In town for our son's wedding. Not being from Minnesota, we had no idea of town names. Manor on the River was an absolute perfect for our stay. Champlin was close to all events and there are stores close by for any items not packed. The house itself is simply stunning. We had 14 people, including 2 little ones, and everyone had plenty if room. The park across the street was an added bonus. Brian, the host, was easy to communicate with and made sure all was in order for our stay. The home is so lovely, I wished we had booked for a few extra days.Truly a dream come true and highly recommend
My friends and I drove from Chicago to stay at the Mississippi manor and we were not disappointed at all. As a group of music people our favorite part was the stereo system that has crisp and clear sound throughout the first floor. Brian was a wonderful host that provided blankets/soaps/tooth paste/brushes and towels. Any question or concern we had Brian was able to respond promptly. This was supposed to be a one time trip but we are thinking about making the Mississippi manor an annually event. 10/10 overall experience.
This property was the perfect site for our Family Holiday. The Listing and photos was exactly as listed. The Host was easy to communicate with and even set up a huge Christmas tree for our festivities! The views of the river were beautiful.
80 degrees & sunny during MEA weekend, and the property equaled the fantastic weather in every respect! Loved the kayaks, the hot tub, multiple decks/patios, the swinging recliners, the six bedrooms/bathrooms, grand piano, fully equipped kitchen(s)...
Our experience was the best of all the rentals since our group of college women began gathering for an annual "retreat" going back as far as 1987. Thank you, Brian, for creating such a great destination. We'll be back!
My family traveled up to visit with more family and watch a football game. The house was perfect for everyone to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature. Would stay here again every time we come back. Thank you
3 families stayed here to attend a Celebration of Life in Minneapolis. There was more than enough space for 11 of us. The kids (and one especially spry uncle) made great use of the loft billiards and ping pong, and we all enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The beds were comfortable and cleanliness was top notch. Our highlight of the stay was a trip on the river with the pontoon boat one gorgeous evening. This is a fantastic and relaxing property with a kind and jovial host. We so appreciate being able to bring our dog along, too.
My one issue was with the VRBO platform, which would not accept payments from different credit cards. This was inconvenient, as we wanted to split the charges amongst the 3 families. I hope VRBO will add this feature soon.
Thank you, Brian, for sharing your home!
A unique property and layout that was perfect for our group of 5 couples. The extra kitchen and fridge was a huge plus. Plenty of activities in the house. The process was seamless. Neighbors were very nice!
The house was roomy and great location. Everything worked properly. We had a question about the hot tub, and Brian was quick to respond and help us out. Definitely would come back again!
The property was amazing! Very clean. The owner was responsive and helpful. Beautiful views - we regularly saw a bald eagle flying around the river. We enjoyed this beautiful winter retreat - I can only imagine its beauty and fun during the warmer months.
Was perfect for our family. We all felt we had our own space but common areas big enough to accommodate us hanging out together. Would definitely book again if back in the area.
It has become kind of our second home. Having staid here twice now due to funerals. It is the perfect place for families to gather. And the hosts are wonderful and very accommodating. I would highly recommend
We had family fly in from all over the US, and the house had plenty of room for small groups to talk and to eat meals all together. Lots of spaces for conversation. Very nice set up.
It is a spacious beautiful home with a gorgeous view of the Mississippi River! It truly is a turn-key rental. The house is well stocked with everything needed for a lovely getaway.
This property was a great fit for our family. Plenty of room for adults and kids. Also so many activities for us. We had ping pong, pool, fuzball, TV, and games indoors. Outdoors we had a pontoon with a dock that could be pulled out into the river. It had a slide, inflatables that could be teathered to the dock. Brian, our host, gave us great instructions on pontoon operation and cautions about the river currents. He was there whenever we had questions or concerns.
We all had a great time!
