    My husband and I stayed just one night for a quick get-away. The room was quiet and well furnished with everything fully operational. We stayed in the early spring and the room was a bit chilly, especially in the evening and night. I'd recommend bringing a sweatshirt or heavier clothing. The breakfast was delicious and overall our stay was very relaxing.

    We were met by the host, shown the house and to our room. Lovely setting for our visit to Mankato ('Deep Valley' of the Betsy-Tacy books). We were able to walk to the Betsy and Tacy houses and walk to all the neighborhood homes of her friends. Very good breakfasts and generous host. I would go back.
