Description

Important things to note: This is a quiet residential neighborhood fairly close to I35 (E & W). Water hookup is limited by season; outdoor access is only available approx. mid-March to mid-October (weather pending). Be prepared for alternatives. There is a community dump station within 5 miles of my home.

House Rules

> Non-aggressive Dog/s welcome. No excessive barking. There is a yellow Lab on site. Tie outs in the front can be used, otherwise please keep your pup/s on leash or lead of your own. There is no fence. Our Lab will be kept on lead or leash while you are here.
> No smoking on property.
> No parties or persons other than your own travel family.
> Noise levels should be kept down, as it's a peaceful neighborhood.
> You are welcome to use the front yard and the section of driveway you are parked on for yourselves to place chairs, bbq. Please keep any fires safely away from vehicles and campers.
> Lastly, you are welcome to explore the back yard in the day to sit by the waterfall, or pick raspberries if they are ripe. I just ask you leave the wooden deck and concrete patio (back) for my use alone and not use the back yard after 7pm.
> Extra-Quiet hours from 10pm-8am weekdays. Weekends 11pm-9am.

I have blocked off most of cold season as it's harder to boondock at my home. You are welcome to ask, if you are prepared to dry camp (electric still available, no water) and if the driveway is not too covered in snow to fit.

Great host and location!

We were Minnesota"Podders" first guests and had a great stay! Miche88 is a great host, asked if we needed anything and was very attentive. Very nice back yard with a beautiful rock garden waterfall. Host even let us pick some fresh raspberries which we used for pancakes, yum! Miche88 also gave us great info on sights to see, Minnehaha Falls, Mall of America, all within 20-30 mins. Plenty of shopping, gas nearby. I highly recommend this BW Host! Would Definitely stay again. Thank you Miche88.
