensils" before, but now that we have they will be upgraded immediately.

Not everything can be changed so easily. We don't want people to think we are something we are not. We do our best to answer all questions as honestly as possible. Of course we want to point out all the positive things we have to offer, but we go out of our way to tell you about things that could be seen as negative. There must have been a misunderstanding on the beach, as we always tell people that the south shoreline is rocky, with a sand bottom starting 20' out. The Starbuck public beach is about 2 1/2 miles away, a short drive.

As for the "poor beds", we are completely confounded. There are two full size and one queen, all with high quality pillow top mattresses. Most lake cabins do not have air conditioning, but we do. The house was built in 1900 with no central heating. When it was added, the owners had to be creative when adding duct work, so it is not perfect. Normally the nights are cool enough to open the windows, but much of July has been hotter and more humid than normal.

We do everything we can to keep our rates very affordable. You may not need an entire week, but another party may. Because of that, we have to charge for a full week, even if you leave early.

One of the reasons our rates are as low as they are, is that we realize that the place is not perfect for every group. Please make sure that our place is a good fit for your group prior to reserving. We don't want anyone to be disappointed with their stay here.
