Summary: Lori is a wonderful host - the property is just as described and extremely clean. The 2 bedrooms are beautiful with plenty of natural light. The main area has all you need for a long weekend - a couch, 2 comfortable chairs, high top table, sizeable fridge/freezer, breakfast bar area, ginormous TV...all very comfortable! There is garage space to store bikes, if you are in the area for cycling. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the surrounding communities. Lori also provides a delicious treat and a kind note upon arrival. Lori I wish you great success with your VRBO, you truly are a 5 star host! Thank you for providing this space for us to use for a long weekend.

Summary: Everything promised is there, but there are also some surprises, little thoughtful things, like a laptop "desk" in the nightstand so that you can work sitting up in bed; coffee and cereals; and a desk drawer with pens and scissors and other things you might need. And the dorm style refrigerator had a pretty good sized freezer. I could put in my 1.5 gallon ice cream container, and a frozen hot dish container. And a tip - empty the ice tray into a bowl, set it in the freezer, and refill the tray so that you will have ice at the ready. Lori was there for anything I might need. I'm going back again soon!

Summary: The perfect little place for a quick friends getaway. Four of us stayed to celebrate a friend's birthday. (Two gals per room.) We brought bikes and biked down to the Preston Trailhead and then on to Lanesboro. We had a gorgeous bike ride and had a fun day in Lanesboro. Preston is not far and has plenty of amenities. The space itself is cute and clean and the host is lovely and responsive. Great experience overall!
Skip M. Sep 26, 2024 03:43:37 AM
Summary: We really liked the location and quietness of this rental. Lori gives nice attention to detail, even welcome cookies and cold water in the fridge! We could easily jump on the bike path across town. Also not too far from trout fishing streams. We would stay again!
Cheryl B. Sep 18, 2024 06:02:35 AM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Root River Retreat and would stay here again! Easy check-in and check-out process. The space was clean, cozy and contained everything we needed for a short stay to enjoy golf and biking. Beds and furnishings were very comfortable. Towels and bedding were soft and new. Host was a gem, providing bike storage and parking space. She answered our questions very quickly and provided delicious cookies to enjoy upon our arrival. Safe, quiet neighborhood with easy access to state bike trail and very close to golf courses and local restaurants.

Summary: The neighborhood was quiet and great location to visit the many attractions in the area. We went to Lanesboro & Mystery Cave, and this was the perfect middle location. We ate lunch at B&B Bowling and it was great! Highly recommend it.
